Does the Bible Have CONTRADICTIONS!? (Pastors EXPLAIN) | Live Free with Josh Howerton

Does the Bible contradict itself? What should you do when someone points to two passages that seem impossible to reconcile?

Pastors Carlos and Paul tackle one of the biggest questions Christians and skeptics ask about Scripture. Starting in 2 Timothy 3, they unpack what Christians actually mean when they say the Bible is inspired and trustworthy—and then put those claims to the test.

From different Gospel accounts and genealogies to faith versus works and supposed scientific errors, this conversation offers a practical framework for approaching difficult passages without ignoring honest questions.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why the Bible should shape how we see the world

What “God-breathed” Scripture actually means

The difference between a contradiction and a difference

How context, audience, genre, and authorial intent affect interpretation

How to approach alleged numerical, historical, chronological, theological, and scientific contradictions

Why Paul and James don't contradict each other on faith and works

What to do when difficult questions begin shaking your confidence

Why Scripture is meant to transform you—not simply inform you
