Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse contradicts Leviticus 14:17 by suggesting that what defiles a person is not external substances but rather the words and actions from within, which moves the focus from external anointing to inner purity.
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
This verse implies that external things, including ritual anointing, do not defile a person, contrasting with Leviticus 14:17's emphasis on external ritual as part of purification.
Mark 7:15: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
This verse indicates that nothing is unclean in itself, opposing the idea in Leviticus 14:17 of needing anointing for cleanliness.
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 Hebrews 10:22
This verse emphasizes internal cleansing through faith rather than external rites, challenging the focus on the anointing ritual in Leviticus 14:17.
Hebrews 10:22: Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
