Bible Question:
Who was Paul and what is the letter to the Thessalonians about? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... 1 Thessalonians ....... RoseS, welcome to the forum, Paul was the chief persecutor of the church and was a changed man. Read Acts, satrting with chapter 9. Plus there are glimpses in who he was in his letters. 1 Thessalonians starts with Paul being pleased they did well thru persecution (1:1-10). He had to explain his actions (2:1-20) and why Timothy was sent (3:1-13). He told them to be sexual pure (4:1-8) and love each other (4:9-12). He had to correct doctrinal errors about the resurrection and His coiming (4:13-18), then expain the day of the Lord (5:1-13). He closes the letter with how to be responsibile Christians (5:14-28). Hope this helps, Searcher |
