06-30-24 Rightly Dividing the Word 2Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. This is becoming an issue in the Body of Christ As some think this is an excuse to divide the Word into scriptures they want to apply Or scriptures they do not want to obey Never are we told to take anything away from scripture, never Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 2Tim 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2Tim 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 2Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 2Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. I am finding this common in those who want to defend the hyper grace message They want to cut out anything that does not fit their doctrine Or they want to blame it on who it was supposedly written to and for All Scripture is for us, ALL John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. If you get sidetracked thinking some verses are not for today or you in particular You do not fully develop We are repeatedly told to keep and maintain ALL scripture Make every effort [Do your best; Be diligent] to ·give [present] yourself to God as the kind of person he will approve. Be a worker who ·is not ashamed [or will not be shamed] and who ·uses the true teaching in the right way [correctly handles the true message/word of truth; or holds carefully to the true message/word of truth]. 2 Tim 2:15 Expanded Bible Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The reasons for incorrect belief are several Most do not have the Baptism of the Holy Ghost They are trying to understand God from a head knowledge Another reason is misunderstanding of the translator's wording In this instance, dividing is not defined nor used as we know divide to mean It is not used to separate and exclude as in divided up Most people confuse it as the Greek word “merizo” Meaning to divide or separate into parts https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g3307/kjv/tr/0-1/ Luke 12:13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. But in 2 Tim 2:15 It is a different Greek word only used once It is the Greek word orthotomeō https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g3718/kjv/tr/0-1/ And it means To cut straight, to make straight, to handle aright, to teach the truth directly and correctly The reason again for the importance of this is it determines how and what you believe You will only grow in grace with a proper belief in the unadulterated word of God Not excuses as to why or reasonings so as to support your incorrect doctrine The very thing they are proclaiming is what they are doing To their hurt 1Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1Cor 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 1Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1Cor 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 1Cor 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. We will give account of our treatment of the scriptures 1Cor 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 1Cor 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 1Cor 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1Cor 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1Cor 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 1Cor 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1Cor 3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1Cor 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Cor 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1Cor 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1Cor 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 1Cor 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 1Cor 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 1Cor 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. If you love Jesus, He will keep you John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
