Contradiction with Acts 10:15
This verse, where God tells Peter, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common," contradicts the dietary restrictions of Leviticus 11:38 by suggesting all foods are clean.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
Jesus declares that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them, thus contradicting Leviticus 11:38's dietary law by implying all foods are permissible.
Mark 7:18-19: Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul states, "There is nothing unclean of itself," directly opposing Leviticus 11:38 by asserting that no food is inherently unclean for consumption.
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 1 Timothy 4:4-5
These verses claim that every creature of God is good and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving, suggesting all foods are acceptable, which opposes the dietary restrictions of Leviticus 11:38.
1 Timothy 4:4-5: For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in Leviticus 11:38 could be seen in the distinction between what is considered clean and unclean, which may clash with modern understandings of dietary practices or fairness. What might have been seen as practical or necessary in ancient times could be viewed as arbitrary or restrictive today. This can cause tension between following traditional religious rules and adapting to contemporary values and knowledge.
