Contradiction with Genesis 9:3
Leviticus 19:26 prohibits eating anything with blood, whereas Genesis 9:3 states every moving thing that lives shall be food for you.
Genesis 9:3: Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Contradiction with Acts 10:15
Leviticus 19:26 implies restrictions on consuming certain foods, yet Acts 10:15 declares that what God has cleansed should not be considered unclean.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Leviticus 19:26 includes dietary restrictions, but Romans 14:14 claims nothing is unclean in itself.
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]
Paradox #1
The verse can be seen as inconsistent when compared to other passages in the Bible where practices like drinking blood are mentioned, such as during the Last Supper in the New Testament where Jesus refers to the wine as his blood. This could appear contradictory to the prohibition against consuming blood.
Paradox #2
Leviticus 19:26 talks about not practicing divination or seeking omens. A possible contradiction or conflict here could be the presence of other biblical stories where signs are sought, like Gideon's fleece or the magi following the star to find Jesus. This could appear inconsistent because those accounts seem to involve signs or omens that are seemingly allowed or even guided by God.
Paradox #3
Leviticus 19:26 includes a prohibition against eating blood and practicing divination or fortune telling. The scientific view finds no health reason to avoid eating blood, and modern science does not support the effectiveness or accuracy of divination or fortune-telling. Therefore, the contradiction could be related to the lack of empirical evidence for the supernatural aspects of divination.
Paradox #4
This verse may present a contradiction for some because it prohibits certain practices that are still common and accepted in various cultures today, such as specific dietary practices and engaging in certain rituals. This can be seen as inconsistent with the everyday lives of people who follow different traditions or have differing beliefs, creating a conflict between religious teachings and cultural norms.
