2 Timothy 2: Debates Open The Doorway To Satanic Bondage
The Apostle Paul Warned Against Bible And Theology Debates. Open Your Authorized King James Bible Version To 2 Timothy Chapter 2 With Prayer. Let's Examine How We Can Inhibit Satanic Strong Holds And High Places (2 Corinthians 10:1-12).
2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
The Apostle Paul Reminded Timothy And All Christians That We Have The Grace Of Jesus Christ (God). Thus We Can Be Strong In Our Christian Walk Before God.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Paul Encouraged Timothy To Encourage Faithful Men To Also Teach Others About Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Christians Are Reminded That We Will Have To Endure Hardshipss. We Are Soldiers Of Jesus Christ Who Died For Us (Matthew 16:21-28).
2 Timothy 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Christian Soldiers Must Please The One Who Chose Them To Be Such. They Can Not Entangle Or Attempt To Mix The Affairs Of This World's Life With Their Christian Obligations Before God.
2 Timothy 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
If A Christian Expects Jesus (God) To Crown Them With His Heavenly Kingdom They Must Obey His Commandments (John 15:10-15; Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:13-29; 1 John 2:15-17).
2 Timothy 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
Jesus Christ Is The Husbandman Who Seeks Fruits From Christians. These Will Be The First To Rapture Into Jesus' Heavenly Kingdom (Matthew 7:13-29; Revelation 19:1-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).
2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
The Reason Why Many "Christians" Disagree With Paul Is Because The Lord Has Not Given Them Understanding (And/Or Revelations) In These Matters (Matthew 13:1-13; 1 Corinthians 1:1-10).
2 Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Paul's Gospel Was Given To Him Directly By God Jesus. Paul's Gospel Was Truth. The Nation Of Israel And Jerusalem Should Have Rejoiced. Their Messianic Seed Of David Had Arrived In Jesus Christ. This Was The True Gospel Of God (Acts 9:1-11; 2 Corinthians 12:1-7; John 17:17; John 14:4-7).
2 Timothy 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
No Matter How Hard Satanic Opposers Of Jesus Christ "Worked" They Would Never "Bind" Or Remove God's True Gospel Off Planet Earth. The Great Tribulation "Time Of Trouble" Will Actually "Press (Or Crush-Force)" More "Fruit Of The Vine" Into God's Kingdom Through Repentance (Revelation 14:1-20; Daniel 12:1-10).
2 Timothy 2:11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]: 2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
God Is Faithful. Death Will Not Distance Christians From God. We Will Always Be With Our Savior And Deliver (Hebrews 13:5-6). Those Who Deny Or Disobey Jesus Christ Will Be Denied By Him (John 15:10-15; Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:13-21).
2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
Any Satanic Disbelief Will Not Inhibit God From Revealing His Kingdom (Seed) Purpose Through Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:1-11; Genesis 3:1-16).
2 Timothy 2:14 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.
Christians Are To Avoid "Debates" That Go No Where. We Preach Jesus Christ And Then Move Out Of The Way Of God's Holy Spirit.
It Will Be The Holy Spirit That Convicts A Person "In The Spirit" To Walk With And Obey God The Spirit (John 3:1-8; John 14:26; 2 Peter 1:20-21; John 4:24; Galatians 5:15, 25-26).
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
A Christian Who Does Not Study God's Holy Word Allowing The Holy Spirit To Lead Them Is Not A "God Approved" Christian. A Christian Who Does Obey God In This Manner Will Understand God's Holy Word. This Must Be A God Approved Translation Of God's Holy Word Such As The Authorized King James Bible Version (1611). Other Such "Holy Books" Are Not God Approved Or Holy Spirit Breathed (John 14:26; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105; John 17:17; Revelation 22:18-20).
2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 2 Timothy 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Hymenaeus And Philetus Were Men Of Satan The Devil. They Appeared To Be "Truth Seekers". Yet They Relied On Vain Babblings And Arguments That Only Increased Ungodliness.
Ungodliness Is The Bold Disobeying Of The Holy Spirit. Most Humans Are Guilty Of This Sin. They Would Rather Rely On Their Own "Intellect" Than Trust In The All Wise And All Knowing God.
These Two Demonic Men Misapplied Scriptures Regarding Christ "Day Of Resurrection (Matthew 22:23, 30; Matthew 27:53; John 5:20-31; John 11:24-25).
"Some" Christians Were Misled By This "Head Knowledge (Devoid Of Holy Spirit) And Fell From The Faith. These Fallen "Stars (Seeds Of Christ's Kingdom)" Are Prophecised About In These Bible Verses (Genesis 15:1-10; Genesis 22:17; Genesis 26:4; Galatians 3:16, 29; Revelation 12:1-4; Daniel 12:1-10).
2 Timothy 2:19 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. 2 Timothy 2:20 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.
2 Timothy 2:21 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.
A "christian" Who Practices Sin (Iniquity-Disobedience-"Evil" 1 Samuel 15:20-23) Is Not A God Approved Christian (Matthew 7:13-29; Luke 6:46; John 15:10-15). Their Disobedience Will Not Stop God From Establishing His Coming Kingdom.
God's Great Tribulation Is God's "WinePress (GATH)". God Will Purge His Disobedient Saints On Planet Earth At That Time (Malachi 3:1-12; Luke 3:10-20; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 9:14; Revelation 14:1-20; Daniel 12:1-10; Matthew 7:13-29; Daniel 7:21, 25).
2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Paul Consider Timothy His Younger Son. Thus Paul Commanded Timothy To Shun And Flee From His Youthful Lust. However All Christian Must Flee From Lustful Desires.
Christians Are Commanded To Follow These Godly Ways:
Righteousness-Christians Must Seek, Learn And Perform God's Righteousness As He Explains In His Holy Bible (Matthew 6:25-34).
Charity-Love- Caring For Others From The Heart. Forgiving Others (Matthew 6:9-13).
Peace-Christians Must Pursue The Peace Of God. The Peace Of God Is Faith And Trust In God No Matter What Occurs. We Trust That God Is Love And Is In Control. We Obey God In Faith And Let God Work All Other Things Out.
Call On The Lord- Daily We Humans Should Be Thanking And Praising God. We Should Talk To God Daily And Study His Word Regulary (John 17:17; Hebrews 4:11-12).
Pure Heart-We Christians Must Confess Our Sins To God And Repent Of Such. We Must Then Use God's Word To Perform God's Way And Righteousness (John 14:4-7).
2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
We Christians Are Not Commanded To Prove God's Word. We Are Commanded To Preach It (Matthew 28:18-20). Once We Preach God's Word We Must Humbly "Step Back" And Allow The Holy Spirit To Do His Job Of Conviction (John 14:26). We Christians Are Commanded To Avoid Satanic Debates Which Are The Works Of The Flesh (Galatians 5:1-25; Genesis 3:1-16; Matthew 4:1-11).
2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
Do Not Strive- Christians Must Shun Demonic Debates That Distract From The Purity Of God's Holy Word
Gentle- Christians Are To Operate In Love And Respect. They Are Not To Be Aggressive Or Disrespectful
Teach- Christians Must Be Willing To Teach Any Who Are Willing To Be Taught
Patient-Christians Can Not Expect Others To Progress One Way Or Another. Christians Are To Teach And Pray Trusting In The Holy Spirit From That Point On.
2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 2 Timothy 2:26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
The Sad Truth Is That Satan Takes Captives Every Day. Only Those Who Do God's Will Can DAILY Be Freed Of Satanic (Demonic) Interventions. Christians Must Instruct Such "Captives" With Meekness, God's Word And Prayer. It Will Be God (Not Any Human) Who Gives Repentance, Recovering And Deliverance To Such Erring Ones.
