Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
Matthew 15:11 suggests that it is not what enters the mouth that defiles a person, contradicting the emphasis on the priests consuming offerings in Leviticus 6:16.
Matthew 15:11: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:4
Hebrews 10:4 states that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, contrasting the Leviticus focus on offerings for atonement.
Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17
These verses suggest that dietary laws are a shadow of things to come, which can contradict Leviticus 6:16's detailed regulations.
Colossians 2:16-17: 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 Acts 10:15
This verse states that what God has cleansed should not be called common, implying freedom from old dietary laws.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency could lie in the fact that this verse, like others in Leviticus, deals with specific rituals and offerings that are part of Old Testament law, which may seem at odds with New Testament teachings emphasizing faith and grace over ritual. This presents a conflict for some believers in interpreting how or if these laws should apply today.
