Untitled document-2 Essays - Pauline Epistles,

Philemon Paper Skyler Coryell Philemon is a letter that paul wrote and is a letter that is in the Bible. Paul wrote a lot of letters that are in the Bible, and this is just one of them. In this paper we will figure out why Paul wrote this letter, what Paul wanted to do to fix the problem that is within the letter, what Paul's argumentation is and how I think his argumentation is proposed, and why this letter is specifically in the bible and what we can learn from this letter being in the Bible. This isn't the only meaningful letter in the Bible but we are going to look why this one is meaningful and why it is in the Bible for a certain reason. Paul writes this letter because he sends a slave back to his owner, but he wants the owner to welcome the slave back into his place. He wants him to welcome the slave back not only just to be a slave but he wants him to welcome him back as a brother of Christ. This letter isn't addressed to only one person it is addressed to three people those three people are, Philemon, Apphia, and Archippus plus the church in Philemon's house. This letter comes to them because Paul send the letter with slave. Pauls basically is returning the slave back to the owner and these men and he writes them this letter. In the letter Paul tries to help the slave out for when he returns him to the slave owner and the place he ran away from. In the letter Paul said that he could have kept the slave away from the owner and could have kept him free, but he wanted to give him back to the owner because he thought that he deserved to have him back but he also wanted him to be able to have his rights in a certain way. Paul had a specific request/proposal for them to do with Onesimus, the slave, he wanted them to accept/welcome him in as a christian brother. He also offered to pay for any debt created by Onesimus' departure. He offered to do this because he had a desire that Philemon might have refreshed his heart in Christ. I don't think that Paul was really giving an argument, I think he was more giving a request and proposal. He was looking out for the slave and he was trying to make people closer with not only each other but Christ. He was hoping that these people would help themselves by getting closer with Christ and bringing them together as people in Christ. But I think he could have done something better rather than give the slave back to the owner, I feel like he could have helped the slave and could have just set him free. He could have let the slave continue to run away rather than send him back but he thought that would be wrong because he thought Christ would be upset with him. To convince them he tells them he will pay for the debt as long as he accepts him as a brother of Christ and he wants them to refresh their hearts with Christ. He also tells them that he wishes to visit them and asks them to prepare a guest bedroom for them. A personal letter like this is in the Bible because they want to show us what Christ can do when people are in need and are in trouble. I believe they also put this in here for some history of our nation and what happened in the past. I think they want to show us that even though this was a very hard time for this slave and for the owner, but they showed that two people that are opposites and that aren't supposed to like each other can be brought together by Christ. I believe there are multiple things that we can learn from this letter. I believe that we can learn that Christ can truly change things from a bad situation into a better situation just by bringing people together that don't deserve to. I think the
