From Brother Wally White;
I recently attended a mens bible study and matthew 6 was the topic for our
discussion . after we read the chapter we discussed the aspect of giving per the
Lords teaching. One of the brothers brought up the fact that Jesus was at this
point in time teaching the gospel of the kingdom , Not the gospel of grace as
per pauls epistles . It was pointed out that at this time Jesus said he was sent
only to the lost sheep of the house of israel ( Mt 15:24 ) The church was not
even mentioned until Mt. 16:18 and it was a future event . We now know the
church was not officially established until the day of pentecost in acts 2;1-5 .
It was brought to the attention that apostle paul was the first to teach the
gospel of grace ( which he called "my gospel " ) and that that the epistles are
the only place that NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH doctines are taught. In our meeting
about one half of the men in attendance were offended by this ! I would like to
submit this to the blog for discussion . Can we teach new testament church
doctrine from kingdom of heaven doctine ? Would love to hear others opinion on
this !
