announcer hello and welcome to through the bible with les feldick. an oklahoma rancher and farmer, les feldick has been teaching home-style bible classes for over twenty years in iowa, oklaho and texas. les feldick's unique style of bible teaching has made the books of the bible come to life. when les is tehing, it's so interesting that people say, 'time just seems to fly by.' and now here is les feldick. les feldick okay, good to have everybody back and we're going to look at something a little bit different this time from

of the timeline of all of scripture, we're going to look at a timeline of sorts, that covers paul's church epistles. and it's amazing, the reason i like to teach these things is to show how intrinsically, how beautifully all of the bible is put together. everything fits from genesis to revelation and everything is so programmed, if i may use that word, that no human could have ever dreamed it up. now we're going to see that there are seven of paul's epistles that were written to the church and they're called the church epistles. well now, do you think the apostle paul sat there and beat his brains out - now how can i divide this up so i come up with the number seven, which is of course, god's perfect number? no! i mean, paul just wrote those letters as it was appropriate and it just fell out that there were seven of them that were written for the

within his letters, i think we've pointed out one in particular when we were teaching romans. here he comes out with seven distinct things that god had accomplished with the nation of israel. now again do you think paul sat there and beat his brains out, now how can i put this in seven? no. and so all of this just points up the inspiration of everything, even to the way they were lined up in our new testament, which isn't according to his chronological order, but the holy spirit put them in exactly as they were supposed to be when men of god put the new testament together. now i've made this point before way back when we started romans, that all the books of the new testament are sometimes in various copies of antiquity, are in different order. in other words, every new testament that's in libraries across the

matthew, mark, luke and john. even the four gospels may be mixed up and the same way with the little epistles of peter and john. they're not always ithat order. but, every one of paul's epistles are always in every copy of the new testament that's available, the epistles of paul are always in the same order that we have them today. now that tells us of course, that the holy spirit was in total control when the men w met approximately 350 ad and put the cannon of scripture together and formulated our new testament. so always remember that god has particularly brooded over these pauline epistles because they are they ones that are appropriate for us today. all right, now ve got my studio audience already turned, so those of going to have to find this one in a hurry. ii timothy chapter 3. ii timothy

is going to be in ephesians chapter 1, so roy's got the right number on the board, we're going to be looking at eesians verse by verse but before we do that i want you to look at ii timothy chapter 3 verse 16, where the apostle paul writes, "all scripture." the whole bible, from cover to cover is given by inspiration of god. now you know nothing irks me more, when even good men, and i'm sure they mean well. but they wl sometimes give, for example luke, the writer of a good portion of our new testament. the gospel of luke and most of the book of acts is written by luke, who i've said for years and years, was not a gentile, he was a jew. and now bless their hearts i'm getting articles from people out in tv-land proving almost beyond a shadow of a doubt that luke was indeed not a gentile.

i always just based it on the verse romans where paul says, 'what advantage then hath the jew?' and then he answered it in the next verse, 'much, every way. because unto them (the jew) was committed the word of god.' well, how in the world can you make a statement like that and then have something like the whole book of luke and the book of acts, written by a gentile? well, it just won't fit. and so on that basis i've always felt that luke was a jew. granted he had a roman name, but so did paul. see, saul was his jewish name, paul was a roman name. and i think much the same thing happened with luke. but, "all scripture." even though luke, i guess i dropped my thought. they give lukcredit for being a tremendous diarist. in other words, he must have just kept a perfect diary every day, especially as he traveled - no, no. i'm sure that a lot of these things were in luke's mind. he remembered things that took

the scripture from what was in his memory. he wrote the scripture as the holy spirit inspired him to write it and the same way with the gospel writers. they may have remembered a lot of the things that took place in christ's earthly ministry but they didn't write from what they remembered. they wrote from what the holy spirit inspired them to write. and always remember that. all the wrers of scripture, even though they were part and parcel of that point in time and their personality shines through, because of it. yet what they wrote was not from notes that they had gathered. it wasn't from hearsay. it as the holy spirit moved them to write. all right so now then back to our verse. ii timothy 3 verse 16, "all scripture is given by inspiration of god and is profitable for doctrine (in other words, good teaching)

words, when things have to be straightened out) and for correction." in other words, for someone who gets off course. and as i was mulling this verse again a coming up, you know i've told you so often, we drive 90 miles, of course, those of you out in television, we drive 90 miles up to tulsa and a lot of times i don't say a word for 90 miles and i think my precious little wife knows why, because i'm mulling all this over in my mind as i drive. and you know as i was thinking of this very word correction, i remembered when we were putting men on the moon. and they would make note of the fact that as those rockets were going through space, that they had to constantly correct their trajectory because if they were off just a fraction of a degree, with such tremendous amount of miles, they would have missed the moon by who know how much!

constantly do? correct. correct. see? all right now that's what the scripture has to do, it's so easy to get off course. but the scripture is here to bring us back on course. and that's what correction stands for. so "it's profitable for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." now it's kind of unique then that all of paul's church letters especially, the seven that we're going to put on the board, all fall into this unfolding kind of a category. now that doesn't sound like good english, does it? but i think you know what i mean. and i've said it before that all of scripture from genesis to revelation is a progressive revelation. in other words, as we come up through the old testament, god is always revealing something that the fellows back there didn't know. we come into the new testament, god begins to reveal things that wasn't in the old testament and then especially of course, when we get to the apostle

never hinted in the old testament. revelations of things that jesus never spoke of, but within the letters of paul and especially the seven church letters that we're going to be looking at on the board, again it's a progressive revelation going from the beginnings of his writings to the end but it's going to be under this format. first doctrine, then reproof, then correction and then instruction in righteousness. now i point that out only just to show you how beautifully this book is put together. and paul didn't just sit down and say, now how can i do this? i've got to be able to put doctrine first, i've got to be able to somehow write in the area of reproof. no! i don't think the apostle paul when he wrote his letters even realized that he was writing scripture. i don't believe he knew that and i

aghast if he could have seen down through the corridor of history of what his writings would become, because he just wrote as the holy spirit inspired him to write. fired the letters off to these various churches by courier and now you know the book of romans he sent to rome from corinth with phoebe, a lady. and others went with some of his friends, titus and timothy and so forth. but i don't think he had any idea that this was going to become what we call cannon of scripture. but, whether he knew it or not, he put it out under this very format, first doctrine, then reproof, then correction, and then instruction in righteousness. all right, now i'm going to put again a timeline of sorts, dealing with paul's epistles and of course we start back here with his letters that were written

travels. and i think most people are aware of his missionary travels, when he left antioch and then he went up into asia minor, up to antioch of pisidia, and derbe and lystra and so forth. and then later on in his second journey, he went all the way over to greece and athens and thessalonica and all that. all right, that began in about 40 ad, when he came back from his three years of instruction with the lord at mount sinai and these letters then become what we know of as - romans, and then the corinthian letters, first and second corinthians, and then came the book of galatians. now all those were written between the beginning of his ministry, in fact none of them were

56-58 ad and then romans of course, was written about 60 ad, if i remember - no 64 ad, i'm sorry, and galatians was written earlier in about 60 ad and then the corinthian letters were written somewhere in between there. it doesn't matter but it was somewhere in that are of 61-62 ad something like that. all right, those four letters then were written during his time of missionary travels and so forth and as i mentioned in that last half-hour by virtue of the jews now being in every city in the roman empire. wherever the apostle paul went, where did he go first? to the jew. to the synagogue. because they were in every city of any importance. and so being a jew himself, steeped in judaism, having a love for his kinsmen according to the flesh as he calls them,

he would go first to the synagogue of the jew. and he would expound to them out of the old testament. because you want to remember, there is no new testament. the gospels haven't been written until after paul has written his letters. so he couldn't even tell people well, if you want to know a little more about jesus in his earthly ministry, read matthew, mark, luke and john. they hadn't been written yet. and so everywhere he went, he simply had to speak the word verbally, because there was nothing written until he began his letters. now of course, out here we're going to come to i and ii thessalonians, which and ii thessalonians, which are going to be at the very end of the seven letters to the churches and they are going to be the ones that are instruction. but, the amazing thing is even though they are at the end of the line of revelation, these were written first,

ad. but, the holy spirit, even though he prompted him to write them early, the holy spirit saw fit to put it at the end in our new testament order. now then, i want you to turn with me to acts chapter 28. now again this is all history as well as bible study. because if you understand the historical setting then you can understand where the apostle is coming from and why the holy spirit does what he does. now remember, beginning with his missionary journeys out of palestine, or out of the land of israel, up into asia minor beginning about 40 ad and around the city of antioch up in syria. and during those years from 40 ad until he goes to prison, probably in again, i'm going to say 64-65 ad somewhere in there,

agreed so i don't have to either, but during this period of time, of about 25 years, he is constantly appealing to the jew on the basis of the old testament but he has now written, romans. i guess i'd better put this up here first. romans which is the book of doctrine. see? romans is the doctrinal book. so even though galatians was written earlier, yet the holy spirit puts romans in our new testament exactly where it belongs because 'all scripture is given and is profitable for' first of all 'doctrine.' all right, that's romans. then the next two books that we studied and we've already come through them, they were for that next part of the format and that was for 'reproof.' and you'll remember when we studied the corinthians letters, my what did they need reproof in? well, all their

immorality. they had dissention in the church; they had divisions. they were having problems with legal matters with one another. they had problems about what they could eat and what they couldn't eat. i mean the church was just beset with all kinds of problems. so he had to reprove them with those two letters of i and ii corinthians. but they're still appropriate for us even today. all right, then you come to the book of galatians, even though it was written earliest, but it's in the fourth of the order of the church letters, written before romans, but after, in our new testament order, now we have a book that was written for 'correction.' all right, i think it wasn't that long ago, what did the galatians need in

slipping off to? legalism! see? they were slipping off course and they were going back into legalism. so the book of galatians was literally written to bring them back on course. 'you're not under law, you're under grace.' the whole six chapters of that little book was on that theme and that theme alone. but, if you'll remember when we were in galatians, what was he constantly referring to? abraham. and then we used the allegory of isaac and ishmael, as pictures of law and grace, see? constantly flipping back into the old testament and using the jew as examples and appealing to the jew to come out of their blindness and out of their legalism and step into the light of god's grace. all right, now that covered then this whole period of time while paul was roaming the roman empire, establishing churches but now you've got acts 28, all of a sudden

paul's ministry and he's going to be arrested and he's going to be taken to prison in rome. now you all know that. all right, now turn with me to acts chapter 28 and we're going to have to move rather quickly, verse 17. he has now arrived at rome after all the shipwreck and the turmoil of getting from caesarea over there in israel, he's now in rome, verse 17, "and it came to pass that after three days, paul called the chief of the jews (that is of the jewish community in rome). and he called the chief of the jews together and when they were come together he said unto them, men and brethren, though i have committed nothing against the people (that is of israel) or the customs of our fathers, yet was i delivered prisoner from jerusalem into the hands of the romans." now of course, you all remember how the

paul. they treated him just like he had treated them earlier. and so they were constantly after his life. trying to kill him one way or another but you remember the romans took hiunder their wing and of course he had to appeal to caesar and so now he is in rome waiting for justice to be meted out. all right, verse 19. "when the jews spake against it (that is his message of salvation) i was constrained to appeal unto caesar, (see? that's why he's in rome. now then he says,) i have nothing to accuse my nation of. (verse 20.) and so for this cause (because he had no controversy with the people who had caused his arrest. he say).for this cause, therefore, i have called for you to see and to speak with you that for the hope of israeam i bound in this chain." see the man never lost his love for his kinsmen according to the

the fact that they were constantly trying to put m to death. they were trying to upset his ministry, but he never lost his love for them. all right, now then after these jewish leaders in rome had come to meet with him where he was under house arrest, verse 25, "and when they agreed not among themselves, (that is these jewish leaders at rome) they departed." in other words, they left. they couldn't agree on anything. "after paul had spoken one word (and this is what paul told these jewish leaders) well spake the holy spirit by isaiah (see, he's going back to ste old teament. isaiah knew what he was talking about.).when he said, go to this people and say, hearing you shall hear and not understand. seeing

perceive for the heart of this people is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing; their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears heart and ould be converted and i could heal them" in other words, israel has been constantly covered with aeneer of blindness. way back in isaiah's day. and so paul is saying the same thing; 'i'm in the same situation. i have tried to get you to see the truth, but you would not.' all right, now verse 28. now remember where paul is, he's in rome in prison. now he says, "be it known therefore unto you that the salvation of god is sent to (what people) gentiles." now he has told them earlier in his ministry that if they're

he says, we'll go to the gentiles. so this isn't the first time, but it's the final one. he told them earlier, he says, we're going to go to the gentiles and of course he always did, but he would still come back and appeal to the nation of israel but now it's final. now this is final. so he says, again verse 28, "therefore let it be known unto you that the salvation of god is sent to the gentiles and they will hear it." doesn't say they're all going to believe it, but they're going to hear it. "and so when he had said these words, the jews departed and had great reasoning (or arguing) amongst themselves." now you say, what are you bringing all this out for? well you see, this makes again a point of departure in paul's writing of the gospel of grace, written to the church and i'm going to do it like

big jump up and now we reach a plateau that goes above romans, and corinthians and galatians and when we get now up to the letter of ephesians, we come to one of what we call the prison epistles, or the prison letters. however you want to put it, and after acts 28, when he's in prison and he writes ephesians, philippians and colossians; we're going to have the same format that we have here. ephesians is now going to be a higher level of doctrine. philippians is going to be a higher level of reproof. and colossians is going to be a higher level of correction. now you won't see that until we get to it verse by verse, but now

make. once he makes this jump up into higher, or deeper spiritual truths, you will find there iso longer any mention. i'll just put it this way no mention - not once of a jew or the old testament. now isn't that amazing? after the statement of acts 28, 'from henceforth we turn to the gentiles,' there is not another word, in the inspired letters of ephesians, philippians and colossians out of the old testament. not once is the jew mentioned and what's the purpose? well you see, as soon as we get into these prison epistles and higher or deeper church truth, we're no longer concerned with that

gentile because now god is dealing with the whole human race on one level. every person that is saved comes into the body of christ on the same level, whether he's jew or gentile. and the jew has lost his identity so far as the church age is concerned as such. and this is what we have to be aware of that this is in god's purposes. that now the whole idea is the bringing together of jew and gentile into one body. and there is no difference. now this is what a lot of even our messianic jews, i think, are beginning to turn away from, is this pauline teaching that for the age of grace, there is no difference. a jew has to be saved today as a sinner, as a fallen son of adam, just

gentiles. and too many of th are losing sight of that. they're trying to jump back up into that place of privilege that they enjoyed before and listen, it's not there. and they have to understand that, that we are now all one in christ and in these prison epistles, of ephesians, philippians, colossians, there is no dividing between jew and gentile. there is no reference to the old testament. that's all for a purpose, see? and this is where we have to understand. now this again, this leads to my teaching over and over that people have to get out of the four gospels and get into paul's writing because the four gospels are still 90% jewish and tt has all been set aside. that is no longer in god's program. now that doesn't mean you throw it away, anymore that

testament. but it's just as ridiculous to say, 'well i go by what jesus says' as it is when i showed you in the first hour, then you've got to go back to leviticus 5 and say, well i can't touch a dead thing because then i have to take a sacrifice to the altar at the temple. same difference. and so we have to put all these things into perspective of the unfolding and the progressive revelation even of the letters of the apostle paul. so now in our next half-hour we're going to start a verse by verse of one of these prison epistles and we're going to be constantly aware that god is no longer making any reference to the jew or to the old testament. and it's for his own purposes. announcer thank you for watching through the bible

fit in before i started using the total gym. sincthe total gym, i'm now a size 32. i lost 100 pounds. thank you, total gym. >> let's return to the total gym challenge. >> as a trainer, i've never seen such phenomenal results. >> i really like that, being on the one machine, i was able to go back and forth between the strength and the cardio without dropping my heart rate at all. so, i found that it was a really high-calorie-burning, very exciting workout. >> i liked that, if it was too intense, you could kind of back off a little bit. so it wasn't like if you go for a typical run, where it's the same crazy level of intensity the whole time. you can sort of really adjust it for your personal level. so that was great. it's really motivating to sort of be able to keep up with the rest of the group. >> total gym really lives up to the name. your whole body gets worked out. it's very efficient for folks that have busyifestyles. you can get a fabulous workout in 40 minutes that would probably normally take you a couple hours. >> feeling great. every time i go on the machine, i get better and better. looking forward to seeg the

great total gym results. >> oh, wow. this is... [ chuckles ] this picture is from a week prior to using the total gym. when i first started using the total gym, my co-workers -- they noticed a difference and they noticed that i was actually losing the weight and i was getting smaller. and they wanted to know what my secret was. and i told them i didn't have a secret, that i was using the total gym. prior to starting the total gym, my first goal was -- i wanted to complete a marathon. another goal of mine was to be able to fit into my size-5 jeans, which i've been able to. if i can dit, anyone can do it. my name is gena nelson, and i've lost 55 pounds using the total gym. >> hi. i'm chuck norris. this is my son dakota. so, anyway, dakota and i are

exercises that helped him in his martial arts and his gymnastics training. thiss one of the tricep exercises, where we bend in and push out. and this has helped strengthen dakota's triceps to get him to be able to excel in many of the routines that he has to do in gymnastics. then now, from here, let's work on our lats. this is a great lat exercise. let's do our biceps. this one's a great exercise, too. helps dakota's gymnastics and martial-art competition. from here, pull here, and then back. twist and back. >> the total gym has helped me excel in my martial arts and also in my gymnastics. and it has also doubled my strength. >> doubled your strength, huh?

fun, isn't it? wow. [ chuckles ] that's good. don't ask me to do it.
