Reader, ...
1.) The bible is not a Novel. Its not pulp-fiction. Its not a news paper. Its not a dictionary.
It is the Final Authority that was leading the world to God before you were born, and after they bury you or cremate you, the Bible will still be here, leading the World to God, and showing the world their SIN and their Unrighteousness.
The Bible is living spiritual words that are revealed by the Spirit , and they must be "rightly divided", like this...
= "Spiritually Discerned".
To do this,.... = its 2 parts..
1.) You have to be spiritually born again, and that is not "water baptized"...
2.) You have to be trained (discipled) by someone who is able to "rightly divide".
3.) This Teacher has to be a devoted student of Paul's Theology, and if your "teacher" does not have this Theological core, then get another Teacher who does.
2.) The reason there are 200 Denominations in the USA and about 45,000 Denominations in the World, is often caused...by people who are not saved, who started a denomination. OR this situation is started by people who are saved, were taught terrible theology, and this became one more denomination, one more "christian cult".
Now......I have a REVELATION for you Reader..
A.) THERE are NO Denominations in Heaven
So, what is "right theology"? ???
A.). Its what Paul teaches as "sound doctrine".
And what does Paul teach?
He teaches the literal doctrine for the Body of Christ.
And where did He get it?
Paul said ""i learned it from no man"", but was taught by Jesus Himself. = Not only the Gospel, but the doctrine for the body of Christ.
Jesus said that Paul is a "Chosen Vessel"....That HE Selected, to be the deliverer of not onlyu the Gospel of the Grace of God, but, doctrine for the body of Christ.
This is why Paul wrote 13 Epistles.
What is Paul's Doctrine????
These for example, (some) are give by Paul as "doctrine" and as instruction in righteousness. They all come from PAUL the "apostle to the Gentiles" and we are in the "time of the Gentiles'.. right now, reader.

3.) So, let me show THE BORN AGAIN.... a few spiritual nuggets so that you can use these when trying to study the scriptures, so that you can receive their Light.
Reader.
The #1 reason that a born again believer is very Theologically confused, is because the person who taught them is the same...or worse.
And it can be that their teacher, that your teacher, who wrote the commentaries that you use instead of Paul's Epistles.... is not even a Christian, but is a "false minister of righteousness".
Now...Here is a nugget. = God's ministers and the Devil's ministers, both teach RIGHTEOUSNESS in commentaries, in Pulpits, On TV, and on "christian" forums, and online "christian" sites.
Note now the difference....
1.) God's ministers teach "the Righteousness of God" = that came from and through Christ on the Cross, and is THE "Gift of Righteousness" that you received by Faith.
2.) Satan's ministers, teach "SELF... righteousness".... They teach... "Do'ism"... "Self effort"... "commandment keeping".. "Law keeping".... and anything that has you trying to SELF PERFORM, to gain and maintain God's acceptance.
3.) God's Gospel is the Gospel of Grace. This is "The preaching of the Cross of Christ."
The Devil's Gospel is the Gospel of water and works.. in place of "The GIFT of Salvation"
God and God's Ministers want you to receive what Christ has finished for you on the Cross. = "the GIFT of Salvation"
4.) The Devil, and His Ministers want you to work for it and try to attain it, and try not to LOSE IT>... by SELF SELF SELF.... Effort.
And here is another more nugget for you..
4.) The #2 reason that a "Christian" is Theologically broken, faith ruined, and in the dark instead of walking in the Light, is because they do not and can not yet "rightly divide" the verses in the NT, most especially.
This means, that they do not have the developed spiritual "discernment" capacity to understand that some verses in the NT, are not for the Body of Christ as "Doctrine" or revelation.
So, when you dont understand this, you will read the bible as if all the verse are trying to get you do something or be something, and in fact, some of them are not even talking to you at all. Not directed to the born again.... at all.
Reader, those Apostles who wrote those NT epistles, were PREACHERS. And sometimes their verses are preaching or teaching UNBELIEVERS, often HEBREW unbelievers... Unsaved JEWS... (Hebrews).
And when you take one or some of those verses and apply it to yourself, then you have created such a confusion in your thinking and regarding your own FAITH and belief system, that it can be very difficult to find your way BACK from such a mental Theological stronghold.
Here is nugget #3.
All NEW TESTAMENT verses have to be viewed by the BELIEVER, in the LIGHT of the CROSS.
In the LIGHT>. .of The Cross..
This means, you have to read the verse and discern if it matches what God has done through Christ on the Cross, or if it seems to deny it, or reject it, or oppose it.
And when you find verses that do not Agree with The Grace of God, that is THE GIFT of Salvation,...... then these verses are not talking to the body of Christ, doctrinally.
And where are many of them found? ???????
They are usually found when JESUS is talking to the JEWS, before He is Crucified.. And on a few occasion, Jesus is speaking prophetically to the Apostles about the Trib/Grt Trib.
Sometimes those verses are found in 1 John, and also in some of Paul's epistle to the Hebrews.
So,.....READER.... always realize that Christ came to the House of Israel, before the Cross was raised...., and after the Cross was raised, He sent PAUL "the apostle to the Gentiles"... to give, to teach, what the Born again are to understand as "doctrine for the Body of CHRIST" "in the TIME of the Gentiles"....< that was not yet created, before Jesus was Crucified.
See that?
If you can get that revelation, then God can begin to show you the divisions in the NT, that are the "rightly dividing" that is the Spiritual Fruit that comes by "Study to show yourself approved unto God".....
Reader.....That is so very important for you to understand... as you have to read the NT, in LIGHT Of the Cross, understanding what i'm teaching you, or a cult that does not "rightly divide" the word of God, will have you completely deceived and you'll not know it, as that is how deception works..
See, if you KNEW you were deceived, (some of you)... then you would stop being Deceived......(those of you who are).
It can be that what im showing you, is going to now open your Spiritual Eyes., that have been closed by a deceiver or a Cult.
And, what im teaching you, is not "opinion".
Now, read these 2 partial verses, and decide to do it, or decide that you wont.., but you have to do what these 2 verses tell you, or you will never come into "all that be PERFECT" regarding your discipleship or your Theology.
1.) "Establish your heart with GRACE".... Hebrews 13:9
2.) Paul teaches.. "Be a follower of ME, as i follow Christ"... and that does not mean worship.....it means to learn HIS Doctrine, HIS Gospel, HIS Discipleship, and have it as your own. 1 Corinthians 11:1
