Contradiction with Hebrews 10:11-12
These verses explain that Christ's offering is once for all, suggesting that continual offerings by human priests as implied in Jeremiah 33:18 are unnecessary.
Hebrews 10:11-12: And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Contradiction with Hebrews 7:23-24
These verses mention the many priests because they were prevent from continuous service by death unlike Christ who continues forever, which contrasts with the endless line of priests described in Jeremiah 33:18.
Hebrews 7:23-24: And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Contradiction with Hebrews 9:12
This verse notes that Christ entered the Holy Place once for all by His own blood, challenging the need for continual offerings by priests as mentioned in Jeremiah 33:18.
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 Matthew 27:51
It states the veil in the temple was torn after Jesus’ death, signifying the end of the old covenant practices, including the sacrificial system referenced in Jeremiah 33:18.
Matthew 27:51: And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Contradiction with 1 Peter 2:9
This verse describes believers as a 'royal priesthood,' which contrasts with the idea of a distinct Levitical priesthood suggested by Jeremiah 33:18.
1 Peter 2:9: But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [peculiar: or, purchased] [praises: or, virtues]
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 33:18 could be seen as inconsistent if one considers the New Testament teachings, which suggest that Jesus Christ's sacrifice fulfilled and replaced the need for continual offerings and sacrifices that were part of the Old Testament practices. This verse might seem to contradict the idea that Jesus serves as the final and ultimate sacrifice, therefore rendering the old sacrificial system obsolete.
Paradox #2
Jeremiah 33:18 might conflict with historical facts because it promises a continuous line of Levitical priests offering sacrifices. History shows that after the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD, these priestly rituals stopped. This can be seen as a contradiction between the biblical promise and historical events.
