FALSE TEACHERS 1Timothy 6.3-5.20-21 Paul written plenty about false teachers, and here again he wrote warnings about them but from a little bit different perspective. Generally false teachers are who have personal or denominational agenda not consisted with the Gospel of Christ. The major drive...

I would probably divide Christians on two major groups. One group are those who prefer easy way to Heaven. They like to hear only general terminology of the Bible describing Faith and Salvation. Church loves this general terminology and brainwashing people by it every Sunday. 2Timothy 4.3-4...

LABORER WORTHY OF HIS WAGES 1Timothy 5.18 This is the one of the most controversial issues about reward for preaching the Gospel. No such word as "money" is mentioned anywhere in the Bible concerning this issue, but only various help, providing food, shelter, and other things for the need of...

Yes, I read these passages and more. Do not consider general terminology as the final answer to this issue, read also passages that describes specifically and in details of how believe in Christ and its following salvation works. Do not stop on few things, read them all. James, (most likely the...

SOME WILL FALL AWAY FROM THE FAITH 1Timothy 4.1 "Some will fall away from the Faith." As it have been commented previously, no one knows his or her salvation until the Book of Life will be open. (Revelation 20.12.15, 21.27). But before it happens we rely only on our HOPE for our Salvation...

Of course, you know the meaning of the parable, it is about rich man who trust and live for his material wealth and not relying on GOD. But if a church spent money to expend physical space in order to accumulate more people, I have no problem with that. GOD BLESS.

OVERSEERS AND DEACONS 1Timothy 3.1-7 Oversee, perhaps mean a person who are appointed by the church as a leader of the church, not by investors, real estate, corporation, shareholders, religious denomination, pope, or any other person or a group of people who are invested in building of the...

MAN'S AUTHORITY OVER A WOMAN 1Timothy 2.9-14 Paul very often dedicated a large portion of his Letters to women with recommendations and sometimes with straight command. In this chapter Paul turned to the Spiritual side of the Christian woman, advising, that instead of adoring themselves with...

PROBLEMS OF THE CHURCH 1Timothy 1.4-7 As always, almost in every of his Letters Paul touches the subject of discipline and behavior in the church. Hear Paul mentioned another number of negative behaviors what are very common almost in every church, they are: strange denominational doctrines...

I Apologize; I forgot that I posted it in August. SPIRITUAL CHURCH Galatians 6. In verse 1 Paul called brethren of the church Spiritual. GOD Father and His Son Jesus Christ teach Spirituality from the very beginning of communication with human beings to be Spiritually wise, Spiritually...

CIRCUMCISION OF THE LAW Galatians 5.1-6 Paul again returns to the issues of circumcision and declared that anyone who is circumcised, now is under obligations of the Rituals of the Law, and above all, physical circumcision does not make a person justified by the Law, because a person under...

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION AND HEIRS OF GOD THE OLD AND THE NEW COVENANTS Galatians 4. 1-10 In these verses Paul compares Israel to "a child" that does not yet that he inherited the Estate of his...

WORKS, FAITH, PROMISE, COVENANT, TUTOR Galatians 3.1-29 "Did you receive the Spirit." This is essential question for all Christians. Under words "works of the Law," Paul meant the Ritual Commandments of the Law of Moses, but under word "Faith" Paul meant Faith in Spiritual Commandments of the...

I agree with you. We can have false doctrines, and we also have false interpretations of the true and original Gospel. In order to be safe and not fall victim to false doctrines and false interpretations of the original Gospel, I believe that everyone shall study Bible by himself and pray for...

REPUTATION Galatians 2.2.6-8 Whose Paul actually mean than he mentioned certain people of "reputation." Most likely he meant the Apostles of Christ and some other leaders of the church. The interval of 14 years (1) perhaps starts from the moment of his conversion by Christ after he left...
