25. Paul Believes All the Law & the Prophets…Except When He Doesn’t || How Paul’s Faith Can Inform Our Own

LDS Come Follow Me 2023

July 31–August 6

Acts 22–28

“A Minister and a Witness”

In these chapters we read Paul’s defense several times (given to different audiences). He testifies that he believes everything in the law and the prophets. But how do we reconcile that belief with what he teaches that goes AGAINST what is in the Hebrew Bible? Like circumcision, dietary laws, and spending time with Gentiles. I think we find the answer in Romans 14.

We’ll also talk about Paul’s shipwreck and what lessons we can take for our own lives.
