Contradiction with Matthew 5:17-18
Jesus states He came to fulfill the Law, suggesting the regulations in Leviticus are still relevant, rather than obsolete and requiring contradiction.
Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Contradiction with Acts 10:13-15
God tells Peter to not call anything impure that He has made clean, which contrasts Leviticus’ detailed impurity laws.
Acts 10:13-15: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13
Declares the old covenant obsolete with the establishment of the new covenant, conflicting with the continuance of Levitical laws.
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.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul claims nothing is unclean in itself, which contradicts the unclean status of discharge as outlined 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 Galatians 5:18
Asserts that those led by the Spirit are not under the law, challenging the Levitical regulations.
Galatians 5:18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict could arise from the fact that ancient cleanliness and purity laws, like the one in Leviticus 15:3, may seem outdated or irrelevant in modern times. These laws might conflict with contemporary views on personal health, hygiene, and bodily functions, where judgment or moral value isn't typically assigned to natural bodily processes.
