Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13
This verse states, "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away," suggesting the old covenant is becoming obsolete, whereas Jeremiah 31:33 implies the new covenant with God's laws in hearts is continuous and enduring.
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
In this verse, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son," it emphasizes individual responsibility for sin, whereas Jeremiah 31:33 implies a collective nature of God's covenant with the people.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Psalm 147:19-20
Here, it says, "He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them," focusing on Israel specifically, while Jeremiah 31:33 suggests a more personal and inclusive aspect of the covenant with each person.
Psalm 147:19-20: He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. [his word: Heb. his words]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or inconsistency might be related to the idea that the laws or covenant were supposed to be written on people's hearts, suggesting a direct and personal relationship with God. Some people might see a contradiction with earlier biblical teachings that emphasized following external laws and rituals. This could lead to debate about the nature of the covenant and how it was supposed to be practiced historically.
