Contradiction with Exodus 20:8
This verse commands the keeping of the Sabbath holy, aligning with Nehemiah 13:17's call for observing the Sabbath, which could be seen as contradictory if interpreted as allowing for work or other activities, depending on context.
Exodus 20:8: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Contradiction with Mark 2:27
This verse indicates the Sabbath was made for man's benefit, which could be seen as in tension with Nehemiah 13:17's strict observance, suggesting a more flexible approach to Sabbath rules.
Mark 2:27: And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
This verse suggests not to judge others regarding Sabbath days, which could contradict Nehemiah 13:17's approach of rebuking those who profane the Sabbath, promoting a more lenient view.
Colossians 2:16: 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]
Contradiction with Romans 14:5
Here, Paul speaks of individuals regarding one day above another or every day alike. It suggests personal conviction over strict Sabbath observance and contrasts with Nehemiah 13:17's strict enforcement.
Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
Contradiction with Matthew 12:8
Jesus’s statement that He is "Lord of the Sabbath" can be seen as offering authority to override traditional Sabbath laws, potentially at odds with Nehemiah 13:17’s emphasis on strict observance.
Matthew 12:8: For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
