Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
Jesus declared all foods clean, contradicting dietary restrictions implied by prohibitions in Leviticus like the fat offering.
Mark 7:18-19: Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Contradiction with Acts 10:13-15
Peter is told by God to eat all kinds of animals, indicating a new covenant that contradicts the selective eating practices in Leviticus.
Acts 10:13-15: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul states that no food is unclean in itself, opposing the specific offerings and restrictions of Leviticus.
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]
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 4:3-4
Paul argues all foods are to be received with thanksgiving, challenging the dietary limitations of Leviticus.
1 Timothy 4:3-4: Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:8-10
Emphasizes Christ's sacrifice obsoletes previous offerings and rituals, including those described in Leviticus.
Hebrews 10:8-10: Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law;
Paradox #1
Leviticus 3:16 talks about offering fat to God as a pleasing aroma. The potential contradiction might be that later parts of the Bible, like in the New Testament, emphasize spiritual sacrifices rather than physical ones, suggesting a shift in how devotion is expressed. This could be seen as an inconsistency in worship practices over time.
