Featured Would Paul write what he never preached?

As Paul wrote most of his letters from prison, in Rome, then answer would be no, he didn't preach any of those letters to the churches that is noted, he just wrote them as letters.

 

No, all the Letters Paul wrote, especially the doctrinal aspects, for instance Eph 1-3 are things that He preached as the Gospel of God's Grace, or would have Preached if had the Opportunity. If He did not directly preach to a People, someone of like precious faith did. But Paul never wrote anything new or what the recipient's never previously heard in the preaching of the gospel. All His Letters served as instruments in confirming the testimony of the Gospel already having been received at an earlier date !

 

Paul visited, and established the church at Corinth, on his second missionary journey. The book of 1st Corinthians was written during his third missionary journey (my study Bible says from Philippi, although I have read elsewhere it was Ephesus). Paul was imprisoned twice, once in Judea and once in Rome and spent even a lot of his traveling while under guard, from my understanding. We think of letter writing as sitting down and writing but some of these letters took a very long while to write and then were passed from church to church while being delivered.

So, evidently 1st Corinthians was not written from prison, but from either Philippi or Ephesus on his 2nd missionary journey.

I so disagree with you SBM. Paul received reports, such as the one received regarding the trouble in the church at Corinth. He sat down and wrote them a letter. It may, or may not, have been something preached before. How could he have preached about them having sexual sin in the church before it happened? He didn't. Paul's recorded sermons were all about his personal salvation experience. I can't recall a single one that was anything else.

Thats ok, Paul could have received reports from all His Missionary Journeys ! I am sure he did ! That would be nothing uncommon !

 

Lovely, we agree on this. However, you said that everything Paul wrote he'd already preached. Not true. He could not have preached about something so specific that had not yet occured. This is what I am disagreeing with you on.

 

The resurrection of Christ from the dead is a Gospel Truth, it was Preached in the OT and understood to a degree in the OT. Job knew of the resurrection when He stated this Job 19:25

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

Jesus said His Death and Resurrection was fulfillment of Scripture from the OT
scriptures !

1 Cor 15:3-4

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:[/B]

God Preached the Gospel, the same Gospel to Abraham saying Gal 3:8

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

 

Would he, could he, did he? I wasn't there (in spite of my son's comment once upon a time that he though I lived during caveman's time LOL). It's the doctrine of resurrection, so could he have preached a sermon on it? I suppose so, but I don't know that Paul ever preached any sermon other than his own personal testimony. I can not recall one instance in scripture where a recorded sermon of Paul's is anything other than his personal testimony.
Would he have? Again, I answer the same...Paul, to the best of my knowledge, used his preaching time to share his personal testimony. The letters he wrote to the church in Corinth addressed issues and problems they were having.

 

Yes ! Anything Paul wrote of a Doctrinal Nature to any Church or group of Individuals was the same Gospel He preached to them in Person or some other Apostle or Apostle's co Labourer preached to them in Person !

 

Sorry to have confused, but I gave the example that Paul wrote to the church in Corinth about the immorality going on in their church, about the confusion in services, etc. I said he could not have preached on these things at the Church in Corinth because previous to his writing the letter they had not yet occured.

Christ's resurrection had definitely occured prior to Paul's writing to the church in Corinth. As I have stated before, to the best of my knowledge and by all accounts of Paul's sermons given in scripture he did not preach specifically on the resurrection but gave his own personal testimony time and again. So DID he PREACH I Corinthians 15? If he did it's not recorded in scripture.

 

I do understand what you are saying, yes. The difference lays in preaching and writing. In THIS instance Paul is not preaching, but writing. Did he preach this specific issue elsewhere? It's not recorded. Acts 17 is his sermon on Mars Hill, Acts 24 when he speaks to the High Priest and Elders, Acts 25 when he stands before Festus, and Acts 25& 26 when he stands before Agrippa. If I am missing any, please let me know.

 

Yes for the Elect Chosen in Him, but not for the non elect, though they will be raised by His Power also ! But their resurrection is not connected to Christ's , for He is not the Firstfruit of theirs as He is of His Body the Church !
