21 | Timothy's Gifts and Title? | 1 Tim 1:18 | AllenRhoades | 206795 | ||
he was timothy. we should be careful not to read of the early believers and assume they were like us. they probably didn't gather at 11 on sunday morning in a steepled building with pews and gather around a sermon. encouragement and edifying to one another seems to be the norm. see 1 cor 14:26 and hebrews 10:24-25 in the letter to the thessalonians from paul, silvanas, and timothy, at least two of them were called apostles: 1 Thess 2:6 nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority. could that been timothy also? he was sent to them. blessings, allen |

22 | should you be baptist again, if you fall | 1 Pet 3:21 | AllenRhoades | 206743 | ||
i know of no re-baptisms in the scriptures. do you? there are calls to help a wandering believer to repent in galations 6:1 and james 5:19,20 but no mention of a re-baptism. i think the verse you mention of "baptism now saves us" is clarified by peter in the next line -"not the removal of dirt from the flesh" which i think is the physical water but an inward aspect instead - "but an appeal to god for a good conscience -through the resurrection of jesus christ" |

23 | Divorced, Am I going to hell? | Matt 5:32 | AllenRhoades | 206740 | ||
truly what god has joined should not be divided; however, that division is already in place. the law states that it would be an abomination to now go back to your first husband. although it could be debated that we are not under law, i think there is at least some moral consideration here. deut 24:4 her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to take her again to be his wife, since she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD But on your question of hell, remember most books in the new testament were written by a man who killed followers of christ. even after he repented the results of his previous actions were still there (and i would say they were worse results that we could even imagine). yet he lived by faith in the son of god who loved him and gave his life for him. imitate him as he imitated christ. blessings, allen |

24 | Lead us not | Luke 5:18 | AllenRhoades | 206587 | ||
eisenegkas - to carry/bring into. Like the friends of the paralytic brought him into the house where Jesus was. Also 1 Tim 6:7 We brought nothing into the world. Another meaning (maybe earlier) was "to introduce". An interesting thought - "and do not introduce us into trials." I would like to hear what you gathered in studying the example prayer sometime. |
