Ep. 1111: Does the Apostle Paul Contradict Himself? (Part I): Contradiction Series

The Apostle Paul is a Christian icon.  He essentially wrote half of the New Testament as he carried the gospel far and wide.  He suffered dramatically for his faith, was challenged regularly by those in authority and even stood up to the Apostle Peter when it was needed.  When you read his words, you cannot help but see his love for God and undying devotion to Jesus.  With all of the good he did, there are many who 2,000 years later claim he was a self-absorbed, self-contradictory man.  They make lists of the things he said and wrote and seem to relish in his apparent instability.  Did the Apostle Paul contradict himself?  Did he say different things to different people just to gain their favor?  The only way to find out is to examine the accusations one at a time!
