Life
Part XXII
The
"Even More" Harder Stuff
not strive
NOT - II
Timothy 2:14 - (read 14-18)
Of
these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that
they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting
of the hearers.
the non-rightly
dividers!
NOT - II
Timothy 2:24-26 - And the servant of
the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach,
patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who
are taken captive by him at his will.
P.S. - Christians
can be taken captive, as well - of course - their flesh!!
DO strive to preach
Paul's gospel where Christ isn't named...
Romans 15:20
- Yea, so have I strived to preach the
gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another
man's foundation:
DO strive in prayers
to God for Paul... us...
Romans 15:30
- Now I beseech you, brethren, for the
Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive
together with me in your prayers to God for me;
DO - We must still
strive to do it right!
I Corinthians
9:25 - And every man that striveth for
the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain
a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
II Timothy
2:5 - And if a man also strive for masteries,
yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
according to rightly
dividing, of course!
neither give heed
I Timothy 1:4
- Neither give heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which
is in faith: so do.
fables - jewish
teachings, etc.
endless genealogies
- apostolic succession, catholic AND baptist!
purge
To cleanse or
purify by separating and carrying off whatever is impure, heterogeneous,
foreign or superfluous; as, to purge the body by evacuation... To clear
from guilt or moral defilement; as, to purge one of guilt or crime; to
purge away sin. To remove what is offensive; to sweep away impurities.
I Corinthians
5:7 - Purge out therefore the old leaven,
that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover
is sacrificed for us:
II Timothy
2:19-21 - Nevertheless the foundation of
God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.
And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
But
in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but
also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel
unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto
every good work.
reject
Titus 3:10
- A man that is an heretick after the
first and second admonition reject;
But not everyone
that 'does wrong.'

- And my temptation which was in my flesh
ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even
as Christ Jesus.
Romans 14:10
- But why dost thou judge thy brother?
or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of Christ.

vain; futile; insignificant. Of no force; inoperative; ineffectual.

Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table,
and of the table of devils.

over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power;

not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators
of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters;
for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto
you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator,
or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner;
with such an one no not to eat.

a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became
a man, I put away childish things.
