Check out Contradictions Catalog of Leviticus 14:48 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Leviticus 14:48. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of the book of Leviticus, if a priest checks a house and sees that a bad spot hasn't grown after fixing it, he will say the house is clean because the problem is gone. This shows how people made sure places were safe and healthy a long time ago.

Leviticus 14:48: And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it], and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. [shall come...: Heb. in coming in shall come in, etc]

Contradiction with Mark 7:15

This verse suggests that external things cannot defile a person, contradicting the idea in Leviticus 14:48 where external conditions, like a house's condition, determine purity or impurity.

Mark 7:15: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Contradiction with Matthew 15:11

This implies that it is not what goes into the mouth or external factors that defile, contrasting with Leviticus 14:48 that treats physical signs of impurity in a house as defiling.

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 Romans 14:14

This verse declares that nothing is unclean in itself, opposing Leviticus 14:48 where material conditions of cleanliness and uncleanliness are judged.

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 Acts 10:15

Suggests what God has cleansed should not be called unclean, contrasting with the focus on ceremonial cleanliness in Leviticus 14:48.

Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
