...To Damascus, far away from Israel's prophecy, covenants, and law, and:
According To God's Revelation Of His Mystery:
A) God Apprehended / Appointed Saul/Paul As Administrator Of Grace, When He
Opened "His New Dispensation" [ Please recall a similar 'appointment' of Moses
As administrator of the law when God opened that Previous dispensation, Correct? ]
B) God Blinded, and Also Baptized Saul/Paul { Both Hebrew and Roman } As The Very
First "member" { Representative of } His New Joint Jew/Gentile ↑ Body Of Christ
C) Thus God Created His "One New man" ( In Which there is Now Neither
"Jew Nor Gentile" )
---------------------------------------------
"in me first" Occurs Only one time in my Bible! - Why Did God
Inspire [ Breathe Out ] That 'Phrase'?
[ 5 ] Bible Reasons for the A, B, C's above?:
"According to The Glorious Gospel of The Blessed God, Which was committed
to my trust. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, Who Hath enabled me, for that
He Counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; who was before a
blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I Obtained Mercy, because
I did it ignorantly in unbelief . . ." [ but, 1) Very Near To God's ↑↑↑↑↑ ]
"...And [ 2) Very Near To → ] The Grace of our Lord Was Exceeding Abundant
with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is A Faithful Saying, and
Worthy of all acceptation, That Christ Jesus Came into the world To Save
sinners; of whom I am chief." (1 Timothy 1:11-15 AV)
"Howbeit for This Cause I Obtained Mercy, That [ 3) ] in me first Jesus Christ
Might Shew Forth All Longsuffering, [ 4) ] for a pattern to them which should
[ 5) ] h-e-r-e-a-f-t-e-r believe on Him to life everlasting." (1 Timothy 1:16 AV)
Therefore, how is it possible that God Opened The Dispensation Of Grace at
Pentecost, and Began The Body Of Christ, The One New man, when Paul,
the first [ 'member' and ] pattern, was not even Saved Until Acts 9?
Isn't that robbing all the Israelites saved at Pentecost of their earthly hope,
changing it into "The Heavenly hope of The Body Of Christ," which is out of
context? What? 'Context' is no longer king?
And/But Now, Under Grace:
Did you know that even Peter recognized "something Different," after God Saved
Paul, and then, God Saved the first Gentiles [ part of "them which should hereafter
believe on Him" thus making the 'Joint' Jew/Gentile Heavenly 'Organism' Official ],
before Peter could even mention and fulfill Christ's Command to him and the eleven
( for His earthly assembly under The Law ) to water baptize them "for the remission
of sin", did he not?
Another relevant question on the other end of God's 'Mid-Acts Dispensation
Of Grace' is why do the proponents of 'the Acts 28 beginning Of The Body Of
Christ' "leave out" all of the 'members' who [ hereafter ] Were Saved According
to God's pattern of Paul, up Until Acts 28? Isn't that [ out of context and ]
robbing them of their heavenly hope?
Therefore, if The One New man, The Body Of Christ, was Official When Paul Was
Saved in Acts 9, And the first Gentiles Were Saved In Acts 10, according to the
pattern That God Established, isn't that Exactly Why God Inspired Peter to say:
"But we believe That Through The Grace Of The Lord Jesus Christ
we shall be saved even As they [ were saved ]..." (Acts 15:11 AV)
Wait! What?: "...Then all the multitude kept silence..." (v 12)
---------------------------------------------
So, precious friends, which Is God's Will for us, Today, Under Grace?:
1) Continue to 'speak up' about these:
a) Follow the 12, without "Paul, the pattern"? or: b) Follow the 11, without
Matthias, but with Paul as the 12th? Or, c) follow the twelve and Paul,
making "13 to follow" ( All Confusion! )?
Or,
2) Keep silent, and Simply Follow "God, The Author Of Peace, not Confusion"
(1 Corinthians 14:33 AV), and:
Obey, Under Grace, What He Has Plainly and Clearly Ordained/Called us (Saved "By
Grace Through faith"), to do In the "But Now Dispensation Of The Grace Of God"?:
"Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me." (1 Corinthians 4:16 AV)
"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." (1 Corinthians 11:1 AV)
"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;" (Ephesians 5:1 AV)
"Brethren, be followers together of me..." (Philippians 3:17 AV)
And then "speak up" Boldly, As Paul Did, About Making Known "The Mystery Of The
Gospel" (Ephesians 6:19 AV), and making all see "The Fellowship Of The Mystery"
(Ephesians 3:9 AV), all According to What God Gave him To preach "Jesus Christ
According To The Revelation Of The Mystery" (Romans 16:25 AV)?
