Rightly Dividing God's Word

[7angels]

you are right in one aspect of dividing the word. scripture explains scripture but there is more to studing and dividing the word. knowing hstory, punctuation, names, comparisons, and ect. for example there were no words in greek for many of the hebrew words to describe Christ and his resurrection so the writers of the new testament had to use greek words that symbolized what it was that they want to say. if you ever do an indepth study of where the christians of the time of Christ got their words to write the new testament and then take that meaning and apply it to the verse you come up with a better understanding of what the bible is saying. rick renner is a top scholar today of ancient greek if you ever want to see what it is i am referring too.

btw you left out an important part of the meaning. you left out the second verse completely. i am not going to go into the meaning here and now but you also forgot the beginning part of verse one. we need to look into the meaning of the whole verse and not pick and choose. looking at a meaning and deciphering the verse also requires us to put it all together to see how it all fits together. you did a good job but there is a lot that can be added to make deciphering the word even better. last but not least we need to know what God thinks of our interpretation of those verses. i hope this helps everyone in their studies.

Yep, most definitely agree with that too. No word in the Greek for Jehovah either, so the NT writers were forced to use Greek 'theos', the same Greek word the pagan Greeks called their multitude of gods. But God overcame all those problems when He covered a subject with many Scripture witnesses throughout all the Books of The Bible. That's another reason why it's so important to study all His Word with discipline.

Although the 2 Timothy 2:16 verse of course is to be heeded also, it's the opposite idea of verse 15. So I didn't include it with the topic of rightly dividing and becoming a workman in God's Word.

The Scriptures as they are written clearly show that the gospel given to Paul from Jesus was not a gospel in existance before Jesus gave it to Paul.

No one will rightly divide the word of God when they will not accept the word of God.

No where in Matt. Mark, Luke and John do we find that the Law of Moses has ended for the believer. Nor do we find Peter in the book of Acts telling the Jews, and others, that they no longer have to follow the Law of Moses.

Only in the teachings of Paul do we find these things. Paul said his gospel was hidden in God until it was given to him but many will not hear of it.

Tell me where you find the teaching in the two verses below in Matt. Mark, Luke, John and in Peter's word in the book of Acts.

Romans 5:9-11
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
NKJV

2 Corinthians 5:18-19
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
NKJV

You won't find it.

Which means you, because The Gospel was first preached to Abraham, like even Paul said in Galatians 3!

No where in Matt. Mark, Luke and John do we find that the Law of Moses has ended for the believer. Nor do we find Peter in the book of Acts telling the Jews, and others, that they no longer have to follow the Law of Moses.

God's laws have not ended for the believer on Christ Jesus either, and Apostle Paul taught that! Per Paul, the law did not die; instead, we... die to the law, by following Christ Jesus by walking in The Spirit (Galatians 5).

Only in the teachings of Paul do we find these things.

Paul NEVER taught that all of God's law was dead. That's a false interpretation of the doctrines of men, developed to cause those in Christ Jesus to think they can never fall away to walking by their flesh, a warning Paul gave in the Galatians 5 Scripture, that to do that is to not... inherit the Kingdom of God.

Paul said his gospel was hidden in God until it was given to him but many will not hear of it.

Paul taught that the same Gospel preached to Abraham which was to also go to believing Gentiles, and they would be graffed into God's Kingdom with faithful Israel (Rom.9-11; Galatians). The mystery he taught was that being manifest after Christ's death and resurrection. Although it was written of through God's Old Testament prophets like Isaiah, they and later Israel did not understand it.

Tell me where you find the teaching in the two verses below in Matt. Mark, Luke, John and in Peter's word in the book of Acts.

Romans 5:9-11
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Every one of these larger type words are FUTURE TENSE. For the slow that means it would happen in the future. It was to be a future event. But you will not see these words.

Your idea is false, and also NUTS!

It's clear that MANY Gentiles today have believed on Christ Jesus unto Salvation! And the Gentiles (heathen) being justified BY FAITH like faithful Abraham is exactly what the Scriptures I posted is about!!

Thanks for those kind words but the truth is stiil the truth.

Foreseeing-Beforehand-would justify
Galatians 3:6-8
6 just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed." NKJV
Note the words “foreseeing“, “would justify“, “beforehand“. They clearly indicate that faith was not instituted at that time. It was a promise to be a future event.

Other wise why put these words in the scripture.
