Contradiction with Hebrews 10:4

This verse states that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, contrasting with the notion of God accepting animal sacrifices in Psalms 50:13.

Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Contradiction with Leviticus 1:9

This verse describes a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, suggesting that God accepts and is pleased by sacrifices, which contradicts the implication in Psalms 50:13 that God does not need sacrifices.

Leviticus 1:9: But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

Contradiction with Isaiah 1:11

Here, God expresses disinterest in the multitude of sacrifices brought to Him, which contradicts the idea in Psalms 50:13 of God needing sacrifices for sustenance.

Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. [he goats: Heb. great he goats]

Paradox #1

Psalm 50:13 might seem to contradict the idea that God requires or takes pleasure in offerings of food or sacrifices, as other parts of the Bible emphasize the importance of sacrifices. This could create confusion about God's needs or desires concerning sacrifices. However, upon deeper interpretation, it aligns with the concept that God values obedience and a sincere heart over ritualistic offerings.
