What does the uniform order of Paul's epistles indicate about the Holy Spirit?
The uniform order of Paul's epistles indicates the Holy Spirit hovered over that portion of the New Testament, preventing anyone from tampering with it. While other sections appear in varying orders across manuscripts, Paul's letters remain identical, showing they are exactly where they belong, from Romans through Hebrews.
Les explains that among existing New Testament manuscripts, the Gospels and the smaller epistles at the end appear in various orders, but Paul's epistles are always in the same identical order. He sees this as evidence that the Holy Spirit hovered over that part of the New Testament so that no one could fool with it. It is exactly where it belongs, from Romans through Hebrews. This reinforces why he spends so much time on Paul's epistles, because God called Paul as the Apostle of the Gentiles and inspired him to write the biggest part of the New Testament.
