orthotomeo (ὀρθοτομέω, 3718), lit., “to cut straight” (orthos, “straight,” temno, “to cut”), is found in 2 Tim. 2:15, kjv, “rightly dividing,” rv, “handling aright” (the word of truth); the meaning passed from the idea of cutting or “dividing,” to the more general sense of “rightly dealing with a thing.” What is intended here is not “dividing” Scripture from Scripture, but teaching Scripture accurately. In the Sept., of directing one’s paths, Prov. 3:6 and 11:5 (“righteousness traces out blameless paths”). 1. to cut straight: τὰς ὁδούς, to cut straight ways, i.e. to proceed by straight paths, hold a straight course, equiv. to to do right (for ישֵׁר), Prov. 3:6; 11:5, (viam secare, Verg. Aen. 6, 899). 2. dropping the idea of cutting, to make straight and smooth; Vulg. recte tracto, to handle aright: τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας, i.e. to teach the truth correctly and directly, 2 Tim. 2:15; τὸν ἀληθῆ λόγον, Eustath. opusce. p. 115, 41. (Not found elsewhere [exc. in eccles. writ. (W. 26); e. g. constt. apost. 7, 31 ἐν τ. τοῦ κυρίου δόγμασιν; cf. Suicer ii. 508 sq.]. Cf. καινοτομέω, to cut new veins in mining; dropping the notion of cutting, to make something new, introduce new things, make innovations or changes, etc.) 2 Timothy 2:15 (Word Studies in the New Testament): Rightly dividing (ὀρθοτομοῦντα). N. T.o. oClass. In LXX, Prov. 3:6; 11:5; both times in the sense of directing the way. From ὀρθός straight and τέμνειν to cut. Hence to cut straight, as paths; to hold a straight course; generally, to make straight; to handle rightly. Vulg. recte tractare. The thought is that the minister of the gospel is to present the truth rightly, not abridging it, not handling it as a charlatan (see on 2 Cor. 2:17), not making it a matter of wordy strife (ver. 14), but treating it honestly and fully, in a straightforward manner. Various homiletic fancies have been founded on the word, as, to divide the word of truth, giving to each hearer what he needs: or, to separate it into its proper parts: or, to separate it from error: or, to cut straight through it, so that its inmost contents may be laid bare. Others, again, have found in it the figure of dividing the bread, which is the office of the household steward; or of dividing the sacrificial victims; or of cutting a straight furrow with the plough.

Mr. Feldick in his study of 2 Corinthians chapter 3:6-18 Book /Dvd # 30 Lesson 2 Part 4, he said " If the Lord tarries and I go by way of the valley of the shadow of death and I'm off the scene, he wanted us to be able to remember that he was constantly trumpeting the difference between Law and Grace. On April 5th 2023 the Lord called Mr Feldick home. I truly believe that every person that is a student of his teachings know the difference between Law which could do nothing but condemn. It was never given to save anyone but only to show Jews and Gentiles alike their sinful nature. But God's unmerited favor (Grace) is the work of the Holy Spirit that giveth life freely to every one that believes with all of their heart the Gospel of the Grace of God. Faith plus nothing. 1CORINTHIANS 15:1-4. Rest in Peace. Please God watch over the family as only You can do!

Can someone help me understand this - I agree with Mr. Feldick that the gospel preached before Christ died and rose, was called the kingdom gospel, was preached primarily to the Jews, and was alive during Christ ministry on earth before the cross. Then Paul became an apostle and brought the gospel of grace to the entire world, so yes, I agree there were two gospels, but didn’t the law of grace replace the kingdom gospel?

My true faith is manifest by my works, how I live, I cannot earn salvation through faith, but it should shine through my life by works. That’s how I understand James 2 so that it does not contradict the acceptance of the gospel. To say ‘I believe’ without transforming life actions is not accepting the gospel at all, it is greed of taking without repentance and transformation as the Holy Spirit continues to refine our walk.

These men from Judea didn’t believe Paul was preaching truth from God. And the 12 never told their group to go to gentiles, they went on their own accord. We see in acts 15 that James said “we didn’t send them” The 12 knew their ministry was to Jews. But these trouble makers didn’t care, they went ahead into gentile preaching what they knew.
