I would like to take this time to give thanks for all the
wonderful blessings we have received from the Lord of Glory, the Lord Jesus
Christ in 2016.
As we enter this New Year 2017, I pray that we as Christians might
once again become a mighty force in this world to win the lost and dying to the
Lord Jesus!
Our
number one desire for these Bible lessons are for them to be understandable,
defendable, and for the Holy Spirit to bear witness that the conclusions are
the true, and correct interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
Guidelines
for our Bible studies on this website:
1. We treat the living words of the
living God as spoken by the Lord Jesus and given to the Apostle Paul for the
Body of Christ the same importance, as
the words of the Lord Jesus recorded in red
letters in the books of Matthew – Acts Chp. 8, as what should be known as the
instructions to the nation Israel.
2. We will not be wresting the scriptures
against each other, we will look at the verses in their context, and will not
try to make the scriptures say anything, but what they say.
3. We will be using the verses out of the
Authorized Version, commonly known as the KJV. It is fine if you want to look
the verses up in other translations if you like, but we will consider the
Authorized Version as our final written authority.
4. We do not and will not use the Greek,
Hebrew, Aramaic, or Latin languages to prove any points, or give any indication
that the Authorized Version has been incorrectly translated.
I
hope these studies are interesting enough to provoke you to study your Bible
and for you to grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We
will resume our lessons on Unlearning Unsound Doctrine after the New Year
Holiday.
I thought it would be appropriate as we begin this New Year to
look at all the places that the Lord Jesus, speaking though our Apostle (Paul),
used the word “new” when speaking to the Body of Christ.
What I found, the word new is used in 11 verses in the Pauline
epistles, and are a great summary of becoming a Christian, living the Christian
life, serving as ministers of the Lord Jesus, as well as remembering the Lord
Jesus and what he did for us.
Jesus through the Apostle Paul says that we “put on the new man”, that we become “a new creature in Christ”, and that “all things become new”.
The Apostle Paul continues that we “should
walk in newness of life” and as such “we should serve in newness of spirit”, because he “hath made
us able ministers of the new testament”!
To finalize we are to remember the Lord Jesus, and what he has
done for us, every time we partake of the Lord’s Supper we remember him who
died for us, “this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in
remembrance of me. This cup is the new testament in my blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me.”
I have included the 11 verses and recommend that you go to each
epistle and read the verses to get the full context of each passage. This will
greatly help you in becoming the best Christian minister/witness of Jesus that
you can be.
Rom.6 [4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom.7 [6] But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead
wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in
the oldness of the letter.
1Cor.5 [7] Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may
be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is
sacrificed for us:
1Cor.11 [23] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered
unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same
night in which he was betrayed took bread: [24] And when he had given thanks,
he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this
is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my
blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
2Cor.3 [6] Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter
killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2Cor.5 [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is
a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
Gal.6 [15] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth
anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new
creature.
Eph.2 [15] Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law
of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one
new man, so making peace;
Eph.4 [24] And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Col.2 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the
sabbath days:
Col.3 [10] And have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
The Lord has brought many new people into our lives in 2016, all
younger than myself and Theresa, and has allowed us to minister and share with
them Paul’s message for the Body of Christ, as given to him by the Lord Jesus.
If you are new to this website, you should know it is dedicated to
the study of God’s Holy Word rightly divided, and “the preaching of Jesus
Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since
the world began,” as
given to the Apostle Paul.
Romans 16 [24] The grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen. [25] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world
began, [26] But now is made manifest, and
by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the
everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: [27] To
God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
This website is not affiliated with any particular denomination,
and only seeks to help young Christians, and mature Christians alike, to be
edified, equipped to be soul winners, and to stand against the wiles of Satan.
2Tim.3 [14] But
continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
[15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is
in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
I am glad and thankful that the Lord Jesus has provided us a Bible
(KJV) in the English language that is without error. My trust in the Authorized
Version’s accuracy has only grown over the years of study, which has
greatly helped me in my ability to witness for him, and share his holy word
with believers, as well as the lost.
As Paul told Timothy to continue, I encourage all my Christian
friends to continue in the study of God’s word. I encourage you not to be
discouraged when oppression comes, or if you lose friends over your stand for
the Lord Jesus, stand strong and keep the faith.
Philippians [4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,
Rejoice. [5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The
Lord is at hand. [6] Be careful for nothing; but
in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God. [7] And the peace of
God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Just a quick update on the website that so many of you pray for
and help us with. As we approach being online 18 months we are fast approaching
10000 visits, at the time of this writing we are at 9,835.
I just stand amazed at the wonderful way that the Lord Jesus has worked in our lives, I give him thanks for my family, and friends daily.
We continue to add to our
reach into other lands, we are now up to 74 countries as we added 32 additional
in 2016.
As we approach this new year we are looking for new ways to get
the word out, please continue your prayers for us.
Also, if you would like to become a fellow worker with us please
email us.
We are more dedicated than ever to help people understand Pauline
doctrine for the body of Christ, and to help young Christians grow and be built
up in their faith, and to equip them to win others to the Lord Jesus.
Hopefully this study and the future studies will provoke you to
become a more dedicated, and consecrated Christian, who will study and become a
strong witness for the Lord Jesus in this upcoming year.
I encourage you to not just mention that Jesus was born but most
of all to share with your friends, loved ones, and anyone else that you come
into contact with that, Jesus died for their sins, was buried, and rose again
and in Jesus they can have eternal life.
All of the confusion among Christianity/Christians today can be
attributed to the simple fact that the church, the Body of Christ, does not
recognize the separate, distinct, and unique apostleship, ministry, and message
of the apostle to the gentiles the Apostle Paul.
If you fail to understand, or fail to learn how to rightly divide
the word of truth, you can never come to the knowledge of the truth, and sound
doctrine.
If you have never trusted the Lord Jesus as your savior, I
encourage you to believe in him and invite him to save you today! All one needs
to do is to trust and believe in the Lord Jesus’s death, burial and
resurrection for the forgiveness of sins to be made new in him.
Gal.2 [16] Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but
by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that
we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by
the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be
justified
Eph.3 [17] That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [19] And to know the love
of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God.
The words of our Apostle Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles!
2Tim.2 [15] Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
Come join with us as we study God’s Holy Word!
Remember most unsound Bible Doctrine, is sound Bible Doctrine
