Contradiction with Acts 10:15
This verse suggests that God has made all things clean, contradicting the prohibition in Leviticus 7:24 regarding eating fat.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse states that what goes into the mouth does not defile a person, in contrast to the dietary restriction in Leviticus 7:24.
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 Mark 7:18-19
These verses declare all foods clean, opposing the specific dietary rule in Leviticus 7:24 about consuming fat.
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 Romans 14:14
This verse expresses that nothing is unclean in itself, contradicting the restriction of eating fat in Leviticus 7:24.
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 Corinthians 8:8
This verse emphasizes that food does not bring us closer to God, contradicting the idea of dietary rules like those in Leviticus 7:24 affecting our standing with God.
1 Corinthians 8:8: But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. [are we the better: or, have we the more] [are we the worse: or, have we the less]
Paradox #1
Leviticus 7:24 talks about the rule against eating certain fats. A potential contradiction might arise when considering other parts of the Bible where dietary laws are relaxed, such as in the New Testament, where Jesus declares all foods clean (Mark 7:18-19). This could create an inconsistency between the Old Testament dietary laws and New Testament teachings on food.
