Bible Question: Does this verse tell us to know His ministry to Israel no longer, yet know Him in His heavenly minstry through Paul? |
Bible Answer: Yes, Bill, we use Paul's writings for doctrine, because they constitute a significant part of the New Testament canon. But not Paul's writings only, but the entire body of Scripture, because all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching (doctrine), for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim.3:16,17) We know Jesus today, not in the flesh as the Apostles knew him, but through His word and through the Spirit that indwells in the heart of every regenerate believer. --Hank |
