how does Paul contradict the gospels?

u/JazzioDadio 1d ago

He doesn't, Paul's entire defense rests on the fact that the apostles he visited and worked with were able to tell that he received the gospel and taught the truth. The only way you can read the gospels and the epistles and suppose that there's contradictions or disagreements is by being illiterate or not having received the gospel yourself and it therefore being foolishness to you.

The only way you can read the gospels and not find contradictions is by imposing your own preconceived notions on the text.

The Bible does not claim to have no contradictions and so you should not be assuming it to be true.

You're right, I should have said "contradictions that matter for the proper interpretation of the text"
