Acts242: Continuing the Apostles' Teaching
In the early days of the church we read from the NASB95 translation "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Sadly, within a short time so many false teachers cropped up that Paul had to write in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths." The time Paul spoke of was then...but it also is now.
This podcast is a fresh presentation of the old, old truths presented by the apostles so long ago. Each episode is considered carefully, prayed about earnestly, and researched thoroughly before it is recorded. You will hear me quote trusted voices in the past throughout the episodes and sometimes bring on experts to discuss things in better detail.

Acts242: Continuing the Apostles' Teaching
Galatians Chapter 5 - Verdict and Sentencing
This chapter of Galatians lays out God's sentence on those holding and then on those teaching this wicked doctrine that we must do additional things to be justified. The verdict is...this doctrine is not from God...the sentence is...you are not saved if you hold this. The sentence for those who were teaching this was that it was leaven and they needed to bear God's judgement and be removed from the assembly and he wished they would cut themselves off - separate themselves from the body of believers.
Then the apostle by the Spirit goes into antinomianism and the evil that this 'other side of the ditch' would be and proclaims that those who practice the deeds of the flesh are not saved either. Then there is a reminder that we are purchased by God and how we walk today is not be a law...but by the Spirit of God alone.
