from Rethink Faith with Nelson Jackson III · host Nelson Jackson III

Can you be 100% theologically correct and still sin in how you deliver that truth?According to Paul in 1 Corinthians 8—absolutely.In this episode, Nelson breaks down one of the most overlooked and misunderstood passages in Scripture: Paul's warning that when you wound someone's weak conscience while "speaking truth," you don't just hurt them—you sin against Christ Himself.This isn't about being soft on sin.This is about being honest about how we've weaponized Scripture and called it faithfulness.We explore:• Why "knowledge puffs up, but love builds up" is the foundation for all biblical correction• What Paul means by a "weak conscience" and why it matters• How church hurt often starts with leaders who use knowledge as a weapon• The difference between conviction and condemnation• How to identify spiritual abuse vs. biblical correction• Why spiritual maturity is measured by what you're willing to lay down, not defend• What to do if you've been wounded by "truth-tellers"• What to do if YOU've been the one wounding othersKey Scripture: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13, Galatians 6:1, James 3:1This episode is for:→ Anyone who's been wounded by someone "just preaching truth"→ Pastors and leaders who need to hear Paul's warning→ Anyone who's valued being right over being loving→ People navigating church hurt and spiritual abuseKnowledge puffs up. Love builds up.That's not an opinion.
