1 | Sacred things to dogs, pearls to pigs? | 1 Timothy | Robert Nicholson | 40528 | ||
Dear Dave R. I believe Paul had the same thing in mind when writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:3-5 "If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain is godliness; from such withdraw thyself." I believe there is a point in which discussion of things precious to us in God's word becomes futitle and counterproductive with some people. These people have made up their minds that they are not looking for truth, but instead they debate with the intent to undermine God and his word. It is not throwing things to dogs or pearls to swine to reach out to others with the gospel. Robert |

2 | Sacred things to dogs, pearls to pigs? | 1 Timothy | Dave R. | 40527 | ||
What does it mean in Matthew 7:6 where it says, "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces."? (Before you answer that one should not share the gospel with certain folks, please remember who Jesus shared His gospel with.) | ||||||
