Jesus declares all foods clean, which contradicts the prohibition against eating anything that became unclean by contact in Leviticus 7:19.
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 not to call common what God has cleansed, suggesting a shift from the Levitical purity laws.
Acts 10:13-15: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul states that nothing is unclean in itself, which contradicts the notion of clean and unclean foods in Leviticus 7:19.
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]

1 Timothy 4:4-5: For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16-17
Paul advises against judgment concerning food and drink, implying freedom from the specific dietary laws like those in Leviticus.
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]
Paradox #1
Leviticus 7:19 talks about rules regarding cleanliness in food laws. A potential theological conflict arises when comparing these Old Testament food laws with New Testament teachings. In the New Testament, particularly in books like Acts and Romans, there's an indication that such dietary restrictions are no longer necessary for Christians. This shift can seem inconsistent to those reading the Bible as a single, unified text, leading to questions about whether certain Old Testament laws still apply.
