John 7:24: Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Contradiction with Mark 7:15

Mark 7:15: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
According to Leviticus 14:57, external factors can render something unclean, whereas Matthew 15:11 emphasizes that what comes from the heart can defile a person, indicating a focus on internal purity rather than external rituals.

Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Leviticus 14:57 delineates clean from unclean, yet Romans 14:14 suggests that nothing is unclean in itself, presenting a perspective that challenges the ritualistic distinction of the Old Testament.
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
Where Leviticus 14:57 categorizes impurities, Acts 10:15 declares that what God has cleansed should not be called common or unclean, showcasing a change in how purity is understood post-Christ.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
