Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
It contradicts by implying that external rituals and physical impurities do not defile a person, but rather what comes from the heart.
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
It challenges the concept of ritual cleanliness in Leviticus by emphasizing that impurity stems from within rather than external sources.
Mark 7:15: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
This verse suggests that no food or action is unclean in itself, countering the notion of ritual impurity.
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
God's declaration to Peter that what He has cleansed should not be called common, contradicts prescribed rituals for cleansing in Leviticus.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:1
Argues against the effectiveness of ritualistic old law, suggesting a new covenant, thereby contradicting the emphasis on purification rituals in Leviticus.
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.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 15:14 involves rituals that may seem inconsistent with modern practices and understanding. The instructions were specific to ancient Israelite culture and religious practices, which can be seen as contradictory to contemporary religious or cultural norms. Additionally, historical records outside the Bible do not always confirm the specifics of such rituals, leading to potential historical inconsistencies.
