1 | Once upon a time | Eph 4:11 | DocTrinsograce | 131341 | ||
A very good tale, kalos! Thank you! The converse of this tale is the odd notion that one can only learn from the guy that Peter mystically zotted with the laying on of hands who then zotted someone else who zotted someone else who zotted someone else... etc. It made me mindful of Paul's words in 2 Timothy 2:2 "And what things you heard from me through many witnesses, commit these things to faithful men, such as will be competent also to teach others." No zotting there, but clearly the teaching of Christ and the apostles comes to us through "faithful men." Praise God! (By the way, I am greatly edified by going back over your previous posts. Thank you for so patiently and persistently feeding His sheep!) |

Doc, "It made me mindful of Paul's words in 2 Timothy 2:2 "And what things you heard from me through many witnesses, commit these things to faithful men, such as will be competent also to teach others." No zotting there, but clearly the teaching of Christ and the apostles comes to us through "faithful men." Praise God!" Context Doc, context! How could you have missed this verse in the very same letter or the verse from 1 Timothy 4:14. 2 Tim 1:6 "For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands." 1 Tim 4:14 "Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery." See also Numbers 27:18-23; Deuteronomy 34:9; Acts 6:6; 13:31. Emmaus |

I figured our more Pentecostal leaning buddies might shed some light on the handling of those verses. Hey, if Timothy got zotted by Paul, who zotted Paul? Galatians 1:17 indicates he was off working as an apostle long before he got into zot range of an apostle. |

Doc, Paul was a unique case of one called "out of time" by Jesus on the road to Damascus. But even he had hands laid on him before being sent on the speacial mission God had him set aside for. (Acts 13:3) He was not a Lone Ranger. Emmaus |

Doc, Not to mention that immediately after his knock down experience, Paul had hand laid on him by Ananis at God's command, Ananias' reluctance not withstanding. Acts 9;11-17. Emmaus |
