The Word of Truth for Today 23

By Joseph L. Watkins

In our last paper we were encouraging our readers to divide the word as rightly and as simply as we can, always keeping each of God's many messages unmixed and sanctified unto itself. To do this one must first identify each message and to whom it was given. We noted that all Scripture is out of God, and all was given to be profitable, but the enemy seeks to make it unprofitable by the intermixing of God's messages; we seek to make it profitable.

The Word of Truth for Today 22

By Joseph L. Watkins

All Scripture is given by - "Inspiration of God, and- "Is Profitable." Yes, the one Spirit of Truth has given mankind all The Bible, and all of it was given to "profit" all man - not one word of it was intended to be unprofitable, for even one man, - yet, the sad response of man, has been most regrettable, oh, yes a precious few, percentage wise have profited much, some even having received "life" in Christ Jesus, and the sure hope of living in "Resurrection" on the "New Earth", and some men have even gained the Lord's favor and are to rule and reign with Him in The Messianic Kingdom, and some, having answered the Lord's calling unto a position and a portion in the Holy City New Jerusalem have profited greatly.

The Word of Truth for Today 20

By Joseph L. Watkins

Our lesson is Right Division, but we are trying to justify our enjoining parts of Holy Scripture this time. For us to refer to Paul's seven post-Acts epistles as "Paul's Book" is a bit of a stretch, I must admit, however I see those Seven-asONE.  I might have called them Paul's paper, that would make them one, but we find far too many different subjects in them to use that term. I have at times called them Paul's message, but again they contain much more then one single message, and they are also addressing more than one single audience, or group. I first considered "book" for seven different epistles or chapters bring into view a book, and folks would not expect each chapter to be covering the same ground over and over.

By Michael S. Mecikalski

This descriptive Greek phrase used by the Holy Spirit through the "instrument" of the Apostle Paul, is found only five times throughout ALL the New Testament Scriptures; ALL occurrences are found ONLY in the epistle of Ephesians. This fact alone should prompt any serious, mature son of God to immediately take notice.
