Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse says that it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out, focusing on words and actions rather than ritual cleanliness.
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
Declares that nothing is unclean in itself, which challenges the idea of impurity associated with certain conditions in Leviticus.
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 Mark 7:18-19
Jesus teaches that all food is clean, indicating a shift away from the purity laws found in Leviticus.

Contradiction with Acts 10:15
God tells Peter that what He has cleansed should not be called unclean, suggesting a new understanding of cleanliness.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17
Advises against being judged on matters of food and drink or ceremonial days, pointing to a move beyond Old Testament ritual laws.
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]
Paradox #1
The scientific conflict could be related to the understanding of menstrual cycles and purity. In Leviticus, a woman is considered impure and must undergo purification after her menstrual period. Modern science views menstruation as a natural biological process with no inherent impurity.
