According to Moses, God told the people that every 50 years, everyone should get back their things and land that they had to give away or sell. It was a special year called the Jubilee, and it helped people have a fresh start.

Leviticus 25:13: In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:42

Leviticus 25:13 emphasizes returning property in the Jubilee year, suggesting periodic redistribution, while Matthew 5:42 encourages giving, which may mean relinquishing property voluntarily, without periodic resetting.

Matthew 5:42: Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Contradiction with Acts 5:4

Leviticus 25:13 specifies returning property during the Jubilee, implying property rights can be reset, while Acts 5:4 supports individual ownership without mandated redistribution.

Acts 5:4: Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Contradiction with Luke 6:30

Leviticus 25:13 involves returning property to its original owner, a systematic process, but Luke 6:30 suggests giving to anyone who asks, which doesn't consider ownership cycles.

Luke 6:30: Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask [them] not again.

Paradox #1
