How To Understand the King James 1611 Bible

Commandments from the Risen Christ to Paul and On To Us Today
Part I - Introduction

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you,
that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
II Thessalonians 3:4
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you,
and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
I Thessalonians 1:9
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.
Philippians 4:9

Paul's commandments are not from man!

Titus 1:14 - Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Galatians 1:11,12 - But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Same with me here in Touchet - I am showing you the Book, not my teachings!
The teachings are a 'result' of learning the Book!

I Thessalonians 2:13 - For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
If preached TO people today from Gospels, OT, Acts 1-8 AND Hebrews - Jude, the teachings and preachings are from men!

Does Paul mention the infamous "Ten Commandments" even though there is no law for the Christian? Sure, but one is not mentioned and is in fact, debunked!

See Colossians 2:16,17 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Made manifest?

Romans 16:26 - But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

note: obedience to faith, not baptism, like we hear so much these days!

So, what is it that was made manifest according to the commandment of the everlasting God?

See verse 25 - Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

Ephesians 3:3 - How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;...

Commandments from Paul!

I Corinthians 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.
I Thessalonians 4:1,2 - Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
I Timothy 6:14 - That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Which commandment?

See verse 12 - Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Remember, the faith that we are to fight for is HIS! Tell folks about it!

Good subject for public ministry, eh!
Romans 3:22 - Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Galatians 2:16 - Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 3:22 - But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Ephesians 3:12 - In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Philippians 3:9 - And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
wrongly dividing can overthrow the faith of some
II Timothy 2:18 - Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

include reading 2:15-18

The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
