WHY SHOULD WE FOLLOW THE APOSTLE PAUL?

From Genesis to Revelation is for our learning, "NOT ALL" Scripture is written to us, us = the
Body of Christ in this Age of Grace.

There are a number of reasons why should we follow the Apostle Paul.

God "Commanded" members of the Body of Christ to follow the Apostle Paul.

God "NEVER" Commanded members of the Body of Christ to follow Peter.

The most important of which is: The Lord Jesus Christ chose Paul and sent him to be THE
Apostle of the Gentiles.

In this Age of Grace, Paul is the Apostle to "ALL" that Believe, Jews included.

Romans 11:13 God said: For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I AM the Apostle of the
Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

Ephesians 3:1 God said: For this cause I Paul, the Prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

Ephesians 3:2 God said: If ye have heard of the Dispensation of the Grace of God which is
given "ME" to you-ward:

As the Apostle of the Gentiles, Paul said: Be ye followers of "ME", God didn't tell Paul to Be ye
followers Peter.

1 Corinthians 4:15 God said: For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye
not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel.

The Gospel Paul refers to in the above verse is that which is found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the
message that Christ Died FOR our SINS, he was Buried, and He Rose Again The Third Day.

It is the Grace message which the Lord revealed to Paul and Paul alone.

1 Corinthians 11:1 God said: Be ye followers of "ME", even as I also am of Christ.

To follow Paul is to follow Paul DOCTRINALLY, "NOT" following Paul's activities you might read
about in the book of Acts.

Paul did some things at the time for reasons which do "NOT Exist" Today. Especially Jewish
things during the time that Israel was still intact as a Nation, and had not yet been cast away.

If you were to try to follow Peter, or James or John you would find that you are following a
Jewish Tribulation message.

Their Doctrine pertains to the Nation of Israel.

Israel, Israel has 12 Tribes and 12 Apostles.

The Church, the Body of Christ has only "ONE" Apostles, his name is Paul:

Compare these two verses:

"1 Peter 1:13" God said: Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the
end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
That verse shows that those following Peter, in the Tribulation, must Endure to the end, the end
of their lives or the end of the Tribulation for the Grace which the Lord will bring to Israel at the
Second Coming of Christ, at the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

But Notice the contrast in what Paul says:

"Ephesians 4:7" God said: But unto every one of us is given Grace according to the measure of
the gift of Christ.

In this Dispensation of the Grace of God in "Ephesians 3:2" above committed to the Apostle
Paul Salvation is a "GIFT, NOT" something you work for or Endure to the end for:

"Ephesians 2:8" God said: For by Grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:

There is no "Work" to do in order to be Saved Today. Jesus Christ did "ALL" of the work God
requires for your Salvation:

"Ephesians 2:9" God said: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

"Ephesians 2:10" God said: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

"His workmanship" is in the fact that as Jesus Christ hung on the Cross He Suffered and Bled
and Died.

He went down into the heart of the Earth, and three days and three nights later, God Raised him
from the Dead.

"Romans 4:25" God said: that he was raised "FOR" our Justification.

In other words, the very fact that Christ was Raised from the Dead Proves that your "SINS" are
Forgiven, since God made Christ to be "SIN" for us that we might be made the Righteousness
of God in Him. "2 Corinthians 5:21"

Peter, James and John "NEVER" said things like that.

The Doctrine to the Church, the Body of Christ, is found in Romans through Philemon, the
Thirteen Books written by Paul.

Howbeit for this cause I obtained Mercy, "That in me First" Jesus Christ might shew forth "ALL"
Longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life Everlasting. "1
Timothy 1:16"

For this cause I Paul, the Prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, "Ephesians 3:1"

If ye have heard of the Dispensation of the Grace of God which is given "ME" to you-ward:
"Ephesians 3:2"

For I would not, Brethren, that ye should be "ignorant" of this Mystery, lest ye should be wise in
your own conceits; that Blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles
be come in. "Romans 11:25"

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to MY Gospel, and the preaching of Jesus
Christ, according to the Revelation of the Mystery, which was "Kept Secret Since The World
Began" "Romans 16:25"
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"

In the day when God shall Judge the Secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to "MY
Gospel" "Romans 2:16" NOT Peter's Gospel.

According to the Glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to "MY Trust" =
Paul. "1 Timothy 1:11"

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was Raised from the Dead according to "MY
Gospel." "2 Timothy 2:8" NOT Peter's Gospel.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye Followers of "ME"...ME = Paul. "1 Corinthians 4:16" NOT
Peter.

Be ye Followers of "ME", even as I also am of Christ...when one follows the teachings the Risen
Lord gave to Paul, you are following Christ. "1 Corinthians 11:1"

Brethren, be Followers together of ME, and "Mark Them" which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample. "Philippians 3:17"

"Now I beseech you, Brethren, "Mark Them" which cause Divisions and offences contrary to the
Doctrine which ye have learned; and "Avoid Them."

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words
and fair speeches "Deceive The Hearts OF The Simple." "Romans 16:17,18"

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth. "2 Timothy 2:15"

To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. "Romans 16:27"

Remember this verse, you will be Judged by it..."Romans 2:16" In the day when God shall
Judge the Secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to MY gospel. NOT Peter's Gospel.

Peter Preached the Kingdom Gospel.

Paul Preached the Gospel of the Grace of God, Two Totally Different Gospels.

By Paul's own statements in "1 Timothy 1:11-16" is the FIRST member of the Body of Christ,
the One New Man, and is the "PATTERN" of Salvation for "ALL" other members.

Example why Peter's Gospel is Different than the Gospel the Risen Lord gave to Paul:

Peter said: But in every Nation he that feareth Him, and worketh Righteousness, is accepted
with Him. "Acts 10:35"

Apostle Paul, your Apostle said: But now the Righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the Prophets; "Romans 3:21"

Do you see something Different?

Things that Differ are "NOT" the same.

How can one work "Righteousness" and "NOT" work "Righteous" at the same time? Imposable,
can't be done.

The sad fact is, 99.99% of so called Christendom really has "NO" clue about "2 Timothy 2:15."

SATAN does "NOT" want you to know Right Division, "SATAN'S JOB" is to Divide the Body of
Christ, sad fact, he is doing a good.

"2 Timothy 2:15" is Pointing to a "FUTURE" day, a day where many will be "Ashamed" a few will
be "Approved", it has "NOTHING" to do with Salvation, once "SAVED ALWAYS SAVED", it has
to do with Rewards.

In "2 Timothy 2:15" God said: Study to shew thyself "Approved" unto God, a workman that
needeth "NOT" to be "Ashamed", Rightly Dividing the word of Truth.

How to Study you Bible

Literal Method

The words communicate their natural meanings

Compare verse with verse to get the meaning of a passage

Let the Bible interpret itself

Consider these things:

Who wrote the passage

When was the passage written

Why was the passage written

To whom was the passage written

Dispensational Method

Rightly Dividing the word of truth "2 Timothy 2:15"

Prophecy and Mystery

To Summarize:

Read the Bible and know that it means exactly what it says.

Compare verse with verse in order to understand it.

Rightly Divide, that is, to recognize the things in Scripture that God has done in different times
and places and always remember the "TWO" distinctions.

1, The Prophetic Program "God's dealings with the Nation of Israel."

2, The Mystery Program "God's dealings with the Body of Christ."
