Fully Known?
Part I
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
II Timothy 3:10,11

Introduction:

Paul's gospel is not a more excellent way of bondage - nor is it a list of new commandments.  It is the peace of God as you learn to walk to please God, NOT yourself, NOT your preacher, NOT something to make others do so they can be a Christian, too.

A "DO" list mentality is because we have been brought up under the Gospels gospel for so many years - obedience to the commandments or God will git-cha if you don't 'git them sins fessed up' according to I John 1:9, etc. etc.

Kingdom Builders are Expanding
Our own folks who in the past preached against the Kingdom Builders are now falling into the same idea - build up their local church - bigger and bigger - Independent Baptist - KJB, etc.

Spiritual Kingdom Today
Our kingdom today is still Paul's preaching of that spiritual kingdom.

Paul's ways are peace - real peace - inner Spiritual peace!
Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:9 - Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
In other words, those things that Paul teaches us and shows us all fit the previous verse 8...  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

So, Do You FULLY Know Those Things Concerning Paul?
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
II Timothy 3:10,11
