1Timothy
6:3 If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words.(words
that produce good and are
sound
and
sensible),
even
the words of our Lord Emmanuel
the Christ
and to the doctrine
which is according to Godliness;
1Timothy
6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting
about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy,
strife,
railings,
evil
surmisings;
2Peter
2:3 "And through covetousness.(that
is, because they are that way).shall
they with feigned words make merchandise of you..."
1Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings
of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain
is Godliness, from such withdraw yourself.
1Timothy
6:5.Perverse.disputings.(Barnes
Notes: The words 'perverse disputings' properly means mis-employment,
that is, employing
means to get you into alignment with their ways, which ways are for the
gain of not you, but themselves; see verse above).of
men of corrupt.(comprised
from two original words meaning 'accuse so as to put you down' and 'destroy'
or another way they do is to make you think you have been on the wrong
pathway and that they can show you 'more light' and in a quicker manner
get you to where you want to go in life and this through books, subscriptions,
courses and various practices offered to keep you locked into their way
of thinking for as long as they can, in order to get more money from you;
a keeping you down by subtly
blaming you and urging you into what they are offering).minds.(a
corrupt mind is one of low consciousness acting selfishly and at disadvantage
to others).and destitute
of the truth, supposing.that
gain
is Godliness.(I
must be doing alright because things are going well financially and I did
it all for the money anyway:.Isaiah
33:15; Ecclesiastes 8:12;
comprised
from Barnes
Notes: Judging the consistency
of any course by its tendency
to promote outward prosperity; taking the Old Testament maxims
to use for gain and teaching their unfounded
application in New
Testament times, such as Malachi
3:7-10; Amos 2:6-8; 1Timothy
1:7), from such withdraw yourself.
1Timothy
6:6 But Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Doesn't
say Godliness with a lot of money (verse 10 below), but with contentment:.2Corinthians
9:8.
1Timothy
6:7 For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can
carry nothing out.
1Timothy
6:8 And having food and raiment
let us be therewith.content.
1Timothy
6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare
and into many foolish and hurtful
lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Things
to avoid: verse 5 above.
Hebrews
10:39.
1Timothy
6:10 For the love of money.(the
love of money is covetousness;
when you love something it is of great concern to you and this robs you
of being content:.verse
6 above; 2Peter 3:17).is
the root of all evil, which while some coveted.(original
for 'coveted after' is 'to give the self up to', that is, avoiding that
your true self is your
soul).after,
they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.
Money
is not the root of all evil. It has no brain. Money cannot make decisions
without human intervention. It's man's attitude about money that can make
it evil. When man loves money because he or she sees all it can do for
his or her life, this clouds out
the truth about the true God and money:.2Corinthians
9:8. Money simply amplifies the energy of the one who controls it.
Money is a tool not a master, but some get mastered by it, where aquisition
of it is their 'be
all end all'.
Matthew
6:11; 6:19,20; 6:25-33;
17:27;
Luke
16:11-13; 2Corinthians 3:5;
Philippians
4:19.
1Timothy
6:11 But you, O man of God, flee.(get
away from).these things and
follow after righteousness,
Godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1Timothy
6:12 Fight.(means
in the original 'to endeavor',
'to put forth effort':.1Corinthians
9:24-27; 2Timothy 4:7,8).the
good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto you are also called.(why
you're here:.2Timothy
1:9).and have professed
a good profession.(presented
a good example in words and manner).before
many witnesses.(what
witnesses?).
The
fight of faith means to keep in your heart that it's the faith
of Christ that is powerful and one does this by having the mind on
that whenever one feels that his or her faith is lacking; it always is,
but never His.
Learn from
David, Moses, Jonathan, Gideon and Joshua's examples
of trusting in God.
And about their
physical fighting:.John
18:36.
1Timothy
6:13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens.(word
'quickens'
in the original means 'makes alive', 'brings about').all
things and before Christ Emmanuel, who before.(or
when He was in front of).Pontius
Pilate, he witnessed a good confession.
Barnes
Notes: The same word in the original
Greek used here and translated 'confession', is used above in the previous
verse and is translated 'profession'.
Clarke's
Commentary: When He was in front of Pontius Pilate, what He said
was that He was the Messiah,
the King and that His kingdom was not of this world and that He would be
seen coming in the clouds of heaven to judge the quick and dead:.John
18:36,37; Mark 14:61,62.
The
example
of Emmanuel was always impeccable:.John
13:15; Matthew 5:48; 1Peter
2:21.
1Timothy
6:14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable,
until the appearing of our Lord.Emmanuel
the Christ.
Many
back then expected an imminent
return of He whom they saw leave Earth
to again be in the spiritual realm
we call 'heaven'. But when then is His
next coming?
1Timothy
6:15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only
Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords;
1Timothy 6:16 Who only has immortality, dwelling
in the light which no man can approach unto, whom no man has seen, nor
can see and to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
1Timothy
6:16 Who only has immortality.(word
immortality should not have been used here; proper use of the original
is in 2Timothy 1:10, where it
means the true only God of all compassion and love is
eternal,
that without the Creator there would not be eternal
life, for all eternal life is in the
oneness, the light God is, as expressed on
Earth as God's son and we in the Son's 'body':.Hebrews
10:5; when you're in God you have eternality; immortality was not a
good word to use here as there are evil beings who have immortality, which
means they can exist throughout ages, but they lack eternality, which is
living in a state of love and goodness forever, so though they may be immortal,
they won't be in what eternity means:.Jude
1:13), dwelling in the light.(original
Greek is 'phos' which means 'to make manifest especially by rays' and to
'make known one's thoughts' and 'to bring forth into the
light').which no man can approach
unto.(that is, no physical
man on and by his own volition
because it's a spiritual thing of God), whom no
man has seen, nor can see and to whom be honor and power everlasting.
Amen.
Comprised
with.Barnes
Notes.and.Clarke's
Commentary: the "Who only"
refers to the oneness. Those in the oneness of God also have immortality:1Corinthians
15:53,54; 2Timothy 1:10. The
word here for immortality properly means in the original 'exemption from
death' and seems to mean that God in his own nature, enjoys a perfect
and certain exemption from death and of course that is true as He is by
his very nature, eternal. Sentient
creatures have it only as they derive it from Him, from being in
Christ. It is one of the essential attributes of His being, that He
will always exist and that death
is out of the realm of God:.John
5:26 "The Father has life in himself..."
1John
5:11 "And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life
and this life is in his Son." 1Corinthians
2:9.
1Timothy
6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world.(James
5:1), that they be not highminded,
nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God.(*),
who
gives
us richly all things that are enjoyable.(John
10:10; 3John 1:2; Luke
6:38);
If you don't
feel rich in all areas of life, something is wrong and can be fixed. I
mean if God is active in a person, then are you less than God?.(*).Why
would anyone then not be rich as God is? God wants that for you, so let's
get you on that pathway of continuous joy from now on and without downsides
you may have been used to. The reason why anyone is not as rich as God,
is because they don't know about the gift God gave them to use. They haven't
been awakened to it, nor shown how to use it to bring them all they want.
Many, many others throughout history and increasing numbers of people today
were able to discover, in various ways, this gift that really opens up
God to a person (Acts 3:26), as it did
to Job (Job 42:10), Nebuchadnezzar
(Daniel 4:36) and so many others, as
discussed in a free book
from Bob Proctor. God knocks on all our doors many
times daily, but we avoid letting God in and that's to our detriment.
What
can we do about this conundrum?
The word 'gives'
in the original is 'to put forth in front of us', that is, the things or
the tools to use in bringing
the rich life to you.
1Timothy
6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute,
willing to communicate.
Original
'a partner in sharing, inclined to make others sharers in one's possessions,
inclined to impart, free in giving, liberal'.
1Timothy
6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against.(toward).the
time to come.(original
for 'the time to come' is 'caring about'), that they may
lay hold on eternal life.
Another
translation:.'Build
in yourselves a good foundation
by caring about the things toward eternal life':.1Peter
1:4; 5:4.
Or, 'lay a
strong spiritual foundation down, one based on love, because this will
allow you to continue on the pathway toward spiritual maturity':.Ephesians
4:13.
1Timothy
6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding
profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science falsely so called.
1Timothy
6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be
with thee. Amen.
This
first book of Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest
city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
....next
New Testament book is 2Timothy
