<....”It is CRUCIAL to know where you are in God's program as you study the BIble. Keeping the RIGHT Scriptures for the RIGHT TIME is ESSENTIAL. 2 TIm 2:15”....>

I think most understand this smvoice.....yet even the disciple's had difficulty with the truth and where they were in God's Program...and so will we.... who can sometimes be just as “slow and hard to understand” as Jesus said His disciple's were...........Many times He mentioned how long he'd been with them and yet they still did not understand.

And don't forget what Peter wrote in regards to Paul's teachings: "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according TO THE WISDOM GIVEN UNTO HIM hath WRITTEN UNTO YOU: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." (2 Pet. 3:15,16).

Peter wasn't just making an off-hand remark about Paul's writings. He specifically spoke of Paul's writings as being hard to be understood. Because Paul's writings had to do with the MYSTERY, kept secret in God since the world began, until revealed to Paul from direct revelations from the risen Christ. THAT was the "wisdom given unto him". And it was different that the wisdom given to Peter and the 11. Otherwise, Peter would have had no problem with Paul's revelations. See Galatians, Chapter 2. It was no small tidbit of advice that Peter wrote about concerning Paul's scriptures.
