Contradiction with Leviticus 4:20
While Hebrews 13:12 discusses sanctification through Jesus' suffering outside the camp, Leviticus 4:20 describes atonement through the sacrifice of bulls within the camp, illustrating a contrast in the physical location and perceived cleansing power of sacrifices.
Leviticus 4:20: And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
Contradiction with Exodus 29:14
Hebrews 13:12 talks about sanctification through Jesus suffering outside the gate, whereas in Exodus 29:14, the sin offering is to be burned outside the camp, indicative of impurity, showing a different concept of what is considered holy or acceptable.
Exodus 29:14: But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it [is] a sin offering.
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
Hebrews 13:12 speaks of sanctification through sacrifice, while Matthew 9:13 emphasizes mercy over sacrifice, suggesting a contrast in the focus on ritual sacrifices versus moral or ethical behavior.
Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
Hebrews 13:12 suggests that sanctification comes through Jesus as a sacrifice, but Isaiah 1:11 questions the value and desirability of multitudes of sacrifices, potentially contradicting the need for ritualistic sacrifices for purification.
Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
Contradiction with Hebrews 9:12
While Hebrews 13:12 highlights sanctification through suffering outside the camp, Hebrews 9:12 emphasizes the use of Jesus' blood for obtaining eternal redemption, focusing more on blood than on the location of the sacrifice.
Hebrews 9:12: Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].
Contradiction with Psalms 51:16-17
Hebrews 13:12 discusses sanctification via Jesus' physical suffering, whereas Psalms 51:16-17 expresses that God does not delight in sacrifices but in a contrite heart, suggesting the superiority of inner spiritual transformation over sacrificial rites.
Psalms 51:16-17: For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]: thou delightest not in burnt offering. [else...: or, that I should]
