Contradiction with Amos 5:21
God expresses hatred for, and refusal to accept, the feasts and offerings, which contradicts the specific offering details in Leviticus 7:12.
Amos 5:21: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:13-14
God expresses disdain for the rituals and appointed feasts, suggesting they are meaningless, which contradicts the prescription of offerings.
Isaiah 1:13-14: Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [iniquity: or, grief]
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
Jesus emphasizes mercy over sacrifice, implying that ritual offerings are not of primary importance, contradicting the offering instructions.
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.
Paradox #1
This verse is about giving thanks with a specific type of offering. A potential moral conflict could arise if someone sees ritualistic offerings as less important than genuine expressions of gratitude or helping others. They might feel that following a specific ritual doesn't reflect true thankfulness if actions toward others don't match.
