Contradiction with Matthew 9:13

Leviticus 23:27 emphasizes the observance of a strict fast and affliction of the soul on the Day of Atonement, whereas Matthew 9:13 emphasizes mercy over ritualistic sacrifices, reflecting a shift in emphasis from ritual law to compassion in the New Testament.

Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Paradox #1

Leviticus 23:27 refers to the Day of Atonement, a time for reflection, fasting, and atonement for sins. A possible contradiction could arise when comparing this with New Testament teachings that suggest faith in Jesus provides eternal atonement for sins. This could be seen as inconsistent because it raises questions about the continuing importance of ritual observances for atonement in light of newer teachings about salvation through faith.
