Lessons

The lesson on November 11, 2018 was part 4 of the “My Gospel” study.  This lesson again wraps up the three references the Apostle Paul made to his gospel.  Wayne took time to explain in his own life how he became a christian and the journey he went through starting from an Acts 2 position then eventually moving to a Mid-Acts view because he found that C.R. Stam was teaching that the church didn’t begin until Saul became Paul in Acts 9-13 and was sent to the Gentiles.  Stam taught that all of Paul’s 14 books were for our calling.  Later as Wayne studied Paul’s books, he come to the teaching of Welsh who taught him to rightly divide Paul’s ministries, because in fact he had two, one before Acts 28 which includes 7 books of the Bible (Romans, Galatians, 1 & 2 Corinthians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians and Hebrews) and one after Acts 28 (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Titus, Philemon, 1 & 2 Timothy).  Paul’s My Gospel was part of his first ministry letting Christians know that they would be judged by this gospel because they are all kindred to Adam and original sin which included a mystery where Christ sacrifice would pay the price which was hidden in the prophets and took an inspired Apostle to point this out.  Then when PAul was writing in his last book 2 Timothy before he died, where he was reorienting Timothy to the fact that My Gospel now included The Mystery which was hidden before the foundation of the world.  The scripture reading was from 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 KJV

“14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
