FALSE TEACHERS
1Timothy 6.3-5.20-21Paul 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 of such false teachings first and for most is of course the monetary gain.
Paul writes in verse 5 that goodness they preach, for them is a means of gain. Paul also characterized such false teachers as self-important and arrogant, who understand nothing. Beside this there is another sort of false teachers who understand the goodness of Gospel that they preach, but their aim and goal is not to bring souls of people to Christ but purely profit motivation.
Paul also wrote result and outcome of such false teachings in the church, in which disputes, envy, strife, abusive language, evil, and suspicions between members of deprived mind which are deprived of Truth are the common sight in the church.
Church is a very good opportunity for money greedy people, and they run them as a good, oiled machine, preaching to the people things that assembly like to hear (2Timothy 4.3-4) (Isaiah 30.9-10) and keep indoctrinating them in their own denominational doctrines what are not compatible with Gospel of Christ.
Yes, some false teachers are indeed preaching very good with understanding of the Scripture, and I see them a lot, but they do it not in the Name of Christ but for their own name, for their own sake, and for their own doctrines.
~ 5. *Teaching for monetary gain: (Micah 3.11) (Acts 20.33-35) (2Corinthians 2.17) (John 10.1-12-13-16) (1Timothy 6.3-5) (Titus 1.10-11-16) (1Peter 5.2-4).
LOVE OF MONEY
1Timothy 6. 9-10.17.19
These verses also relate to the subject of false teachers, but it also has much broader meaning. Paul declared here that money is a root of all sorts of evil for all people, no matter who they are, Christians or outsiders, and it means that they are all equally greedy. But for Christians greed for money is the most dangerous thing that drives them away from Faith. and unfortunately, it the most common temptation, attraction, and transgression in Christian communities.
Jesus Christ Himself teaches to be wealthy in the Spiritual treasures and not earthly physical material treasures (Matthew 6.19-21.24), because in Heaven, in Spiritual World, only your Spiritual Wealth counts that will give you position in Heaven according to your Spiritual riches. The physical material wealth is meaningless in Heaven and worth nothing.
~ Spiritual and Material Wealth: (Proverbs 23.4-5) (Matthew 6.19-21) (Mark 10.21) (Luke 12.33-34, 18.22) (1Timothy 6.6-19) (Hebrews 13.5) (James 5.1-6).
GOOD WORKS
1Timothy 6.18And of course, Paul never forgets to mention about Good Works in the Name of Christ, which is prove of Faith for all those who call themselves as Christian.
Such words as, "goodness" (5), "godliness, faith, and love" (6.11-12), all are must be proven by Good Works, because Good physical Works of charity and help in the Name of Christ are the definition of goodness, godliness, faith, and love, and there is no other way anyone can prove his/her godliness, godliness, faith, and love without Good Works in Christ. Not the words are count as godliness, godliness, faith, and love, but the actions in Christ count as prove Faith and Love in Christ, which in return show a Christian as a Spiritual Christian, full of Spiritual Qualities and Properties of Christ's Holy Spirit.
~ 18. *Good Works: (Nehemiah 2.18) (Matthew 5.16, 12.12) (Luke 6.35) (John 5.29, 10.32) (Acts 9.36, 10.38) (Romans 2.7.10) (2Corinthians 9.8) (Galatians 6.9-10) (Ephesians 2.10, 6.7-8) (Philippians 1.6) (Colossians 1.10) (2Thessalonians 2.17, 3.7-13) (1Timothy 2.9-10, 5.9-10.25, 6.18) (2Timothy 2.21, 3.16-17) (Titus 1.16, 2.7.14, 3.1.5.8.14) (Hebrews 10.24, 13.16.21) (James 1.22-25, 2.14-26, 3.13, 4.17) (1Peter 2.12, 3.6.11.17).
