[Rashputin]

Interesting selection from Thess. when Timothy is so often quoted here. You should be the one thinking long and hard on whether quoting a verse from the The Dead Sea Scrolls that can't be found is being deliberately baited into using something that is in error. Their source for the quote may well have been deliberately led astry by those who started such falsehoods by word of mouth before the web made it possible to do extensive checking on such things. Further, I don't understand why challenging those who stray from, But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition ..." can be interpreted as somehow assailing the Word, but go ahead, look at it any way you like. Accept that telling those who use insulting picutres and bold flashing text to mock others is a sincere obeying of His way of spreading the Word.

If you think rebuking someone for putting something secondary to the Gospel ahead of it is proof that the party rebuked is doing their good work as a disciple, then so be it. I suppose Timothy 2:23 only applies when you're talking to someone who agrees with you. Puff on up over being assailed by 'man' for quoting something deliberately intended to lead those who argue your side of the topic astray. I'm leaving this and the other regular wrestling matches to you.

Rightly put, there is a good quotation from the Bible for such folks as this

Psalm 92:6

Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,

[Quix]

MORE OUTRAGEOUS FALSEHOODS.

No one is putting anything ahead of GOD’S WORD.

Thessalonians is clear enough.

Y’all seem to refuse to deal with Thess.

Jack Van Impe for all his flaws is not a slouch researcher and neither is Holly Deo. I have great confidence it is as they asserted. Whether we can verify that or not, remains to be seen.

Your assumptions about that are no better founded than mine—and a lot less founded, imho.

May The Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob fiercely rebuke all hostility to and avoidance of the truths of HIS WORD.
