Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
This verse suggests not to let anyone judge you regarding Sabbath days, implying flexibility contrary to Leviticus 23:3’s strict observance.
Colossians 2:16: 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]
Contradiction with Romans 14:5
It emphasizes that each person should be convinced in their own mind about which day to observe, contradicting the fixed Sabbath rest in Leviticus 23:3.
Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
Contradiction with John 5:16-18
Jesus' healing on the Sabbath and saying He is working as His Father is emphasizes a reinterpretation of Sabbath law, challenging the strict rest command in Leviticus 23:3.
John 5:16-18: And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
Contradiction with Matthew 12:1-8
Jesus' disciples plucked grain on the Sabbath and Jesus justified it, suggesting a different understanding of Sabbath observance than Leviticus 23:3 prescribes.
Matthew 12:1-8: At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 23:3 discusses the Sabbath day as a day of rest. A contradiction or conflict might arise in how different religious groups or denominations have interpreted the day of the Sabbath. For example, some groups observe it on Saturday, while others observe it on Sunday. This inconsistency in practice among various faith communities can create differing interpretations of religious rules.
