Bible Note: Joe concerning the imagery of a shipwreck. If a ship gets blown up into the shallows and rocky reefs, the waves will batter that ship upon the rocks until it is completely broken up and destoyed to an unrepairable state. That is the picture I believe Paul is trying to convey to the readers in 1 Tim 1:18-20. Joe you stated: "How do you reconcile Paul talking about teaching Hymenaeus and Alexander not to blaspheme (i.e. to repent)" I don't see where you equate "blaspheme" with "repent" I don't see where these two individuals in the text were told to repent. I personally don't see how anyone who has made shipwreck of his faith could repent again since Heb. 6:4-6 says it is immpossible for those who have fallen away (apostazied) to be renewed a second time to repentance. When they made shipwreck, their faith was sunk. And it became impossible to renew them again. Their fall was final and complete. Thats the way I see it But I thank you for your thoughts on this even if we do not see eye to eye concerning this. God Bless New Creature |
