Publisher's Synopsis
An inquisitive look at what saith the scripture. Encouraging the practice of "rightly dividing the word of truth" 2 Timothy 2:15. Not all scripture is written to us but all scripture is written for us; "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
A closer look at forgiveness and where it is at. Understanding that there is only one baptism; "one Lord, one faith, one baptism," Ephesians 4:5. Is that baptism physical or spiritual? What was the purpose of "Italics", why were they used and more importantly why are they in most current day versions removed? The consideration of "born again" or "in Christ" in this "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: " Ephesians 3:2.
Learning what "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2, is about and not to get sidetracked: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry." 2 Timothy 4:3-5.
Why Paul? "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Romans 2:16. Paul is the Apostle of Christ "For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: " Romans 11:13
Learn these and other truths by knowing "What saith the Scripture"
