Contradiction with Leviticus 10:10
Leviticus instructs to differentiate between holy and unholy, as well as clean and unclean, implying that there are definitive distinctions, rather than the scenario raised in Haggai 2:11 about holiness transferring.
Leviticus 10:10: And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
Jesus states that it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person but what comes out, contradicting the theme in Haggai 2:11 regarding the physical transference of holiness or defilement.
Matthew 15:11: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Contradiction with Mark 7:15
Similar to Matthew 15:11, this verse emphasizes internal purity over physical interactions, contrasted with the external ceremonial concerns in Haggai 2:11.
Mark 7:15: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
This verse suggests that nothing is unclean in itself, contradicting the principle in Haggai 2:11 concerning the transferability of holiness or uncleanness through physical objects.
Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean. [unclean: Gr. common]
Contradiction with Acts 10:15
Here, God declares that what He has cleansed should not be considered unholy, which challenges Haggai 2:11’s notion of how holiness or unholiness can be apportioned through contact.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
