Contradiction with Mark 7:15
Jesus states that nothing outside a person can defile them, contradicting the purification ritual in Numbers 19:10.
Mark 7:15: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Contradiction with Acts 10:15
God tells Peter that what He has made clean should not be called impure, opposing the detailed purity laws in Numbers 19:10.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Paradox #1
Numbers 19:10 discusses the purification procedures after handling a sacrificial offering, stating that anyone involved in the process must cleanse themselves. A potential contradiction might be seen in the emphasis on ritual purity, which could conflict with the New Testament teachings that focus more on internal moral and spiritual purity rather than ceremonial practices. This contrast might suggest inconsistency in the importance of outward rituals versus inner faith across different parts of the Bible.
