Contradiction with Matthew 12:7

Contradiction with Hebrews 10:1
This verse indicates the law, including ritual sacrifices, was only a shadow of good things to come and not the very image, suggesting the limitations and transience of such rituals.
Hebrews 10:1: For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17
Paul teaches that rituals and laws concerning food, drink, and holy days are a shadow of things to come and not to be judged, potentially contradicting the permanence implied by Leviticus.

Galatians 3:23-25: But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:17-18
While Jesus comes not to abolish the law but to fulfill it, the interpretation in practice can imply a transformation of the law's application, potentially contradicting a literal adherence to practices like those in Leviticus.
Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul states that nothing is unclean in itself, challenging the concept of ritual purity found in Leviticus laws.
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]
