( 2 Timothy 2:15)? Precious friends, please consider, if you will, this "VERY Brief" Intro!:
"Prophecy/Law" {earthly} Christ And The TWELVE apostles, gospel of the kingdom, ISRAEL prominent {past/future} - Question: Is This "God's pattern" for us today? Or:
Rightly Divided ( 2 Timothy 2:15) From "Things That DIFFER!":
"Mystery/GRACE!" {Heavenly!} Gospel Of GRACE, Jew And Gentile "Equal!" {Current, Today!} for The Body Of CHRIST! CHRIST, And ONE apostle TO THE GENTILES!
Is this our Godly "Pattern to follow!" ( 1 Timothy 1:16) compare: ( 1 Corinthians 4:16) ( 1 Corinthians 11:1)?
Please be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, and Edified, on your journey "Approved Unto God!" Amen?
