Q&A with Pastor Charlie
Does Paul Contradict Jesus?

In 1 Corinthians, Paul says that eating food sacrificed to idols isn’t inherently sinful. Yet in Revelation 2, Jesus rebukes churches for participating in that very practice. Does this mean Paul is at odds with Christ?
In this episode, Pastor Charlie unpacks why apparent contradictions in Scripture often come down to context, not error. Exploring the early church in Acts and comparing Paul’s teachings with passages in James and Romans, he shows how different audiences and situations clarify what the Bible is really saying. We also examine why Paul’s writings spark debate today, how misinterpretation fuels confusion, and why reading Scripture in context matters.
If you’ve ever wrestled with Paul’s letters or wondered how the Bible fits together, this episode will help you understand Scripture with greater confidence and clarity.
