About
Titus
Titus
1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Emmanuel the Christ,
according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging.(original
can also mean 'knowledge').of
the truth which is after.(or,
as the original has it 'according to').Godliness.
Notice
that the knowledge of the truth is according to how
Godly you have become.
Titus
1:2 In hope.(not
a hope that it may come, but an assurance, a sureness that you have it
now, that is, if it's real in your mind, not a hope to just sort of know
of:.Romans
4:17}:.Colossians
2:2; Titus 3:7; 1John
1:2; Hebrews 6:11).of
eternal
life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.(*);
God's
plan for the multiverse is all encompassing.
Titus
1:3 But has in due times manifested his word through preaching, which
is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
Titus
1:5 For this cause left I you in Crete, that thou shouldest set in
order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city, as I
had appointed thee.
Titus
1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children
not accused of riot or unruly.(children
who are obstinate:.1Timothy
3:4).
Titus
1:7 For a bishop.(original
is 'overseer, 'one qualified to help others', a mature Christian, a pastor
or teacher).must be blameless,
as the steward of God; not selfwilled.(original
is 'concerned with pleasing himself', selfish),
not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre.(an
overconcern with money).
Titus
1:8 But a lover of hospitality,
a lover of good men.(original
'good friends', so, 'a lover of hospitality and good friends'),
sober.(orignal
for word 'sober' is 'well
grounded', that is, sensible,
having commonsense,
practical,
not silly),
just,
holy,
temperate;
Titus
1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he
may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Able
to converse.intelligently.
Titus
1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially
they of the circumcision.
Who
were these concocting
their agenda
against We the People?.Galatians
2:12.
Titus
1:11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert
whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's.(original
for 'lucre' is 'shameful gain' which is illicit
selfish gain made at expense and/or harm in some way to another or others,
such as the satanic corrupt court/judicial/legal systems of Maritime/Abmiralty/Civil/Statute
law are involved in; God is in
you. Follow and take action on your guidance
to avoid being
sucked
in).sake.
Titus
1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet
of their own said the Cretians.(inhabitants
of the island of Crete).are
alway liars, evil.(original
'bad natured').beasts.(original
'like a wild animal'), slow.(original
'preferring
to be idle', lazy).bellies.(Philippians
3:19).
Titus
1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they
may be sound in the faith;
Wake
others up who are not yet grounded in truth and have listened to falsehoods.
Titus
1:14 Not giving heed
to fables created
by those
calling themselves Jews and the commandments.(or
opinions).designed by these
satanically influenced men to turn you away from the truth.
Traditions
of worship that often have little if anything, to do with the truth and
were propagated by corrupt ones for nefarious
purposes.
Titus
1:15 Unto the pure.(*).all
things are pure, but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving.(1Timothy
1:13).is nothing pure, but
even their mind and conscience is defiled.(1Timothy
4:1,2).
One
should shy away from doing anything that their intuition
wells up to their mind that is doubtful, example.
See AskSuby for quick guidance.
Titus
1:16 They profess that they know God, but in works they deny him, being
abominable and disobedient and unto every
good work.reprobate.(that
is, 'not standing the test':.1John
4:1).
They
don't follow in their heart what they want others to believe they are like:.Colossians
2:18. They are insincere.
Here's what Christ said about them:.Matthew
23:23 33.
Matthew
7:15-20.
Titus
2:2 That the aged men be sober.(original
'calm', 'collected', a well balanced individual), grave.(original
'worthy of attention as an example', 'honest'), temperate.(not
excessive; self-controlled), sound in faith.(not
worried or fearful), in charity,
in patience.
Titus
2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becomes holiness.(from
original, so as 'not to stand out' as being not a balanced individual),
not false accusers.(original
is 'devil'; devils are liars,
but know when to keep your mouth shut and when
is a lie a lie?), not given to.(original
for word 'given' is 'a slave to', where it controls you , not you controlling
it).much wine.(*),
teachers of good things.(good
things are those which prompt
good decisions and actions in the listener);
Titus
2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober.(original
is 'self-controlled, holding on to their duties' {as a mother and partner},
not to be frivolous
and silly),
to love.(original
is 'be friendly toward sex').their
husbands, to love.(original
is 'be a friend to').their children,
Titus
2:5 To be discreet,
chaste,
keepers at home, good, obedient.(original
'adapting to the man's ways and time' as the main breadwinner).to
their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus
2:6 Young men likewise exhort
to be sober minded.
Titus
2:7 In all things showing yourself a pattern of good works; in doctrine.(original
'teaching').showing uncorruptness.(original
'integrity',
not playing mind games which can generate confusion:.1Corinthians
14:33), gravity,
sincerity,
Titus
2:8.Sound
speech, that cannot be condemned.(is
not offending to others with speech that comes with wild, almost uncontrollable,
anger
filled
expressions
of desperation
and a ranting
and raving.lunatic.manner);
that he that is of the contrary
part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
Proverbs
15:1.
Titus
2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters and to please
them well in all things; not answering again;
Titus
2:10 Not purloining,
but showing all good fidelity;
that they may adorn the doctrine.(original
'teaching').of God our Savior
in all things.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God makes salvation
appear to all humanity.
Titus
2:11 For the
grace
of God makes salvation appear to all humanity.
Note that it's
God's grace that brings salvation
and not God requiring our keeping of laws as the ancients agreed to do
in Old Testement times:.Exodus
19:7,8. Salvation is here and now, thanks to what Christ did for humanity
to awaken to. Once man awakens,
he knows his true state.in
eternity and he doesn't awaken until the grace of God is upon him:.1Corinthians
1:4. In other words 'the grace of Creator-God upon one is his salvation
through
awakening'. The Creator looks to you, wants you and you are awakened
to your saving from the perils of the
world by the resurrected life of He
who gave His physical life for our lives and so then, but what it do
does it do unless when in
Christ we are then saved because of this decision God made regarding
you and others who may awaken at this time:.Romans
8:37-39. Do something good
with your life because good is of God and consider the many
spiritual prompts that daily come to you. Thoughts come from circumstances
of life and here you always have choice.(*).
Pick up on this from
Dr. Joe Murphy.
Titus
2:12 Teaching us that, denying
unGodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and
Godly, in this present world;
Titus
2:13 Looking.(where
does one look?).for that blessed
hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Emmanuel
the Christ;
The
verse could have been better translated:.'trusting
God to bring us along the pathway lit by the example Emmanuel left for
us'.
Romans
8:23 "...we ourselves groan within ourselves waiting for the adoption,
the redemption of our body."
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might
redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works.
Titus
2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might.(no
'might' about it; word 'might' not in the original).redeem.(original
'release upon receiving of ransom;
the life of Christ was regarded as the epitome
of value for all claiming it applicable to their lives:.Galatians
1:4).us from all iniquity.(*).and
purify unto himself.(Ephesians
2:10).a peculiar.(original
'things of one's own'; that is, things of God; we belong to God and are
His people once He has given us the Holy Spirit,
which is the same nature of love God has if we choose to follow:.Acts
17:30).people,
zealous
of good works.
Notice it is
Him that redeems,
purifies
and helps us to come into more and more
higher consciousness thinking and actions, the result of being
in Christ. We were already saved, but didn't know it:.2Timothy
1:9.
Titus
2:15 These things speak and exhort
and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.
Original
for 'Let no man despise you' is 'Despise no one, not even yourself'. And
how? Conduct yourself with dignity,
that being with no acts of despicability.
Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to.principalities
and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
Titus
3:1 Put them in mind to be subject
to.(original for
word 'subject' is 'to arrange oneself', that is, learn
how to get along with others:.Romans
12:18; Philippians 2:3).principalities.(original
for word 'principalities' is 'beginning'; beginning
of what?.2Thessalonians
2:13).and powers, to obey magistrates.(original
for words 'obey magistrates' is 'to be persuaded of something enough to
let it rule you, to let it be your guide' and to do that you have to look
into it enough to be persuaded;
in
other words, be sure that what anyone may be advising you on has actual.merit,
before
you take any action or accept what they are telling you.{Acts
17:11}.and
that because the court, justice, legal system and their dictates are on
a different track than God's, their track being false and corrupt; learn
about it), to be ready to every good work.
What
is 'good work?
Titus
3:2 To speak evil.(word
'evil' here means 'blaspheme').of
no man, to be no brawlers.(those
quick to fly
off the handle), but gentle, showing all meekness
unto people.
Titus
3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice.and
envy, hateful and hating one another.
Paul,
before his conversion, greatly
was an example of the bad things this verse mentions:.Romans
7:14-25.
1Corinthians
6:11; 2Corinthians 4:2.
Titus
3:4 But after.(or,
'because of' the way people had been).that
the kindness and love of God.(*).our
Savior toward man appeared,
God
loves humanity
so very much (John
3:16,17), He
became
the Son who appeared on Earth in the physical form of the One called
Emmanuel;
verses 4,5 here show that humanity without God couldn't develop righteousness
that would in any way awaken him to his true state, that of being a spirit/physical
creation by God the Father of all.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have
done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus
3:5 Not by.(or,
'because of').works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.(when
was this?.2Timothy
1:9; the word 'saved' means a
lot more than what it seems to just mean on the surface, it also means
to become whole by awakening to
one's true state), by the washing of regeneration.(original
means 'new birth').(*).and
renewing.(the physical
body is set up to automatically renew
as is also the invisible, but very real, spiritual body of us, so we can
grow further, can mature
in life:.1John
2:12-14; all is sustained.by
the
energy of the Father-Creator, by means of the essence
of the wholeness of spirit, the so-called
Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit).of
the Holy Ghost.
Keep your spiritual
life alive. How?
Titus
3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Emmanuel the Christ, our
Savior;
How
does this apply to each of us?
Titus
3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.
Original
is.'That being
justified
by his grace, we then are
heirs according to the hope of eternal living':.Titus
1:2. It's 'according to' because, as hope is a spiritual quailty, an
attribute
of joy, as grace also is, it's a
supply like all things from the spirit of the Creator. Keep up your
study.
Do the
disciplines:.Luke
8:13-15; 1Timothy 6:12.
Titus
3:8 This is a faithful saying and these things I will that you affirm
constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to
maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men..(*)
All
good works come from a spiritual heart of love:.Matthew
6:22. If you do good works, you have that spiritual heart of love:.Romans
13:10.
Titus
3:9 But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions and
strivings about the law.(such
as:.Mark
12:13; John 8:5), for
they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus
3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition
reject..(?)
Titus
3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted and sinneth, being condemned
of himself.
Titus
3:12 When I shall send Artemas unto you or Tychicus, be diligent to
come unto me to Nicopolis, for I have determined there to winter.
Titus
3:13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos
on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
Titus
3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain
good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
