Send us a textIn this episode, we continue our discussion of rightly dividing the word of truth, God's word, understanding that it is inspired and within it, God has supplied all things that pertain to life and godliness. Consequently, we do not need to come up with our own ideas about the church, how to be saved, how to worship and what the church is and does. We noted that the church Jesus built, the church of Christ is not a denomination. We note Paul's warning to the elders of the local church in Ephesus about false teachers entering among them. We talk about what Jesus said about sincere people who thought they were following Him but were guilty of lawlessness. We also discuss how Jesus says one can come to the Father and what He says about the narrow gate and the wide way. We look at a couple of misconceptions some people have that are caused by taking scriptures out of context. So, we complete this portion of our study by again noting that we must follow God's word and only God's word. The problem that leads to denominations is people teaching what they think is good in their worship and serving God instead of what the Bible says. We move on specifically to discuss what it means to rightly divide the word of truth. We point out in this study that the Bible was written to different groups of people and different times in history. There are some general principles in some books of the Old Testament that are timeless in their applicability, but that is not true of all of the books. We talk about the 4 primary classifications contained in the Old Testament and what each of the 39 books are and not that the separation and classification of these books help us to rightly divide or correctly use them. We next move on to the New Testament, what the different books are and how they are divided. We note that there are three primary dispensations of time covered in the Bible. We discuss these. We close out this episode with Glenn reading Galatians three, verses 5 through 29 and run out of time before we can discuss those passages. We will begin our next episode with those scriptures and what they teach us. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.
