Consider Paul and You Will Get Understanding

Paul says: 2 Tim 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Here are just a few tings that your will straightened out by considering all tings by first.

You will get understanding in:

1. The mystery of Christ - Romans

2. The mystery of the church, which is his body - Ephesians

3. Justification – Romans and Ephesians

4. Eternal security – Romans, Ephesians, Colossians

5. Water baptism - Ephesians

6. The mystery of how the church gets out of here – Ephesians and Colossians

7. Local church – Ephesians, I & II Timothy

8. Right division – II Timothy

9. The mysteries – Romans-Colossians

10. The purpose of scripture – II Tim. 3:16

11. The purpose of the body of Christ – Ephesians

12. The purpose of civil government – Rom. 13

13. The order within the family unit – Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3

14. Forgiveness – Ephesians

15. Prayer – Philippians 4 – I Timothy

16. Faithfulness – Ephesians

17. Israel – Romans 9-11

18. The offices of the local church – I Timothy and Titus

19. Money – I Timothy

20. Witnessing – II Corinthians – Romans

21. The gap in Genesis 1– I Cor. 4:3-6

Now, look at the above subjects – you wonder why modern Christianity is in such disarray? The saints read Paul but they don’t consider the scriptures in light of what Paul was given by the Lord. One of the most damning things in modern Christianity was to put the “words of Christ” in red for this has led many to believe that the words of Paul are secondary and to some not even scripture.

You know what I believe people don’t consider Paul?

1. You just can’t read Paul – you have to study and who wants to study these days – they want it quick and easy.

2. Paul kicks all those sacred cows of Christianity.

3. Paul does away with man-centered Christianity.

4. Paul seeks to put people’s minds on heavenly things when saints’ minds are obsessed with earthly things and like to stay there.

5. People strips away all your gifts and makes you personally accountable to live the Christian life without any excuses i.e. “I don’t have this gift so I can’t do this.”

For those of you who will take me to task and say that I don't read or believe all the scriptures then all I can say to you is hold your ears while I laugh.

Ya’ll have a nice day now!
