Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19

Jesus declares all foods clean, which contradicts the specific dietary restrictions and practices involving sacrifices in Leviticus.

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 in a vision to kill and eat unclean animals, indicating a shift away from Levitical food 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 no food is unclean in itself, opposing the specific rules about sacrifices and portions for priests outlined in Leviticus.

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 Colossians 2:16-17

Paul argues against judgment based on dietary laws, which contradicts the importance of such laws, including the ones about sacrifices, 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

The contradiction or inconsistency might arise from differences in interpretations or practices concerning priestly duties and the allocation of sacrificial offerings among the priests in ancient times. Different groups or traditions might have had varying understandings, leading to conflicts about authority and religious rituals.

Paradox #2

The contradiction or conflict in that verse could relate to the idea of fairness and equal distribution. It specifies that a certain part of a sacrificial animal is to be given to a particular person, which might seem unfair or inconsistent with the broader idea of equality or sharing among all people. This could raise questions about why certain individuals are given special portions or privileges based on their roles or status.
