Contradiction with Hebrews 10:4
This verse states that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, which contradicts Leviticus 6:30's focus on blood sacrifices for sin.
Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Contradiction with Hebrews 9:12
This verse suggests that redemption is obtained through the blood of Christ, not animal sacrifices as outlined in Leviticus 6:30.
Hebrews 9:12: Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
This verse emphasizes mercy over sacrifice, contrasting with Leviticus 6:30 which pertains to sin offering prescriptions.
Matthew 9:13: But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11
This verse questions the value of animal sacrifices, which contradicts the presumed efficacy of sacrifices in Leviticus 6:30.
Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]
Contradiction with Hosea 6:6
This verse declares God's desire for mercy, not sacrifice, opposing the sacrificial system Leviticus 6:30 represents.
Hosea 6:6: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Contradiction with Psalm 40:6
This verse suggests God does not desire sacrifices and offerings, which challenges the principles seen in Leviticus 6:30.
Psalm 40:6: Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. [opened: Heb. digged]
Paradox #1
Leviticus 6:30 discusses regulations about sin offerings. A potential contradiction could arise when comparing this verse with other verses that discuss the forgiveness of sins, especially those that suggest different requirements or conditions for receiving forgiveness. If other parts of the Bible imply that forgiveness can be obtained through different means or do not mention the same stipulations, it might seem inconsistent. These differences might reflect evolving understandings of sin and atonement throughout biblical texts.
Paradox #2
Leviticus 6:30 might seem inconsistent with other parts of Scripture regarding the handling of sin offerings and their consumption. In some places, offerings are meant to be consumed by priests, while elsewhere, they are not, depending on specific conditions like the location and type of offering. This can look like a contradiction in the rules about sacrificial practices.
