Ministers of Faith vs Dividers of Faith (Romans 16)

John Young

Entry posted by John Young in Book Of Romans

The Book of Romans ends with Paul the Apostle commending many wonderful believers and ministers of faith who spend their time being faithful examples of the Christian life and doctrine Paul has been presenting in his gospel doctrine. He interjects his commendations with an extortion to be careful not to follow the example of those who divide and hurt or teach doctrine contrary to what Paul and other apostles have taught. 

"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." ~ Romans 16:17-20

      A Word Fitly Spoken

      By Jerry · Posted

      Does God Delight In You? Psalms 18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. If you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation, you are accepted in Him by the Father - and you therefore become a child that He delights in. Proverbs 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. We may not like the application of this second verse to ourselves, but He corrects us beca

      A Word Fitly Spoken

      By Jerry · Posted

      Reading The Scriptures   There are two main words for know (and its forms) in the New Testament.   1) Strong’s #1492, eido. This word basically has the idea of head knowledge, knowing about something.   2) Strong’s #1097, ginosko (from the root word, gnosis, knowledge). This word has the idea of knowing about something personally, personally experiencing what you know about.   Looking up every time the word know (or a form thereof) occurs in the NT (with these ba

      The Furnace of Affliction - Part One

      Good to see the two studies on this theme still here in the Sermons section. My websites got repeatedly hacked two years ago. We lost all content and had to rebuild from scratch. These two were ones I still hadn't put up again. A bit of copy and paste, and there we go!

      DRAW NEAR TO GOD   Song of Songs 1:4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.   The above verse is a prayer or desire of the believer desiring to fellowship with her Lord.   I love how the Word of God uses the idea of God drawing us to Himself.   Firstly, through His death on the cross and the preaching of the G

      Israel's Faith Restored: After God's Gentiles Enter (Romans 11:25-36)

      By Martyr_4_FutureJoy · Posted

      No debate. God told the first man and woman,  husband and wife,  that they would die if they disobeyed Him. They disobeyed Him. They died.  The time that passed before this was physically observed was considerably longer than 75 years, right ?  So also today,  do not look at what is seen with the eyes, nor listen to what is heard with the ears (carnal, fleshly, worldly, physical),  rather trust ABBA YHVH.

      If that were true then Israel as a nation wouldn't still be blind. As the scripture says, "blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." No need to debate over the part that is clearly stated.

      fwiw,   I simply believe that it may be that the time of the gentiles closed years if not decades ago.        All the arguments and debates given otherwise seem to be self-contradictory,  and/or alter or twist God's Word for the purpose of a tradition of men.   That's not a surprise,  since most religious teachers Jesus spoke to in person who went along with the religion of the day likewise, Jesus said,  put man's tradition in place of and over God's Word.    It might not be so sometimes today,

      Two Types of Women (Their path, Proverbs 7, Part 3)

      By BrotherTony · Posted

      Not really being "critical" of you personally... you're correct in saying it's duality... let's be clear... it's a book of many comparisons, not absolutes... only these two types. There are many preachers I'm aware of who present it as such. As I stated, I grew up under such a pastor. I don't believe that is what you are trying to do here. I just want to make sure there's a clarification for anyone else who sees this on this site. 🤠

      By John Young · Posted

      Proverbs is literally about using duality and cuplits to make clear points for edification. Be carful you arent so critical towards me (I don't mind) that what you are criticizing is the practice of the scripture itself!

      By BrotherTony · Posted

      There are definitely more than two types of women. This is the kind of limited pastoral print I was raised under and one reason so many people no longer trust preachers. These pigeon holed type casts don't serve Christians well in my opinion.
