Contradictions (1)

Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.

  • Should you be baptized?

    Matthew 28:19 places baptism at the center of the risen Jesus' Great Commission to the eleven — go, make disciples, baptize them in the triune name. Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:14, 17 says the opposite about his own mission — he thanks God he baptized almost no one in Corinth, and flatly states that Christ did not send him to baptize but to preach the gospel.

    Critical scholarship: Leans toward a genuine contradiction.
