Bible Note: Paul, in the Word of God, states, " Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you,2Cor.13:3." He also says in 1Cor.14:37, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." Every word in God's Word has been breathed out from God's own mouth. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works, 2Tim.3:16." Hence, Paul's words, no matter of the sequence, are the very words of Christ after He ascended on high and sat down at the Father's right hand, proceeded to give the message in 14 epistles to the apostle Paul. Furthermore, note that Paul addresses the MAN not woman when speaking of Scriptural profit and instructional teaching. With due respect and the Spirit's leading. DLH |
