NO DOUBT!!! And it would probably be a Scriptural 40 pages long!
The question is:
Would organized church (i.e., what Church has become) leaders open the letter?
Or, because of how many “ships have sailed” over the last 1800 years – dogma, fear mongering, customs, practices, traditions of which a significant number were acquired by merger – would Paul’s letter get thrown into the shredder?

Talking to my Christian Brother, Brian, this morning (12/11/23), I think I misrepresented Paul’s one question he would ask the church in America. Brian reminded me that Paul prescribed practices, among them head covering for women and facial hair for men: perhaps the starting point for a New Law. So, I don’t know if he would even ask a question.
The question, "God's Perfect Sacrifice freed you from the Law so, why have you established a New Law?" is mine alone.
Simple but extremely significant.
Thus would help believers #reset their focus.
After prayer, Paul could probably list 96 or more questions he would ask. But they all distill down to this one:
"God's Perfect Sacrifice freed you from the Law so, why have you established a New Law?"
Rick,
If Paul posed a question to Church leaders, what do you think it would be?
