THE FLESHLY ONES


THE PAULINE DOCTRINES ARE A POOR SUBSTITUTE

Acts 6:
1    Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
2    Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables.
3    Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;
4    but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word."
5    And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,
6    whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
7    Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8    And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

1 Corinthians 2:
1    And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.
2    For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3    I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4    And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5    that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

WHENEVER A CHURCH OR DENOMINATION LOSES ITS POWER  AND EFFECTIVENESS BECAUSE IT STOPPED BEING FULL OF FAITH, WISDOM, HOLY SPIRIT AND POWER , IT STARTS TO TRUST IN THE WISDOM OF MEN INCLUDING PAULINE DOCTRINES CONJURED OUT OF PAUL'S EPISTLES! DOCTRINES SUCH AS UNLIMITED GRACE, ONCE SAVED,ALWAYS SAVED, PREDESTINATION, WOMEN CANNOT PREACH,  PASTORS ARE TO RULE CHURCHES, LOVE IS THE GREATEST, MIRACLES HAVE CEASED, ETC

THE WORD OF GOD TELL US THAT APOSTLE PAUL NEVER INTENDED THAT HIS WRITINGS BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR HAVING OUR FAITH IN THE POWER OF GOD BUT IN THE WISDOM OF MEN.

HOWEVER FLESHLY CARNAL ONES LOVE THINGS THEY CAN CONTROL INCLUDING DOCTRINE AND UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURES SINCE THEY CANNOT CONTROL THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS GIFTS INCLUDING MIRACLES

AS A RESULT THE FLESHLY ONES  WHO ARE DEVOID OF POWER AND TRUTH HATE  JESUS COMMANDS AND STATEMENTS IN  MARK 16:14    Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15    And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16    He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17    And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18    they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
19    So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20    And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
