The Two Natures Of Christ
The 1611 Fellowship, June 1, 2023, discusses the nature of Jesus, and other essential doctrines in the 1611, but not found in modern popular Bibles. I also discuss what the scripture says about ministers of the Gospel.

AMEN! The Word in flesh appearing ❤️
Amen and amen. Paul is not who he was. He (and hopefully we as we run our race) will forever be the vessel that the Potter graciously re-made (Jeremiah 18:4). An wonderful example to us all and we thank and praise the Lord for his life and testimony!
Amen!
Thank you again Reg. A great teaching on how we are not to undermine the going forth of the Word by our actions. Paul knew from his own life experience, the Holy Spirit working within him, and his direct relationship with Christ how he had to LIVE the Word as a minister. Otherwise his testimony would have been rejected. Along with the stripes, imprisonments, and other afflictions, he battled daily against Satan ("thorn in the flesh"). He lived constantly with his background as a Pharisee, an enemy of the faith, and a murderer. He likely suffered from constant murmurings against him (Acts 9:26). Even Peter was given a dream/vision about the Word going forth to the Gentiles and STILL had lingering doubts and found Paul hard to understand (2 Peter 3: 15-16). But he finished his race and will receive his crown of righteousness. Paul was wonderfully chosen by Christ as his perfect minister to the Gentiles . . a perfect example of the power of the Word to redeem even the worst of sinners who stubbornly "kick against the pricks." His original name . . Saul . . harkened to King Saul who warred against David (an OT example of faith in Christ). Even an enemy of the faith . . a murderer such as Saul could be redeemed . . and then teach all of us how to be lights unto the world and how to go forth as effective ministers of the Word that saved us.
Well-said. Indeed, all those things describe Paul, yet God changed him. And, he became God's instrument to reach much of the Roman Empire and to write most of the Epistles, from which we learn true doctrine and practice. He wrote and spoke with authority because he knew from which he came, and he was ever grateful to Jesus Christ who redeemed him. Thus, he not only knew the word on a deep level, but he lived it, despite the consequences. He gave all. God bless.
Thanks for this again. These discussions are invaluable to me. They are like jewels.
I'm pleased that they are of benefit. God bless.
