STRIVING ABOUT WORDS…THE DANGER OF…


“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.  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.” 2 Timothy 2:14-18.

Hymenaeus and Philegus are still with us. You can identify them as they strive to take words out of context and the overall scope of Scripture. These pretend to site the Greek, the Latin, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. They do this to remove you from the faith you were grounded and settled in. The cover land and sea to make one proselyte who is more a child of hell than themselves. Don’t fall for adage, “I have studied this and thus it is so.” There are some on Face Book who would take you down this road of destruction. Don’t follow them! “ But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, THE CURE FOR ALL SICKNESS’.

THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, THE CURE FOR ALL SICKNESS’.

By Ken Blue

RESURRECTION

  1. THOSE WHO PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS MUST BELIEVE IN CHRIST’S BODILY RESURRECTION-
  2. PAUL PREACHED CHRIST’S BODILY RESURRECTION-
  3. IF JESUS WAS NOT RESURRECTED BODILY, PREACHING, AND FAITH ARE VAIN-
  4. IF JESUS WAS NOT RESURRECTED, THEY WERE STILL UNDER THE CURSE OF SIN-
  5. IF JESUS WAS NOT RESURRECTED, THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARE PERISHED-
  6. IF WE HAVE HOPE IN THIS LIFE ONLY, WE ARE MOST MISERABLE AND HOPELESS-
  7. HOWEVER, CHRIST IS RISEN AND WE HAVE A SURE HOPE IN HIM-

“Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?  But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:  And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.  Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.  For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:  And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.” 1 Corinthians 15:12-19. “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.”  (1 Corinthians 15:19 KJV.)

THE ABSOLUTE SECURITY OF THE BELIEVER

By Ken Blue

  1. THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS US IN ALL OUR FRAILTIES-
  2. THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS GOD’S PURPOSE FOR OUR INFIRMITIES-
  3. THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES INTERCESSION TO THE FATHER FOR US-
  4. ALL THING WORK FOR GOOD FOR US-
  5. GOD HAS PREDESTINED US TO A GLORIFIED BODY LIKE CHRIST-
  6. THE BELIEVER IS JUSTIFIED AND GLORIFIED IN CHRIST-
  7. NO ONE CAN LAY ANYTHING OR CONDEMN US-
  8. JESUS CHRIST ALSO MAKES INTERCESSION FOR US-
  9. NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD’S LOVE-
  10. WE HAVE ABSOLUT SECURITY IN CHRIST-

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:26-39.

 

WHEN CHRIST DELIVERS THE KINGDOM TO THE FATHER

WHEN CHRIST DELIVERS THE KINGDOM TO THE FATHER

By Ken Blue

 

 

  1. CHRIST IS THE FIRST FRUITS TO BE RESURRECTED IN A GLORIFIED BODY-
  2. CHRIST’S FOLLOWERS RESURRECTED ACCORDING TO THEIR ORDER-
  3. CHRIST DELIVERS THE KINGDOM TO GOD AT THE END OF THE THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM-
  4. CHRIST WILL SUBDUE ALL POWERS DURING HIS THOUSAND YEAR REIGN-
  5. CHRIST WILL DESTROY THE LAST ENEMY, DEATH-
  6. CHRIST WILL BECOME SUBJECT TO GOD AT THE END OF HIS THOUSAND YEAR REIGN-
  7. GOD WILL RULE OVER ALL THINGS AS HE DID IN THE ORIGINAL CREATION-

“But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.  For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.

“GIVE NONE OFFENCE, NEITHER TO THE JEWS, THE GENTILES, THE CHURCH OF GOD:”

“GIVE NONE OFFENCE, NEITHER TO THE JEWS NOR TO THE GENTILES, NOR TO THE CHURCH OF GOD:”  (1 Corinthians 10:32).

CHURCH OF GOD

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES RIGHTLY UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND HOW TO DIVIDE THEM RIGHTLY. FAILURE OF THIS RULE OF BIBLE INTERPRETATION HAS LED TO ALL KINDS CONFUSION AND MISAPPLICATION OF GOD’S WORD. THE FOLLOWING VERSE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD OR IT IS IGNORED TO THE SHAME OF MANY COMMENTATORS.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” 2 Timothy 2:15-16.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:32 REVEALS A DIVISION, NOT OF TIME, OR EVENTS, OR PLACES, BUT OF GROUPS OF PEOPLE. THESE CONSIST OF THE JEWS, THE GENTILES (NON JEWS OR THE CHURCH), OR THE CHURCH OF GOD. EACH OF THESE MUST BE DEALT WITH SEPARATELY AND IN THEIR PROPER CONTEXT. THIS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION. THE SECOND RULE IS TO TAKE ALL SCRIPTURE LITERAL AS FAR AS THE CONTEXT WILL ALLOW. IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT MAKE THE FIGURATIVE LITERAL, OR THE LITERAL, A FIGURE OF SPEECH.
