Paul used to teach how the church is like a living human body with Christ the head exercising authority over the church to guide it. Every believer , like every part of the human body, has individual functions to perform. All individuals are of equal importance to God, as every body part is important to the body (1Cor. 12:12-31). When the body suffers, it is an extension of the sufferings of Christ (Col. 1:24). Because a believer and Christ are unified as one body and spirit (1 Cor. 6:15-17), sexual immorality is wrong. Members are to be kind, tenderhearted and forgiving to one another.

Saint Paul of The Bible is reffered to as an Apostle. An Apostle, more than a simple disciple, was a commissioner appointed by Jesus.

The explanation of who Jesus Is, of our duties, etc.. The Apostle Paul certainly served The Lord by furthering The Gospel of The Kingdom!

The Gospels of the New Testament can be described as what?

The New Testament can be described as The New Law as The Old Testament is to The Old Law. Christ brought a new law with Him which was to replace the old law as taught in the Old Testament. He taught that He was the Christ, the son on a living God. He also gave new commandments which the people were to live by doing away with the old, such as An eye for an eye. He taught that we were to love those who did harm to us and to love our neighbour as ourselves. He gave us the ten commandments and taught us how to pray. To go the extra mile when the need arose. He taught that everyone would be resurrected.


Was Apostale Paul at the Christ's crucifying?

Paul was not present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Only one or two of His disciples were there when He was crucified, or at least that's all scripture tells us. Paul's only physical introduction to Christ was at his conversion on his way to Damascus. An Apostle was one who walked with Christ, among other requirements. All of His Apostles were chosen personally by Jesus. Paul's experience with Jesus on the road to Damascus was one element that qualified Paul for apostleship.

What is the book of Philippians about and what is Paul telling us?

It is about many things in our faith, and the opening words show what Paul is sending us through the Holy Spirit - grace and peace (1.2).Also verse 9 in the first chapter shows us Paul's desire for the Philippian church and for us:And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgmentAnother Answer:Philippi in the 1st Century A.D. was populated with a diverse group - Asian, Greek and Roman. The people, therefore, would of had little in common. These different 'races,' having the usual different social ranks and religious loyalties - that is until Paul introduced them to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The primary teaching was that each of them were equal in the body of Christ (His Church) and that all were sinners saved by God's grace. They were to follow the example of Jesus and humble themselves as He did and be united in the love of Christ and His Father. Basically, the Church of God at Philippi was being taught to break the rules of men: 'There is neither Jew, nor Greek, their is neither slave nor free...for you are all one in Christ Jesus' (Galatians 3:28). Philippi became one of the most integrated places in the Mediterranean world.Paul, though in prison, taught the prominent theme of 'joy' of serving Jesus.
