Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
This verse suggests that Christians should not be judged on matters of religious festivals or new moons, contrasting with Psalms 81:3, which emphasizes celebrating such times.
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 Galatians 4:10
This verse criticizes the observance of days and seasons, which could contradict the celebratory and observational calls in Psalms 81:3.
Galatians 4:10: Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Contradiction with Amos 5:21-23
God expresses disdain for feasts and solemn assemblies, potentially conflicting with the celebratory tone of Psalms 81:3.
Amos 5:21-23: I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. [in...: or, your holy days]
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:13-14
This verse depicts God as weary of new moons and festivals, which contrasts the spirit of observance found in Psalms 81:3.
Isaiah 1:13-14: Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [iniquity: or, grief]
Contradiction with Hosea 2:11
God declares that He will put an end to all mirth, feasts, new moons, and sabbaths, contrasting the encouragement in Psalms 81:3 to observe such occasions.
Hosea 2:11: I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Paradox #1
Psalms 81:3 might lead to a contradiction or inconsistency due to its reference to the "new moon" and "full moon" in Jewish festival observance. Historically, the timing and manner of these observances may have changed or varied, leading to debates among scholars about the exact interpretation and application during different periods in Jewish history. However, such discussions often depend on interpretations and historical context, which may not always be clear or consistent.
