2 | By definition is it out of order? | 1 Tim 5:20 | Sinjin2 | 24472 | ||
While I do agree those verses aptly describe the situation, they do not seem to address how to deal with it. I agree that mature may mean a 30 yr old full of the Word or a 80 yr. old. The question is not about age at all. This issue has become a war zone in the church because that is the verse the minister chose to use to correct it. It has effectively divided the church and even caused people who claim to belong to Jesus to react in hatred and anger. I myself would have gone to the individual and asked what was meant etc. I do not seek an endorsement of the use of the verse but am curious to know what would indeed constitute the justifiable use of the verse to bring correction according to the Scripture not a particular church or demominational doctrine. | ||||||
3 | By definition is it out of order? | 1 Tim 5:20 | Sinjin2 | 24272 | ||
Taken in the context it is written in, with the definition of an elder according to the Hebrew-Aramaic Greek Dictionary as: presbuteros; a cptv. of presbus (an old man); elder:--elder(3), elders(57), men of old(1), old men(1), older(1), older man(1), older ones(1), older women(1), women(1)and sin defined as : to miss the mark, do wrong, sin: - commit sin(1), committed...offense(1)committing(1), sin(11)sinned (17), sinning(4), sins(8)is it out of order completely to use this as Scriptural basis for correction? Granted not exactly how I would handle it but is it really out of order? | ||||||
4 | Should this be used to correct a widow? | 1 Tim 5:20 | Sinjin2 | 24227 | ||
Should this scripture be used to bring correction to a elderly widow by a pastor when she has spoken publically and brought hurt and embarrassment without thought, or should the issue be addressed privately? | ||||||
