1 Timothy 1
1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the
commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is
our hope;
2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and
peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into
Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no
other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in
faith: so do.
-
Genealogies = false teaching
-
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and
genealogies, and contentions, and strivings
about the law; for they are unprofitable and
vain.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart,
and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain
jangling;
-
Vain jangling = it's their words not God's words
-
Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain
talkers and deceivers, specially they of the
circumcision:
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what
they say, nor whereof they affirm.
-
They don't know what the laws are
-
Luke 5:17 And it came to pass on a certain day,
as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees
and doctors of the law sitting by, which were
come out of every town of Galilee, and Judæa,
and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was
present to heal them.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
-
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these
least commandments, and shall teach men so, he
shall be called the least in the kingdom of
heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them,
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your
righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of
the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case
enter into the kingdom of heaven.
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for
sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
mankind, for men stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and
if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
-
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of
God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God.
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which
was committed to my trust.
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for
that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
-
Isaiah 43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead
together: declare thou, that thou mayest be
justified.
13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious:
but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I
am chief.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first
Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern
to them which should hereafter believe on him to life
everlasting.
17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise
God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the
prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest
war a good warfare;
19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put
away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered
unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
