How many of Paul's epistles were written to the Church, and what are they called?
Seven of Paul’s epistles were written to the Church, and they are called the Church Epistles. Their number is seven, which is God’s perfect number, but Paul did not design the count; he wrote as appropriate, and seven letters were for the Church.
Les teaches that this lesson turns from the timeline of all Scripture to a timeline covering Paul’s Church Epistles. According to the transcript, there are 7 of Paul’s Epistles written to the Church, and they are called the Church Epistles. The number 7 is identified as God’s perfect number, but Paul did not sit down and try to divide his letters to arrive at that number. Instead, Paul wrote those letters as it was appropriate, and it simply fell out that there were 7 written for the Church. The lesson also notes that everything in Scripture fits together from Genesis to Revelation and is so programmed that no human could have dreamed it up.
