Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises against judgment, while Leviticus 24:12 involves placing a person under watch for judgment.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with James 2:13
This verse emphasizes mercy triumphing over judgment, conflicting with Leviticus 24:12's implication of awaiting judgment.
James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. [rejoiceth: or, glorieth]
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
Leviticus 24:12 implies human execution of justice, whereas this verse instructs to leave vengeance to God.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with John 8:7
Here, Jesus advocates for self-reflection over judging others, which contrasts with the purpose of holding someone in custody in Leviticus 24:12.
John 8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Paradox #1
Leviticus 24:12 describes holding someone in custody until God's will is made clear. The moral conflict here could be the issue of fairness and justice. Holding someone without clarity on laws or rules may seem unjust, as it denies the person a clear understanding of potential consequences for their actions. This can conflict with modern views on legal fairness and due process.
