Hi, lousianared... Welcome to the forum! Is this a homework question? With a tiny bit of effort, I bet you could answer at least the first three questions yourself, by simply reading the 1 Timothy. In Him, Doc |

4403 | KJV only movement | 2 Timothy | DocTrinsograce | 131679 | ||
No, King James ordered "That a translation be made of the whole Bible, as consonant as can be to the original Hebrew and Greek; and this to be set out and printed, without any marginal notes, and only to be used in all churches of England in time of divine service." The 1611 version had a title page that read, "THE NEWE Testament of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST. Newly Translated out of the Originall Greeke: and with the former Translations diligently compared and revised, by his Majesties speciall Commandment. IMPRINTED at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majestie. ANNO DOM. 1611. Cum Privilegio." Note that neither of these quotes contain the word "Latin." (Jerome's Latin Vulgate might have been consulted as part of the translators' resources, but we know of a certainty that his Greek texts were used.) |

Dear shellnric7, Welcome to the forum! I do not believe that there are any passages relating to children in an eschatological context. Unless, perhaps you are thinking of 2 Timothy 3? In Him, Doc |

4408 | Help with depression | 2 Tim 1:7 | DocTrinsograce | 144169 | ||
Dear DIM, It is interesting that the Scriptures do not explictly address depression, at least not in the way we think of it today. (Perhaps, if someone knows otherwise, they can identify the passages.) This forum does not purport to give personal counsel or advice. We would all encourage you to seek the direction of your pastor or elders. I believe that there are two kinds of problems: Physical problems and Spiritual problems. Perhaps you should rule out the various physical maladies that might be troubling you by checking with your doctor. In the mean time, we will be praying for you. In Him, Doc PS Perhaps the following messages will help: http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/sg50-2.htm http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/sg50-3.htm In addition, the following web site might help as well: http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/ |

4409 | Timothy's holy calling | 2 Tim 1:9 | DocTrinsograce | 241270 | ||
Hi, 00123... Notice that the pronoun is "us" not "you." This is the calling of all believers to a life of holiness (Hebrews 3:1). Whereas we were once sinners and enemies (Ephesians 1:18; 4:1), now purchased (Acts 20:28) we belong entirely to God, separated from the world. In Him, Doc |

"When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favourites, and afterwards throw theminto prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God's call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed.God blots out His people's sins, but not their names." --Thomas Watson (d. 1686) | ||||||

4412 | Discipleship foundations? | 2 Tim 2:2 | DocTrinsograce | 130169 | ||
This passage comes to mind, along with John 15:7-8 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (8) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. Thus, studying what Jesus taught His disciples and what Paul taught those he mentored might be the way to go. Of course, that covers a lot of territority. Titus is an awsome little book, too. It contains instruction on right doctrine and right deeds. You could have everyone read it every day for a month in preparation. Its really a rich little book. I've taught using Jerry Bridges "Pursuit of Holiness." That sort of thing might be a bit more structured approach. I guess I'm not being too much help, huh? :-) |

4413 | do you have to be ordained to preach | 2 Tim 2:2 | DocTrinsograce | 130566 | ||
No, but you must be ordained to marry people. But preach the Word alone (expositorily), and remember Luke 17:1-2 and James 3:1, and pray! Here's an excellent prayer of Puritan Preachers: My Master God, I am desired to preach today, but go weak and needy to my task; Yet I long that people might be edified with divine truth, that an honest testimony might be borne for thee; Give me assistance in preaching and prayer, with heart uplifted for grace and unction. Present to my view things pertinent to my subject, with fullness of matter and clarity of thought, proper expressions, fluency, fervency, a feeling sense of the things I preach, and grace to apply them to men's consciences. Keep me conscious all the while of my defects, and let me not gloat in pride over my performance. Help me to offer a testimony for thyself, and to leave sinners inexcusable in neglecting thy mercy. Give me freedom to open the sorrows of thy people, and to set before them comforting considerations. Attend with power the truth preached, and awaken the attention of my slothful audience. May thy people be refreshed, melted, convicted, comforted, and help me to use the strongest arguments drawn from Christ's incarnation and sufferings, that men might be made holy. I myself need thy support, comfort, strength, holiness, that I might be a pure channel of thy grace, and be able to do something for thee; Give me then refreshment among thy people, and help me not to treat excellent matter in a defective way, or bear broken testimony to so worthy a redeemer, or be harsh in treating of Christ's death, its design and end, from lack of warmth and fervency. And keep me in tune with thee as I do this work. |

4415 | Are the heathen lost? | 2 Tim 2:15 | DocTrinsograce | 138966 | ||
Hi, Titanic13... welcome to the forum... Heathen, broadly speaking, means an unbeliver. Since belief is a necessary ingredient of salvation, one must conclude that the heathen are lost. In your paper you might do a careful study of the word itself as it is used in the Bible. The word heathen is ethos in Greek and goee in Hebrew. Generally you can substitute the word Gentile and retain the proper sense of a passage. You should also keep in mind that heathen has a distinctly perjorative connotation. Heathens typically do not enjoy being called heathens. Which thing -- in the typical nature in which my neurons fire in a purely random fashion -- reminds me of joke I once heard: "An agnostic is a person who says 'I know nothing of God,' and gets angry when you agree with him."

4416 | Resources concerning Gospel of Thomas? | 2 Tim 2:15 | DocTrinsograce | 142616 | ||
Hi there, brother Colin... As you go about your research, you might seek out studies of the gospel and epistles of John. It is clear that he was familiar with some of these pseudopygraphal writings. Some of them actually put words into his mouth! He was quite concerned with gnosticism. Of course, one problem with those writings is that they tend to contradict the canonical scriptures. This is part of the problem with the apocryphal writings. Anyway... maybe there are a couple of thoughts here that will help you in your search. In Him, Doc PS Here is an interesting article on your subject: http://www.equip.org/free/DG040-1.htm http://www.equip.org/free/DG040-2.htm |

4417 | Using Love as Jesus | 2 Tim 2:15 | DocTrinsograce | 160216 | ||
Hi, Jay... The only way to begin to answer that question would be to look at everything that Christ taught about love, and everything the apostles taught about love. The real question is rooted there. Equipped with that knowledge one might be able to speculate how Jesus would "use his love." Of course, that would only be speculative. Furthermore, remember there are loving things that we are commanded to do that Jesus would not do. Someone will probably try to give you a simple, trite answer -- we have people who specialize in that here -- but it really is not a simple question. It will require a lot of digging. In Him, Doc PS Someone will probably say something about 1 Corinthians 13... but that is a chapter that shows our utter inability to show true love. It is part of the answer, but only a small part. PSS In your study of the word, you might want to avail yourself of my notes in the thread of post 156916. That will help you avoid "reading into" the text what isn't there, and to know when others are doing so. |

4419 | reaching other people | 2 Tim 2:15 | DocTrinsograce | 172556 | ||
Dear Theology PHD, None of the lost believe in the verbal plenary inspiration of Scripture. Lack of belief in what God has said is fundamental to their nature. Indeed, it is at the root of original sin! Furthermore, there is no single best way. God doesn't lead us to learn methods and rules. He didn't give us the great commission because He needed help. The purpose of missions is worship of the Father (John 4:20-24). He engages us in this activity (Matthew 28:18-20) that we might depend on Him. Consequently, the first thing to do is pray (1 Thessalonians 5:17). The second thing to do is to seek His grace to walk close to Him in the worship for which He has sought you out (Colossians 2:6). The third thing to do is to study Scriptures so that you will be able to give a cogent answer as to why you believe what you believe (1 Peter 3:15; 2 Timothy 2:15) -- like the verbal plenary inspiration of Scripture. Evangelism requires our sweat, even though it is fully a work of God. In Him, Doc "Let us arouse ourselves to the sternest fidelity, labouring to win souls as much as if it all depended wholly upon ourselves, while we fall back, in faith, upon the glorious fact that everything rests with the eternal God." --Charles H. Spurgeon "Evangelism and theology for the most part go separate ways, and the result is great loss for both. When theology is not held on course by the demands of evangelistic communcation, it grows abstract and speculative, wayward in method, theoretical in interest and irresponsible in stance. When evangelism is not fertilized, fed and controlled by theology, it becomes a stylized performance seeking its effect through manipulative skills rather than the power of vision and the force of truth. Both theology and evangelism are then, in one important sense, unreal, false to their own God-given nature; for all true theology has an evangelistic thrust, and all true evangelism is theology in action." --James I. Packer "We must recognize the different types of persons, and we must learn to discriminate between them. There is nothing so pathetic or so unscriptural as a mechanical way of testifying to others. There are some Christians who are guilty of that. They witness and testify, but they do it in a thoroughly mechanical way. They never really consider the person with whom they are dealing; they never try to assess the person, or to discover exactly what his position is. They fail completely to implement this exhortation. They present the truth in exactly the same way to all and sundry. Quite apart from the fact that their testifying is generally quite useless, and that the only thing they achieve is a great feeling of self-righteousness, it is utterly unscriptural." --Martyn Lloyd-Jones "At the center of every culture is a cultus, a form of worship. Suffice it to say that the Great Commission requires us to disciple, baptize, and teach obedience to all the ethnoi, all the nations of men. This means that robust evangelism cannot be done without challenging the gods of the system. While we must not despise the day of small beginnings, and must labor faithfully in the little things, we must not be distracted from the ultimate mission and goal, getting diverted into picking off the devil's stragglers, and going off with them to build an isolated evangelical ghetto. Evangelism is combat between the gods, that is, between the living and triune God of the Bible and the idols of the age. Evangelism is therefore religious war at the highest level." --Douglas Wilson |
