His main messages in his letters were mainly based on the fact that he believed if you were a Christian from somewhere you didn't have to do what Christians from another area did. He told the readers of the letters not to force things on to other Christians just because you were doing them yourself. He supposedly wrote to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, Philemon and Hebrews. These are all books in the New Testament.]]> 2016-11-17 06:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/20siglc/gwmkwf7t89jm/wish/138310013 5. Identify and *explain in 50-100 words a cultural challenge for Paul that is revealed in one of his epistles  20siglc https://padlet.com/20siglc/gwmkwf7t89jm/wish/138310906 One of the letters (epistles) Paul wrote to the Galatians was debating the status of Jewish law and what was required for the Gentiles to be Christian. When the Galatian communities became Christian there was no requirement for circumcision for the Gentiles. Sometime after the conversion a group of Jewish Christian went to Galatia and started to preach, saying that so one could be saved one needed to follow the requirements of the Jewish law, specifically to be circumcised. Paul’s reaction was immediate. He wrote, ‘I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel.’]]> 2016-11-17 06:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/20siglc/gwmkwf7t89jm/wish/138310906 Interpret and *apply one of Paul's messages for us today in 50-100 words 20siglc https://padlet.com/20siglc/gwmkwf7t89jm/wish/138311064 Philippians, 2:1-5:
To have the same mind, same love and be in full accord and of one mind. Don’t do anything to be selfish, ambitious and conceitful, but in humbleness treat others better than you treat yourself. Don't look at your own interests and instead at interests of other. This message is good for people because we care so much about ourselves (phones, social status, looks) that we don't stop to think of other people.
Philippians, 3:12-14
That having nothing (being in prison, being homeless) can actually help people spread the word to people and that being jailed for religion makes you known and people will at that fact. Followers of people jailed have more confidence to spread it for the ‘leader’. The message is good for today’s world because people are afraid to speak out unless something bad happens or you lose something.
