The Epistles

Romans 1:7-16, 1 Corinthians 1:2-5,10-16

**The Epistles** are not loose pages for anybody to twist into whatever doctrine suits them. Paul wrote to the Church—born again believers, saints called out by God, folks who had already come through the foundation laid in Acts. If you don’t know who’s talking and who he’s talking to, you’ll end up confused, deceived, and calling error “revelation.” This study draws the line hard: go back to the Apostles’ Doctrine, rightly divide the Word, and stop using Romans and Corinthians to dodge obedience to the Gospel. This is a warning to the Church that has derailed—split by divisions, tangled in politics, puffed up under men’s names, and drifting from Christ’s headship. Paul didn’t beg Corinth to speak the same thing because unity was optional. He did it because contentions destroy souls. The picnic is over. It’s time to come back to the old landmark: one faith, one Gospel, one Lord Jesus Christ, holiness, sanctification, and truth without man-made confusion. If that cuts—it’s supposed to.
