    encourage them (1 Thess. 217 313), but also
    to hold them accountable for their actions
    (2 Cor. 1214 132)
  • Pauls presence was discredited by opponents of
    his own generation (2 Cor. 1010-11)
  • Paul is not present today, but his inspired words
    remain in all church buildings where the Bible is
    still present

    326-27 Tit. 35)
  • He would find differing views on baptism
    (Acts 2216 Rom. 63-4,17-18 Col.

    and work miracles (1 Cor. 137-8)

    different from Jesus (Gal. 16-8 Col. 28 1
    Tim. 63)
  • He would find people desiring to be justified by
    the Old Law (Gal. 51-4 Col. 214,16)
  • He would find prognosticators predicting the date
    for the coming of the Lord (1 Thess. 52-4)

  • He would find women preachers (1 Tim. 212) and
    women elders (1 Tim. 31-2)
  • He would find unbalanced preaching in the pulpits
    (2 Tim. 42)
