2 Timothy 2:14-16 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. (15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (16) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.It's like some cases I've had. Sometimes, after both parties have presented their arguments, and the judge is ready to deliberate, the judge will ask, "do you have anything else to add?" And sometimes the very best answer to that is simply "No, your honor, I'm willing to stand pat with what has already been presented." Likewise here, if you know you've covered the bases, and have been faithful to and honest with God's word, what else can be done but let the judge decide?
2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, (25) In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; (26) And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.So while it is necessary to rebuke error, that's just a tributary to the higher goal of edification, setting forth the clear teaching of the word, with the objective of building up faith in Jesus, Whose name is as wonderful in Greek as it is in Arabic, or Hebrew, or Chinese, or Kurdish, or whatever, because His name is all about Who He is, not the poor croaking sounds we make. When we one day learn the tongues of Angels, even then there will still be no sweeter praise to His holy name, than to recall His amazing love and grace, in that while we were yet sinners, He died in our place, and drew us to Himself with the cords of love.
An off-thread response to an on thread attack is what the mod has recommended here for years.
When the attacker brings it back to the thread, this is what happens.
.
That is preposterous. Only two verses later he obviously is talking about the whole law.
Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word,
Earlier in the chapter he said this.
Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.
Not a good place for those of you pushing the law.
No, they don't. And for sure none that I would listen to. Rood actually changes the meaning when he does it just as you do here.
What is preposterous is your arrogant replies to what is clear fact.
Circumcision and Judaism are almost perfect synonyms as used in the NT.
Justification by the Law is a tennet of Judaism’s error.
The Galatians were being prodded by Pharisees to follow their rules, and Paul was directing them back to the Way.
Your empty reading of the chapter is like a dog chasing its own tail.
And finally, I do not push “the law,” I push obedience to his commandments, as he demanded, and as all of the four great apostles concurred.
It appears as though you fear that obedience for some reason, while his followers embrace it. Love is the reason for the law, and why he writes his laws on the hearts of those that seek him.
.
The difference I see in this case is that the "judge" changes each day. We are not refuting error here over and over for the sake of those who continue to post those errors but for those who read these posts who change from day to day.
Nice try but that is not what appears to have happened this time. The "attacker" went private with the attack.
No, Rood has never changed the meaning of anything that I have seen; he makes the meaning clearer, and easier to remember.
And every minister that I can recall does indeed encourage people to write in explanations in the margins of their Bibles,and most serious students do so, as can be seen when they open those Bibles in a meeting.
.
It is exactly what happened.
I have no desire to take it further, so please stop your flame war too.
So, you think we’ve converted him to Roman Catholicism yet? If not, how many more days does this quarantine have to last?
I’ve shown you on this very thread where you have changed the words which changed the meaning of scripture. Explanations in the margins is much different then changing the very words in scripture.
I'm not surprised.
LOL!
Rood's version.
" I have not written everything that could, or should be written about Yahshua of Nazareth, but these things I have written, so that you might know and believe that Yahshua is the messiah." Yochanan (John) 20:30-31
From real scripture.
John 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Notice any differences in Rood's MIV version? Also some important lines omitted? Don't tell me he doesn't change scripture.
Please give up your agitated flame war.
Enough!
And if you wish to argue with Michael Rood, here is his phone number: 888-766-3610

What’s the matter? Do I have too many facts for you? I have seen what that fraud has put out and what he says. I have no need to call him but if you come in here and promote his teaching and I will expose the truth.
Please stop.
You’re doing yourself no favor.
I have promoted absolutely nothing from Rood. If you knew anything about him, you would see that.
.
I will continue to expose that fraud any time his teachings show up here.
