Q4. Exhortation
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 1. God's Grace and Calling (1 Timothy 1)
So Timothy would be aware of the work and tasks set out for him. God will supply hims with whatever he needs. Facing these problems as a leader was difficult. To fight the good fight is to do the right thing and to try to get others to do the same. It comes from the Christian religion, so it is deeply rooted in morality and evangelism. Paul says this not only as an affectionate greeting to one he loves, but also to indicate to all readers that Timothy's authority and teaching is based solidly on Paul's own, that Timothy represents Paul's apostolic authority in the church and must be obeyed. Timothy appeared to have been intimidated by his youthfulness. Paul urged him in 1 Timothy 4:12: "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Why does Paul need to remind Timothy about the -
You will receive the power to witness Jesus, for the people who believe and of the world. God's power and only God's power enables us to exhibit love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, which reveal the character of Christ in us.

Jesus told the disciples that they were to wait for the Holy Spirit and they would receive power, and they would be his witnesses, and they would tell people about Jesus everywhere, to the end of the earth. The Holy Spirit is a crucial part of Christianity as it empowers believers to live a holy life and share the gospel with others.

Q5. Women in Ministry
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2. Men and Women in God's Household (1 Timothy 2)
Back in those times in the beginning of the early church women were’t respected like they are today. The man was head of the household. Women were to serve the men. But if they put the women to teach the children then why not let them teach the congregation? Women weren’t trained in Scripture, I'm sure they taught their children. -
Q3. Pure Hearts
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2. Men and Women in God's Household (1 Timothy 2)
Men should pray in holiness, not amidst the anger generated by the controversies and disputes stirred up by the false teachers. If you want to worship with God and be heard you need to love your brother and sister in Christ -
Q1. Salvation for All Mankind
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2. Men and Women in God's Household (1 Timothy 2)
Paul emphasizes salvation of all mankind, because the people had became so engaged in preaching their own way, and praying for just the people of the church which left a bunch of people out. God does not want this. When we pray, we should pray for everyone. This suggests that the evangelism of the church had become false. God does not want anyone to die, Jew or Gentile, he wants the Word of God, the gospel message, to be preached to all nations -
We learn that there is only one God and that He is forever God and we should honor and glorify him always. We learn that God does inhabit our praises. God is literally described as the eternal King. we learn that God does listen to us.

Q2. Mediator and Ransom
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2. Men and Women in God's Household (1 Timothy 2)
Paul emphasized the role of Mediator and Ransom in the context of the salvation of all because he wanted to show that it was Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, and not any other who secured salvation for mankind. As 'mediator,' Jesus stands between God and man to reconcile man to God. His death on the cross was a substitution act, a 'ransom' for man. -
Q1. False Doctrine
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 1. God's Grace and Calling (1 Timothy 1)
False doctrine gave incorrect assumptions about the law like not allowing certain foods or marriage. Teaches lies not the truth, topics they know nothing about. They have brought disagreements within the church. If there is confusion within the church, God can't speak his words correctly, people won’t know the truth -
Q5. Women in Ministry

.Back in those times women weren’t respected like they are today. The man was the head of the household. Women were to serve the men. But if they put the women to teach the children then why not let them teach the congregation. if man and women had no education back then, then why did they choose a man to preach, women should have been equals -
Q4. Fancy Clothing
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2. Men and Women in God's Household (1 Timothy 2)
With the women dressing all up was a distraction in the church away from God. in Pauls day modesty was important because the Jewish and Hellenistic traditions associated extravagant female styles with sexual promiscuity among Jesus. I think that when people dress up fancy they are competing against other members of the church, instead of coming to the church to worship. -
Q3. Pure Hearts
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2. Men and Women in God's Household (1 Timothy 2)
The false teachers were causing disagreements of salvation among the church's people. God desires unity, to love everyone, God will not hear our prayers if we do not truly believe in him, and worshipping with him -
The law is good if it i used lawfully. The law is for everyone to abide by. One who has experienced the law knows more than one who doesn't know the law. Paul wanted Timothy to teach the people of in the church.

Q1. False Doctrine
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 1. God's Grace and Calling (1 Timothy 1)
False doctrine is teaching things that they know nothing about, leading the people in the church astray, allowing them to do what they want. Controversy will bring disorder to the church, leading away from the teachings of Christ and focusing on the old ways -
Q1. Lost Sheep and Lost Coin
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 1. Parables about God's Love
The Parable of the Lost Sheep is one of the parables of Jesus. It appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. It is about a shepherd who leaves his flock of ninety-nine sheep in order to find the one which is lost. It is the first member of a trilogy about redemption that Jesus tells after the Pharisees and religious leaders accuse him of welcoming and eating with "sinners -

Q1. Lost Sheep and Lost Coin
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 1. Parables about God's Love
The parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep are stories that teach about God's love and repentance The parables describe how much God cares for the sinner and how much He wants them back. Jesus teaches that God seeks out sinners by grace to lead them to repentance. The parables do not teach that God accepts everyone's behavior The charge to Church members is to join those seeking diligently until the lost sheep and coins are found and to watch and wait with open arms and hearts for prodigals to return. -
Q22. Lostness
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 3.1. Fellow Citizens with the People of God (2:11-22)
Being out of touch, not knowing where to turn. I’ve never had to experience being lost in a new school, a new city. I’m the type of person who just jumps in.i believe it wold be a very bad situation. As I've gotten older I seem to be lost somewhat, I don't communicate with many people now so when I’m in a group of people I feel lost sometimes -
Q20. Works
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2.2. Salvation by Grace through Faith (2:8-10)
For we are Gods workmanship (a gift), created in Christ Jesus to do good works [the result of our faith-response to God], which God prepared in advance for us to do” God said we are the liht of the world, then let us shine the light on others -
Q19. Saved
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2.2. Salvation by Grace through Faith (2:8-10)
To be saved means to be rescued from something undesirable. In a spiritual sense, it means to be rescued from sin and its consequences, which include eternal punishment in hell To be saved, one must confess that they are a sinner and need a Savior, and believe in Jesus Christ as the one who died for their sins and gives them eternal life. Being saved does not mean being free from earthly troubles, but it does mean being seen as righteous in the eyes of God -
Q18. Grace
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2.2. Salvation by Grace through Faith (2:8-10)
Grace means that God showered favor and blessing on those who did not in any way deserve or earn it. They deserved His judgment and wrath. But He showed them favor. God’s pure grace gets polluted from two sides. On the one side, grace runs counter to the way the world works, so it’s difficult for us to grasp it and get used to it. Sin demolishes grace God is not expecting anything from us, just our love and worship, We can’t make it to heaven on our own Grace is like getting a present you don’t deserve. It’s a gift that someone gives you just because they love you. -
Q16. God at Work
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2.1. From Deadness in Sin to Coming Alive in Christ (2:1-7)
that we should be holy and blameless before him; and in love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. -
Q15. Following Satan
crissy464 replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 2.1. From Deadness in Sin to Coming Alive in Christ (2:1-7)
Satan knows our weak spots. He knows where we sin easily. He knows if we are tempted to pride; he knows if we are tempted to anger; he knows if we are tempted to be slothful—and he uses those weaknesses. By not knowing God. By not submitting to the Holy Spirit as our teacher and guide. The devil can convince you that religion in only important up to a point and that you don’t need to be zealous. You don’t need to put yourself out there for it -
A person who is segregated from God is spiritually dead even though physically alive. Unless God intervenes such people live at the mercy of the devil and the cravings of their sinful nature. Only when God opens their eyes to the truth can people find salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and become spiritually alive. As believers we should help the non-believers of God’s word and explain God’s plan
