Things New and Old: And they shall be all taught of God

Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

And they shall be all taught of God

#Taught_of_God

John 6:45 "It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."

Permit me to ask a few questions. Please assist me in rightly understanding the passage.

Thank you.

1. Who are "they" that shall be all taught of God?

2. How shall they be taught of God?

3. Is "they all" and "every man" co-extensive?

4. Is the hearing the direct result of having been taught of God?

5. Is the learning the direct result of having heard what is taught by God?

6. Is the coming unto Christ the direct effect of being taught of God?

7. What is the coming spoken of?

8. Is there a distinction in the expressions "taught of God" and "hath learned of the Father"?

9. Is a 3rd party needed for a man to be taught of God?

10. Is a 3rd party needed for a man to hear and learn of the Father?
