Apostolic Letters15 Jun
The general letters, otherwise known as the non-Pauline epistles are those letters that were not written by Paul. They are Hebrews, James, 1 & 2 Peter, 1,2,3 John, and Jude. You will see the teaching of Jesus all over these books in very practical ways. Another strong admonition in these letters is against false teaching. Very early in the church, people began to take pieces of what Jesus had taught, and combine them with their own ideas in order to produce all kinds of strange doctrines. Because of the opportunity that the Apostles had to hear and live with Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit reminding them of what Jesus taught, they had first-hand knowledge to repel false doctrines about Jesus. Really let this reading sink in.
