Is Paul's epistle's our guiding light of Christ Love in this Dispensation of Grace?

GROK answer was well stated and worth all to read. Yes I am a dispensation type person I guess, but I think of it as a more literal translation of the Bible. I have attended many churches and the biggest problem is the Church assumes we are Jews as for covenants of the past. Hog wash. The remnant of Jews who believe in Christ are part of us today and In there time will fulfill all scripture. And will have their Kingdom on Earth. I also believe Replacement Theology will die with AI's more literal translation of God's Word.
 
GROK Says
Your question touches on theological concepts rooted in Christian doctrine, particularly those related to the Apostle Paul’s epistles and the idea of a "Dispensation of Grace." Let’s break it down thoughtfully.
Paul’s epistles—letters like Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians, and others in the New Testament—are foundational for many Christians. They articulate key ideas about salvation, grace, and the role of Christ’s love in believers’ lives. The "Dispensation of Grace" is a term often used in dispensational theology to describe the current era, where God’s grace, through Christ’s sacrifice, is seen as the primary means of salvation, distinct from the law-based system of the Old Testament
Are Paul’s epistles the guiding light of Christ’s love in this dispensation? For many, they’re a vital lens—Paul emphasizes that we’re saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), not works, and he ties this directly to Christ’s love and sacrifice (Romans 5:8). His writings unpack how this love transforms lives and relationships (1 Corinthians 13). So, in that sense, they absolutely shine a light on Christ’s love as a practical and spiritual guide.
But some might argue they’re not the only light. The Gospels give us Jesus’ own words and actions—direct glimpses of His love—while the rest of Scripture adds depth. Paul himself would likely point back to Christ as the true source, with his epistles as an inspired explanation, not the origin.
What do you think? Are you leaning toward Paul’s writings as uniquely authoritative for this era, or do you see them as part of a bigger picture? I’d love to hear your perspective!
 
My final answer Yes on Both questions? from Grok. But we are in the dispensation of Grace and Faith in "Christ Jesus" is key to all understanding.
 
Much of what you say is correct. But I believe we must pull from Christ words in Mathews 5:17- His purpose. And his direction in Mathew 10:5 to the apostles. Everything He said was to the Jews in preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven and the Jews becoming Priest unto the Gentiles. So I believe in Paul's words in Timothy to Rightly divide the word. Especially Law and Prophecy Verses Faith and Grace. I do believe the Jewish people's day is coming when all Prophecy will come true. But during the dispensation of Grace, the Jewish Nation as a whole have harden hearts. and will not  Christ is their Messiah.
 
GROK
It seems like you're laying out a thoughtful dispensational framework, and I can see where you're heading with this. Let’s dive into the points you’ve raised and connect the dots.
You’re referencing Matthew 5:17, where Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” You see this as tied to His purpose—directed toward the Jews in preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven. Then, in Matthew 10:5-6, Jesus instructs the Twelve not to go to the Gentiles or Samaritans but to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” I get why you’d interpret this as Jesus’ earthly ministry being primarily for the Jews, setting the stage for them to become “a kingdom of priests” (Exodus 19:6) to the Gentiles in a future fulfillment.
Now, when you bring in Paul’s words from 2 Timothy 2:15—“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”—you’re emphasizing a key dispensational idea: distinguishing between different administrations of God’s plan. Law and Prophecy, you’d say, apply to Israel’s covenant and kingdom promises, while Faith and Grace define this current “Dispensation of Grace” (Ephesians 3:2), where Paul’s gospel of salvation by faith alone shines.
 
Your view seems to be that Jesus’ teachings in the Gospels were geared toward Israel’s prophetic program—preparing them for their future role—while Paul’s epistles reveal the “mystery” (Ephesians 3:3-6) of the Church, the Body of Christ, where Jew and Gentile are united under grace, apart from the Law. The Jewish nation, as you put it, has been “hardened” (Romans 11:25?) during this time, with their full prophetic destiny—think Zechariah 8 or Romans 11:26—still ahead when “all Israel shall be saved.”
I’d say you’re tracking with a classic dispensational approach here. Paul becomes the apostle to the Gentiles (Romans 11:13), delivering the message for this age, while Jesus’ words in the Gospels prep the Jews for their earthly kingdom role, paused until God resumes that program. It’s a clean divide: Law and Prophecy for Israel, Faith and Grace for the Church.
 
I agree with Grok's assessment of my Faith. I have done much research with various AI's, including several personal LLM I have loaded on my servers, Grok is well done, but still if you ask a dumb question be ready for a dumb answer. I have trained an LLM on my server to use only my material (KJB) and it does a fine job, very similar to Grok. When asking a question of GROK, be clear on the sources and extent of question you are asking. Be a Berean and verify any answer with the Bible. What I have learned is the Bible is very logical as a whole. Every verse comforms to rightly dividing the word.

Why Salvation First

Why Salvation is First?

 Because the Bible is sharper than any two-edged Sword.

[Heb 4:12 KJV] 12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Bible is the living Word of God!
If you are reading this, I hope and pray it leads you to examine your faith. And your confidence in your Salvation is supported here. I in no way wish to question your Salvation. For it is by your faith and Your Faith alone that leads to Your salvation in Christ Jesus.
To Rightly Divide the Word of God is an activity guided by the Holy Spirit, Bible reading and Prayer. A lifetime commitment to studying your Bible, the Word of Truth. But first of all, Faith is needed unto Salvation by way of Christ’s death on the Cross and Burial ” IT IS FINISHED” paid for all Sins of Man, and God’s Power thru Resurrection before one can understand rightly dividing the Word.
So if you are saved and know it and you find to content here troubling, my goal is to get you to read the Bible and tell me why I am wrong. My key is “What does the Bible say?" and why you think I am wrong. Every verse referenced in here is from the KJV, my standard of reference. I use the Blue Letter Bible for my online research

Adam and Eve open the Door to Good and Evil (Sin). Christ offer the strength to combat Evil (Sin). If you are at a point of almost believing in Christ or you need a kick to get over the line, click on this

The Bible, King James Version, is God’s inspired book to save Man from Sin thru the Blood of Christ on the Cross. He Closed one chapter and open a new chapter, with this Age of Grace, and the Body of Christ. John 19:30 “It is Finished” He paid it all. We need to Know that Grace of the Holy Spirit in us. Faith and Faith alone in Christ Jesus’ Work on the Cross. Reference 1 Cor 15 :1-4. If you need some faith building please view my Faith Building Page. Romans 8 is highly important, but first read Romans chapters 1 thru 7 and focus on Romans. 3:23 and Romans. 4:5 1 1 Cor 15 :1-4
What is the Gospel Of Salvation?
With the souls of men hanging in the eternal balance, it is extremely important to give a clear presentation of the gospel. We have always marveled at how the Holy Spirit sorts through the maze of confusion regarding the various plans of salvation that have been developed over the years. Although all these plans contain an element of truth, they leave the door open to mislead the sinner.
If you have trusted Christ as your personal Savior, why not pray and thank God for your salvation.
Beloved, the unsaved are dangling over the lake of fire by one thin thread of human existence. The only thing that standing between them and eternal judgment is the good news of Christ and Him crucified. May the Lord give us a burden for lost souls, for “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
The Scriptural Terms of Salvation is simple -Faith and Faith alone:
 Acknowledge you are sinner, “for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans. 3:23).
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died for your sins, was buried and rose again (Romans. 4:5; 1 Cor 15 :1-4)
Then how do we Rightly Divide the Word of Truth?
Once again charts are not God’s Word but fallible man efforts to understand God’s Word. Les Feldick used this in his studies. Les is in heaven now, but his websites lesfeldick.com and .org have a ton of good stuff.
Les Feldick's simple chart
It’s Not a Bingo game! It’s Bible Study of God’s Word. And Salvation allows the Holy Spirit to guide you through the Word. Each Book shows us Sin, and the Faith in God. Understanding comes from Faith in the Word of God. Even though Man (Jewish authors) wrote the Word down, God has planned the Bible since the birth of creation, Every Word totally God inspired in God’s Timing. And living with faith in Christ is a daily thing, not a Sunday thing. Rightly Dividing the Word of God is a lifetime thing.
I am a student of the Bible and a fallible man!
I am just a student of the bible. I enjoy reading God’s Word every day. At 75, I have heard much from many sources. What I consider most important is his Death, Burial, and the Power of the Resurrection. The Word of God is important and how it is rightly divided. I do believe our Study must include all Scripture with the Holy Spirit being our teacher. Every Word is essential, to be faithful to God and to understand what he wants to accomplish in me. The Holy Spirit is the interpreter of his words into our understanding of the Bible as a whole. That’s why I always say.
What does the Bible say?
2 Timothy 2:15
  It is important to read 14-19 to get the context and truth. I try to get the total thought of the verses used here.

Trump is Ready to Serve

As I said before Donald Trump will win. And he is ready to serve!
Trump in 2024
Will they let him serve. I hope so because he is protected by the Almighty. And America is fighting for his leadership. We all are for a change, by praying and voting for him. God appoints our leaders and all the leaders of this world. And his plan is moving forward winning more soles for Christ. I thought, as many did, that the age of grace was coming to an end and 70th week was near, but God must see many more soles to save. What will God do with America toward that Goal is yet to be seen. But it will be exciting.
We have come together in prayer as a nation. And we want to see great things happen. Never before in my lifetime have I seen so much faith in God toward a leader.
Oh sure he has a mouth that can be irritating, but lately he is saying focused most the time to become a leader again. He knows the Value of God's love. So he has many great people ready to go to work and bring the best out of America.
Keep in mind God's Goal will not change. He sent his Son to die so that we can have everlasting life. Paul, The Apostle to us all, using his epistle, he explains the mysteries to this age of Grace and the Body of Christ we are in. Paul is man who endured many hardships to bring his gospel to the world which is detailed in 1 Cor 15:1-4. Christ a perfect man carrying the sins of the world he triumph by shedding his blood unto death. He was in the ground and by the Power of God, all according to the scripture, he was resurrected from death to life and then transformed and sits at the right hand God the Father.
After seeing the corruption of the last 4 years, we now know why Donald Trump and all of us had to endure. It is a reminder of our trust. It is Faith and Faith alone in Christ Jesus and his word, that is needed.

Being Berean

Being Berean

A note up front! I, Danvillie have been on this world 3/4 of a century. I am a believer in the Bible. Every Word is of GOD and for edification of believers. I have found the King James Bible my preferred choice as for accuracy and completeness. Furthermore, I am, in no way, gifted in any form. I do enjoy the Bible, and I thank God for his Grace to save a wretch like me. I do believe Faith and Faith Alone is the Only path to Salvation. When I say being berean, I only mean Study the Scriptures Daily, as in Act 17:10-12.

The phrase "being Berean" (or "to be a Berean") draws directly from the King James Bible in the New Testament, specifically Acts 17:11 (KJV):

"These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

This verse describes the Jews in the city of Berea (modern-day Veria in Greece) during the Apostle Paul's missionary journey. After facing opposition in Thessalonica, Paul and Silas went to Berea, where they preached in the synagogue. Unlike many in Thessalonica who reacted with hostility or closed-mindedness, the Bereans were commended for their noble (or "more fair-minded/open-minded") character. The key is to study scripture daily to be prepared to counter misstatement in this world. There are absolutes in our Faith in Christ, such as our Salvation being eternal. I believe that we can differ on other issues the KJ bible presents that we each may see differently depending on our walk,and I hope to discuss these points.
