That is, here Timothy is encouraging the reader to separate truth from false, and is an implication that not all that is made of The Word is, in fact, true.

Paul to indicate the responsibility of the Christian teacher to apply conceptually the Word correctly. <BR/>Specifically, it has a significant meaning speaking of the minister's and consequently overall the church's responsibility to follow correct-ortho, basis-tomo (which has a division connotation) for 1. each theological belief and 2. each ecclesiastical function and way of conduct. It is our observation that Christian churches orthotomoun much better theologically but rate poorly in their orthotomisi on matters of conduct and ecclesiastical functions.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>MarioMariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875432316569921919noreply@blogger.com
