3 | money and the bible? | 1 Tim 5:8 | knm222 | 225194 | ||
After reading this passage and the ones beforehand,which not doing would lead to misinterpretation. I beleive he is speaking of the duty of a child to his widowed mother. I cannot beleive the bible would say this about the poor.A vast majority of people live in poverty and I do not beleive that would be condemned as less than infidel. I find alot of people taking biblical passages out of context. For example speaking in tongues. There are various mentions of speaking in tongues through the New Testament, but one verse taken out of context such as in 1 corintians 13:8 "tongues shall cease". Literally that would mean there are no more tongues, but in context he is speaking hypothetically to stress the importance of charity. | ||||||

Also adding upon this, even if Timothy was speaking in general of providing for you family. Matthew clearly states in 6 matthew 31:33 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. I beleive he is saying be grateful for what you have and of course provide what you can for your family, but in the quality of that it cannot be measured because the Lord Provides for his subjects. Jesus also states that “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. |
