The basis is 2 Timothy 2:15.
The first mathematical principle in the Scriptures is DIVISION (Genesis ch. 1).
Further, the concept of SEPARATION is dealt with in Scripture, before the concept of UNITY.
The Three groupings of humans in history that must be divided and separated in order to understand God’s prophetic purposes are: (1) THE JEW, (2) THE GENTILE, AND (3) THE CHURCH OF GOD. (1 Corinthians 10:32).
The outline provided in this study will help illustrate what more must be studied by dividing things, and separating things.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
My question was define, from the Word, what is rightly dividing the word of truth. It is clearly defined in scripture.
It is essential to know what is being rightly divided. So if one is to study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, what is to be rightly divided...it is not about jews and gentiles...it is not about dividing books in the bible...it is not about many words...it is quite simply defined.
If one is to teach, he must understand this key to the gospel. Please do not be offended I refer to myself as a right divider, and I test those who also claim to know right division. Which is why I was somewhat excited to read the title to your post.
I have found that many believe to rightly divide the word of truth means to rightly divide the Word...but it is the (word of truth)that is to be divided...so what is the word of truth as defined simply, in essentially one verse of scripture. I think any further discussion would be better done in private reply...freepmail...but either way is fine.
