We learn from church history that during the time of the Apostle Paul the religious background of the Jews and the cultural background of the Gentiles created problems in the church life. Although the Jews and the Gentiles were genuine believers in the Lord Jesus, they brought with them into the church life their concepts from their backgrounds, the Jews bringing their religious beliefs and the Gentiles their philosophical concepts. Some so-called Gentile believers considered that their philosophy corresponded to much of biblical teaching. AS A RESULT, the saints found it DIFFICULT TO BE ONE. .. Thus, Paul told the believers that Christ is for both the circumcision and for the nations...Christ embraces both Jews and Gentiles together as one Body. Thus, we must FORGET our Jewish or Gentiles background, our religious or philosophical background, and keep Christ as our Unique Concept. WE MUST HAVE NOTHING BUT CHRIST. if someone should ask you about philosophy, you should reply, I dont know any philosophy. What I know is only Christ. If someone asks you a question about religion, you should respond, I have no religion. Christ is my life and my everything. I only have Christ. (Life Study of Romans - Bro. Witness Lee )
