This book was written in order according to this man, which means from the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ until His ascendancy in the heaven and the happening those happened when He was here on our earth was mentioned in this book.

This book introduced first the Theophilus and started (1:5) with Zacharias — Father of John the Baptist, his mother was the Elisabeth and this couple walk on the right path and blameless in the sight of God.

This book was introduced first the John the Baptist especially his family before the family of Christ as son of God and the Christ.

• The book of John

In this book also has notion that Christ was a man said by Himself on John 8:40 and sounds confusing due to some claimed that differ from the other claimed that available on some verses.

This book also mentioned that the Satan was the father of liar, a murderer from the beginning and there was no truth in him on 8:44. The most favorite verse and chapters was the 3:16 of this book that almost God – believer memorized this verse.

• The book of Acts

The books of acts were the circumstances happened in the first Christians especially their works and that was the reason why this book was called as a book of acts.

Might this book was written by Luke as well due to on the 1:1 mentioned there "former treatise have I made, O Theophilus" notice the name Theophilus, this name was mentioned on the chapter 1 verse 3 on the book of Luke. The next phrases were "all that began both to do and teach" by Christ and signifies that this book had recorded all the things those done by Christ and His teachings. Also has works of apostles, evangelists and other important people.

• The book of Romans

In this book, on 1:1 mentioned there that Apostle Paul was a servant of Jesus Christ.  The epistle was for the brethren in the place of Rome and that was the main and possible reason why this book was called Romans due to the scriptures was for the Romans. The Roman people are Gentiles.

On the chapter 16 verse 21, this verse was the salute portion and on the verse 22 was claimed by Tertius that he was wrote the book of the Romans. In short, the writer of the book of Romans was Tertius dictated by Apostle Paul and the last portion of this book was mentioned that the God only wise.

• 1^st Corinthians

The 1:1 mentioned there that the Apostle Paul was called by God to be Apostle of Jesus Christ. The next verse stated there that the Apostle Paul was called on the Church of God. We can simply conclude that the Apostle Paul was called on the Church of God due to the verse two is the continuation of the verse one.

In this book, mentioned there that the Christ was the wisdom of God on the chapter 1 verse 24.

According to Apostle Paul, "they speak the wisdom of God through mystery, even the hidden wisdom and that wisdom was ordained by God before the world" on the chapter 2 verse 7.

On the chapter 2 verse 15 that the person who in spirit judges all things. Not judges in according to what he/she heard and what he/ she saw on 11:3 on the book of Isaiah; was mentioned with this book that the spirit of God dwells on the holy people on the chapter 3 verse sixteen if we base in the bible.

There are many gods and lords said by Apostle Paul on the chapter 8:5.

• 2^nd Corinthians

This book was the next of the 1^st epistle in the brethren in the Church of God in the place of Corinth.

• Galatians

The book of Galatians was written by Apostle Paul in the brethren in Galicia. Apostle Paul said that if anyone that preaches other gospel other than the gospel of Christ let him be accursed on 1:8. The gospel of Christ is on the above mentioned.

Apostle Paul admitted that he was persecuted the Church of God in the past when he was in the Jew’s religion base on the chapter 1:13.  Apostle Paul was a chosen person, separated by God from (1:15) his mother womb.

He wrote to the brethren in Galicia that there were false brethren (2:4) those entered to spy inside of the church. Titus as a Greek was uncircumcised on 2:3.

• Book of Ephesians

There was introduction like to the other books mentioned about Apostle Paul as an apostle of Jesus Christ. In this Holy Scripture mentioned base on the 2:4 that the God is rich in mercy and we are dead caused by sin in the continuation of the said verse and chapter.

On the 2:10 said by Apostle Paul that we are the workmanship of God; see and focus to the word "we" which means plurality and not generality. In this case not all people in the world are workmanship by God for good works.

• Philippians

On the first verse and chapter was introduced the deacons and the bishops.  On the 2:10 was mentioned that there are knees that will bow in the Lord under the earth. For us, the knees beneath the earth is a mystery due to no one saw that there are people like us those live under the earth but worms and other animals’ creatures. 

There was a brother named Epahroditus (2:25 – 27) was said by Apostle Paul that his life was endanger due to hard work for Christ but God had mercy on him.

3:2 Apostle gave warned to the brethren on the Church of God that they should beware of Dogs which symbolized to the shepherds which have no understanding. 

In terms of understanding, might refer to the general understanding, not understanding which has limitations or has selection in someone.

The understanding has with fair, if the person who understand is does of fair. If the preacher of the particular religion refused to investigate the other part, get the other side due to he has no appetite with that person/people or he was angry with that person, that preacher has no understanding, a preacher that can be considered as a judge with evil mind.

Same also with the workers that mentioned on the above verse and chapter, if the worker has no understanding, judges the brother/sister that the brethren should beware of them/him/her without investigating, even though they did not see the heart of that people, we can conclude those workers, preachers and pastors are fakes. In short, those mentioned are not God- fearing – people. We should careful in those people.

•  Colossians

Christ is the body (1:18) of the church and the first born from the dead. The gospel was preached in all creatures which are under the heaven and the Apostle Paul was made minister of it. Christ was hidden in Him (2:3) the treasures of wisdom and all knowledge.

• 1^st Timothy

Timothy was son of Apostle Paul in faith 1:2. This book was for Timothy and the first epistle to Timothy.  On 1:17 the invisible, immortal and the only wise God. This verse might the reason those people interpreted that the God was only one due to this verse that mentioned "only wise God."

• 2^nd Timothy

The second epistle of Apostle Paul for Timothy, the mother of Timothy was Eunice and we have no idea whether Timothy was a biological son of Eunice or mother in faith.

The book of Philemon was written by hand of Apostle Paul base on the 1:19.

The epistle of Apostle Paul in the brethren’s Hebrew

This book states that the God spoke in the people through His (1:1) prophets.  In the previous age before the existence of the Lord Jesus Christ, the prophets used by God as His device to communicate the people and in the last days, Christ used by God as His device to communicate the people base on the 1:2.

The next verse after the verse two stated there that the Christ was expressing the image of the person by God Father.

• The book of Apostle James

The introduction of the Apostle James to his epistle was the 12 tribes which referred to the twelve sons of Jacob which in his times those twelve tribes are scattered abroad.

• 2^nd Peter

The second epistle of Apostle Peter, this man was a fisherman unlike Apostle Paul, Apostle Paul was an educated person and there was part on the bible stated there due to learning of him, which was the reason of his unsound minded said by one person in him.
