I am writing a paper on "Are the heathen lost?" What is the answer to this, and what scriptures back up that view? | ||||||
2 | Are the heathen lost? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 138927 | ||
Hi titanic13, I think the answer - in all seriousness- is found in 2 Tim. 2:15 :-) If you're writing a paper, I'd suggest 3 things: 1.Do a search for the topic under the "Quick Search" function to find previous discussions on the SBF; 2. You can search the internet if you don't have resources available to you- or ask a Pastor or your Professor/Teacher for some guideance; 3. Begin at Romans 1-3 If it were me, I'd really want to seek the answer to this on my own so that I could gain from the learning process:-) None of this is said to be harsh- so please don't take it as such, my friend. I hope this helps, BradK |

3 | Are the heathen lost? | 2 Tim 2:15 | He-man | 138937 | ||
Hea´then. (Gentiles.)(nations). All the people who were not Jews were so called by them, being aliens from the worship, rites and privileges of Israel. The word was used contemptuously by them. In the New Testament it is used as equivalent to Greek. This use of the word seems to have arisen from the almost universal adoption of the Greek language. 2 Corinthians 6:14 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Matthew 18:17 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Galatians 3:8 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. William Smith; revised and edited by F.N. and M.A. Peloubet, Smith’s Bible dictionary, electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997. |

Hi He-Man, I noticed that you responded to me and not titanic13. Also, as a general note: Your posts are hard to follow because you provide very little foundation in answering questions. For example, with this one: You don't answer his question. You just quote a definition of "Heathen" and then I assume paste from your Logos some Bible verses. I would try and give a brief explanation of "how" those verses are relevant, or how they apply to the question at hand. You may know "what" you intend, but to others like myself, its' not abundantly clear. It's a bit confusing, my friend:-) I'm sure I'm not the only one left wondering. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
