Rightly Divide?

[eph3Nine]

Since Paul, believing jews and gentiles are part of ONE Body....but in times PAST, and ages to COME, when God is again dealing with the Nation Israel....they were NOT. The Body of Christ is UNIQUELY "Pauline Doctrine"....NO body of Christ was discussed or in existance before God revealed this portion of the MYSTERY truths TO Paul for US.

They are part of the UNION of ALL believers IN Christ, but NOT part of the Church which is His Body as referred to by Paul alone. They, jews saved before Paul and in ages to Come will be reigning and ruling in a different sphere...they on earth, and WE, the Body of Christ/the MYSTERY Body...will be ruling in the heavenlies.

To all who have been "accepted in the Beloved",

When we "rightly" divide God's Word, the Holy Spirit will guide and teach us all that we need to know while we are on this earth. We are in the world but not of the world. Seek God's approval and not man's.

For me personally, there is much more to "rightly dividing the word of truth" than dispensations...there are studies in Scripture on the 2 natures of the child of God (flesh vs. spirit), law and grace, interpretation and application, Divine names and titles, the King & Kingdom message, the body of Christ message...etc., etc.,...

God's Word is inexhaustible---all thanks, praise, and glory are His for revealing to us, His creation, what He loves, what He hates, and what He does!!! To know Him more is to love Him more and to love Him more is to know Him more.

Thanks for starting this thread on 2Tim.2:15...God's Word can ONLY be "rightly" understood when it is "rightly" divided.

Keep your eyes on Christ and behold His glory!!!

Amen, foundinHim.

Most professing believers WANT to cooperate with God but "cant" as they dont know what program He is IN today! Right division clears that problem up and MORE. We are always to study the scriptures thru the lense of the most recent revelation given to mankind from God. Pauls epistles are that revelation and they COMPLETE the Word of God.

So glad to have you here. What part of the country are yu in? Do you have a grace church you attend in your area?

Here where we live there are 131 churches and NOT a one of them rightly divides. And we are in the BIBLE BELT...LOL. So if you have a grace church near you, consider yourself fortunate.

dear eph3Nine,

I am from Missouri and at this present time, I do not have a local congregation/assembly to fellowship with or grow in grace and knowledge of Him...but, I am still hoping and praying that God leads me to where He wants me to be.

Where are you from? I'm glad to be here too.

I am originally from California, but have been in the beautiful state of Tennessee for the last eleven years. There are some grace churches here, but not close enough to be convenient. Closest one an hour and a half ONE WAY and we went there for awhile until the cost of gas became prohibitive. So...our only fellowship is here on the internet, which is fine. We have made some strong friendships online with folks we have met on here.

The paltalk ministry is a real godsend. My friend Jeaniebeanie will be sharing with you tonite about another room that has just opened on Paltalk on Monday nites, where they are going thru the basics of right division. It should be a good one and we are looking forward to offering our support.

I look forward to seeing you tonite...go in early so we can chat before the lesson begins...I will be there at 6:45 PM.

Yer sis in Him
