Paradox #1

Leviticus 7:27 states that any person who eats blood will be cut off from their people. A potential contradiction or inconsistency could arise from the practice of eating blood in some cultures, both ancient and modern, without any apparent divine punishment or social exclusion, suggesting that this rule was not universally applied or enforced.

Paradox #2

The contradiction or conflict in this verse could arise from the strict dietary laws it enforces, which might clash with the belief in personal freedom or differing cultural practices. Imposing such strict regulations on consumption may seem inconsistent with the broader message of love and acceptance.
