Is 2022 going to be another year of 'cop out' Christians ? By that I mean, well, a number of things but primarily when shown and sometimes even lovingly 'confronted' with error that has for the most part been GENERATIONAL in the churches, they start scrambling for any reason NOT to believe what is shown them. It appears to not matter how simple, how logical, how inspirational this (to them) NEW truth Is, they will come up with excuses like "oh if it's not presented in a 'lovingly way', then I refuse to believe it" or "is it possible that there is 'another' meaning/way/interpretation it could be understood ?"
Really ? So who determines what 'lovingly' is ? You? me ? or the Word of God where love has conditions, love has 'teeth' to it like a sharp two edged sword...remember that one ? Of course you do ! Oh but only when convenient or when it fit's your narrative or when it's talking about someone else ?
Another meaning ? interpretation ? So who determines how or what to determine scripture meaning and implication ? You ? me?
I thought the Bible says in 2 Peter 1:20,21 the Bible interprets ITSELF ?!
I'm trying my best to remain positive BUT I'm not counting on 2022 being much differn't to this year gone, or the one before that, or the one before...
1Timothy 1:2
Unto Timothy, my own son (true child) in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 5:1
Be ye therefore followers (imitators) of God, as dear children;
Timothy had 'endeared' himself to the Apostle Paul just as we 'endear' ourselves to God. How does this happen, this 'endearment', this 'deep fondness' ?
It comes by way of appreciation. Appreciation of Paul by Timothy because Timothy appreciated what had been given to him. First the Word of God, then, the trust, the love, the sacrifice of Pauls life and ministry to enable, embolden, grow Timothy...."and the thing which you have heard of me amongst many witnesses the same commit to faithful men and women who shall be able to teach others also"- 2 Timothy 2:2
Just as we appreciate what was recorded in John 3:16, the 'faithful', the 'committed', the 'able to teach' is reserved for them who appreciate what they have, what they've been given.
