Contradiction with Matthew 5:17
Jesus states he came to fulfill the law, which can be seen as transcending the ceremonial laws like those in Leviticus, including the specific purification rituals.
Matthew 5:17: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Contradiction with Galatians 5:4
Paul speaks of being estranged from Christ if one seeks justification by the law, implying a move away from the ritualistic laws found in Leviticus.
Galatians 5:4: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Contradiction with Romans 10:4
Christ is described as the end of the law for righteousness, suggesting that adherence to old rituals such as those in Leviticus is no longer necessary.
Romans 10:4: For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17
Emphasizes that religious rituals, like those in Leviticus, are only a shadow of what was to come in Christ, thus they are not binding on believers.
Colossians 2:16-17: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: [in meat...: or, for eating and drinking] [respect: or, part]
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13
Declares the old covenant obsolete, suggesting the Levitical laws no longer apply under the new covenant initiated by Christ.
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 14:9 speaks about purification rituals, specifically actions to be taken by someone who is being cleansed from a skin disease. A potential theological conflict might arise when comparing these rituals with New Testament teachings. In the New Testament, particularly through the teachings of Jesus and Paul, there is an emphasis on inner faith and belief rather than external rituals for spiritual purity. This contrast can be seen as a shift from the Old Testament focus on physical acts to a New Testament focus on inner spiritual transformation.
