1Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

Nova, what is the Word of God teaching here from what you see? Please.

Hi Jim.

I used to be caught up in apologetics thinking that reason would convince one and bring them to faith, but have come to the realization that apologetics are fruitless and we must adhere to the way prescribed by God. I have never been good at arguing evolution, but to me this is just another form of apologetics. Martin Luther always said that studying any of the sciences was a waste of time and of no value. We both know that the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God… and I believe this includes science.

I’m not sure if I got your point… but assuming that I did I will leave you with the power that changes, the power that convicts, the power that saves… and that is the Word of God, pure and simple. May we rely on Him and that only to see His sheep come to faith and repentance.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER OF GOD unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Peace be with you my friend,

In His Love,

Sam

p.s. the interpretation of the verse to me says... That we are to hold on to the truth, speak only the truth that has been entrusted to us and avoid "meaningless" talk and debates over things that do not matter.

Although it sometimes is inaccurate when compared to the King James translation,the vast majority of the time the Contemporary English Bible which has been created by the American Bible Society, comes up with a crystal clear and frequently extremely beautifully worded interpretation of the Bible.Their interpretation of the verses in question here should rock you because of its forceful simplicity.Ready?

"20Timothy, guard what God has placed in your care! Don't pay any attention to that godless and stupid talk that sounds smart but really isn't. 21Some people have even lost their faith by believing this talk.

I pray that the Lord will be kind to all of you! "

WOW!

Sam & DrFrank:

Gentlemen, thank you for your very kind reminder. I admit to being caught up in opposition to The Theory of Evolution and certainly should have known better in light of what is taught in 1 Timothy 6

Perhaps just a reference to 2Thessalonians 2:11 would have been much more God glorifying. [And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:]

Looking forward to your future comments regarding Christian Doctrine,
Jim

Thanks for the information. I'll make sure never to pick up an Contemporary English Bible. Somebody please slap me!

In His Love,
Sam
