Why the New Testament Is in Chaotic Order | The Hidden Disaster in Church History

For over 1,700 years, Christians have unknowingly read the New Testament in a chaotic, non-chronological order—and the consequences have been enormous. In this eye-opening teaching, Gene Edwards reveals the greatest disaster in church history, a mistake so profound that it reshaped Catholicism, Protestantism, and modern evangelical Christianity as we know it. How the New Testament got in it… This message explains how the New Testament—especially Paul’s letters—was assembled not by spiritual insight, but by a pagan bookbinder who arranged the letters by length instead of history. As a result, believers lost the story, the flow, and the living context of first-century Christianity. In this teaching, you’ll discover:

Why Paul’s letters are not theological treatises

How chronology reveals a living, unfolding story

What happened in the “missing years” of Paul’s life

Why verse-by-verse Christianity misses the bigger picture

How restoring order restores understanding

Why the New Testament was meant to be read as a story, not fragments

 

This message invites believers into a revolutionary way of reading Scripture—one that restores clarity, beauty, and spiritual coherence to the New Testament.

Let’s do it in sequence. Let’s study the Lord’s life in the order he lived them, not in the redundancy of four books, but blend them together. Then let us flow into Acts, and then when you get to chapter 13 of Acts, stop right there. Pentecost began on the day of 30 AD.  We’ve come to Acts 13:1, and you begin to read the background of the first piece of Christian literature ever penned, and you get the background to it. And when you come to Chapter 15:40, right there, Paul writes Galatians. And then by the time you get to Acts 18, you have the writing of 1 Thessalonians. 2 Thessalonians. You’re covering the years 50, 51, and 52.

All of that, to the very end, you will find in this book, if you will take this DVD. Read this book and then take into your hands: Revolutionary Bible study. Revolutionary Bible study. It will guide you through every step of reading the New Testament, and when you have finished, you’ll come to the same conclusion that I came to.

You come to a very simple conclusion: so that’s what they had in century 1. It doesn’t at all look like what we have in century 21.

Then, with a clear conscience, you begin to go back to the first motions: century 1. A lot of times, you’ll hear people telling you about “we have a New Testament church”. No, sir, you have a New Testament arranged in absolute chaos, and every one of Paul’s letters and all the other letters of the New Testament are presented to you as a stand-alone treatise, an analysis, something to be studied, looked upon, and then go to whatever is next listed in the index of your New Testament.

My name is Gene Edwards. Welcome to a whole new world and join that few number of people who say breathlessly, Wow. I got a brand-new New Testament. I got a brand-new Lord. I know what happened in century 1, and I’m beginning to get a glimpse of the church as it is supposed to be.
