The Third Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians or 3 Thessalonians also known as the The Third Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians, is a letter May or May not be Written By St. Paul to the Church at Thessalonika. Not like the first two epistles to the church, in which Paul expressed love and help to the Christians inside the Place of thessalonians while attempting to answer their questions, the apostle completely loses it within the third epistle, and liberally sprinkles his escathology use some phrases like “Idiots” and “Fools"
Authenticity
Debates over the authenticity of 3 Thessalonians have raged due to the fact that at least the second century. Origen reputedly knew of it, but become too busy writing Contra Celsum (towards Celsus) to prepare a remark. Eusebius mentions the letter in his Historia Ecclesia, but the Work changed into concept misplaced until it changed into located in a leather-certain manuscript in Cairo in 1993..It changed into lost round third Century, Eusbieus knew it by Quotings of Origen. Thessalonians surely had trouble in Understanding the Doctrine,so this Epistle may be actual .

Composition/Dating
If third Thessalonians is true, it became likely composed someday among 55th and 56th A.D., possibly in Athens. Closer to the end of the letter, Paul mentions that he changed into “making plans a ride to Ephesus until I got your modern day idiotic correspondence.” (third Thess. 5:6) He mentions that Timothy and Silvanus were nonetheless with him, “and believe, as I do, that a Dog may want to learn our instructions faster than you.” (three Thess. 1:2)however, the letter might have been written later: Paul provides that he turned into inside the center of writing an epistle to the Romans, “but permit me positioned that apart so i will deal with your questions on how to arrange the chairs at some point of Mass.” (third Thess. 3;17).
This composition date might pass to AD 58

Teachings
(2:14) I prayed that you would be the foundations of a new people, Just like Peter became the foundation for a new church.
(3:11) The dead in Christ[or in Grace of Christ] go to heaven first.
(4:4) Offer you each other a kiss, or the soul brother handshake, if appropriate. When yoy sing, sing of/on the glory of God. (4:5) Do not engage in sexual immorality or thoughts that will defile the temple (similar to John 2) which Christ has built in your hearts. (4:6) When you sing "Proud Mary," sing it slowly and pensively. (4:7) An up-tempo (sing song Fast) version leads to evil thoughts. (4:8) As such, brethren, you must sing all songs slowly and pensively, for no evil thoughts can be allowed in the house of God. (4:9) For his is a holy house, founded on truth and life, and the Spirit resideth in this house, bringing new life to all who come to dwell in God.
Reason of Writing the Letter
The First two presently Canonical epistles to the Thessalonians were Written for Advice, and to answer the questions about the Prayer and functioning of the new church and Concerning the resurrection of the dead. Third Thessalonians suggests that these letters was Difficult to Understand to the Church of Thessalonians:
We are bound to thank God for thou, as thy faith and love for one another groweth. And yet, we also wonder what exactly it will take for thou to put two and two together. (3 Thess 1:4-6)
Conclusion- This Epistle is Good to be Read,but this epistle contain some words like Fools and Idiot. It cannot be Deemed As Scripture, but like My other Post I feel it Genuine written by Paul.
