Contradiction with Exodus 12:14
This verse establishes the Passover as an everlasting ordinance for Israel, while Luke 22:19 introduces a new covenant through the breaking of bread, suggesting a shift from the traditional Passover to the Lord's Supper.
Exodus 12:14: And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:10
This verse states that we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all, contradicting the idea of continually doing the breaking of bread in remembrance.
Hebrews 10:10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
Contradiction with John 6:53
Jesus says unless you eat His flesh and drink His blood, you have no life, implying that the act is necessary for life, whereas Luke 22:19 frames it as remembrance.
John 6:53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 5:7
This verse refers to Christ as our Passover who is sacrificed for us, emphasizing the sacrificial aspect rather than the remembrance aspect found in Luke 22:19.
1 Corinthians 5:7: Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: [is sacrificed; or, is slain]
Contradiction with Matthew 9:13
The emphasis is on mercy and not sacrifice, contradicting the idea of the sacramental remembrance of the sacrifice in Luke 22:19.
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
One potential contradiction with Luke 22:19 could arise from debates about the nature of the Eucharist or Communion. Specifically, different Christian denominations interpret Jesus' words about his body differently. Some believe in transubstantiation, where the bread literally becomes Jesus' body, while others see it as symbolic. This difference in interpretation can lead to theological conflicts about the meaning and significance of this practice.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Luke 22:19 might revolve around the question of ritual versus sincere action. Some people might see a conflict between participating in religious rituals with genuine intention versus doing them just because it’s tradition or habit. If someone engages in the ritual without a heartfelt connection or understanding, it could be viewed as inconsistent with the deeper moral teachings of the faith.
