New Doctrine...

(1/6) > >>

paulfisher:
In any of the letters in the New Testament, was any new doctrine taught, or had all doctrine been taught during the authors actual presence among the new saints?

Paul

ez2u:
not understanding?

gregorydc:
Wasn't it all new doctrine?  Everything in the letters (save a few spots) was written as scripture, all scripture was for our admonition, our learning. Therefore if it is scripture would it not be considered new doctrine when these letters were written?  Even Peter said Paul's letters were hard to decipher at times but were for our learning (paraphrasing there) . So I believe it is new doctrine.  Just a thought from a no one.

Try Ephesians 3:8-9 Paul explains that it had been revealed to him about the mysteries or spiritual secrets of God that had not previously been known by anyone, not even the 12.

But I make known to you, brethren that the gospel that was preached by me is not according to man.
 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the Church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.
 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace,
 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. (Galatians 1:11-18).

Joel:
John the Baptist preached the Kingdom of God by the Spirit of God, having revelations also from the Old Testament, and died for doing so.
Jesus said that the religious leaders of his day didn't know him even though the scriptures of the old Testament plainly reveled him. They were blinded, and The Son of God was crucified.
Stephen by the Spirit preached Jesus to the multitudes and was stoned to death for it.
James, Peter, Paul, John, all these men died preaching the basics that The God of Love in the Old Testament, Is the God of Love that came to the world in the Lord Jesus Christ. Giving us the New Testament in his own blood.  Sound doctrine today reveals Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour from both Old, and New Testament witnesses of him.
Paul only had the Old Testament to preach from, and the Revelations that Jesus gave him directly that dovetailed with the Old Testament scriptures concerning him.

Joel
