INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

1 Timothy Chapter 1: THE MOST GRACE GIVEN

(1 Timothy 1:1 [AKJV/PCE])
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;


JESUS CHRIST, OUR GOD, OUR SAVIOUR

(1 Timothy 2:3 [AKJV/PCE])
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

(Titus 1:4 [AKJV/PCE])
To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.

(Titus 3:6 [AKJV/PCE])
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

(2 Timothy 1:10 [AKJV/PCE])
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:


(1 Timothy 1:2 [AKJV/PCE])
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

(1 Timothy 1:3 [AKJV/PCE])
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.


FABLES AND ENDLESS GENEALOGIES: COMPROMISE IN GENESIS

The evening and the morning...seven literal days. The "fables and endless genealogies were not pat of the Jewish recorded family lines, their imaginary traditional teachings on Genesis, as this is not what reading them would lead to believing. No amount of Scripture twisting will get one there without compromise, private interpretation and ignoring the entire context. What Paul is speaking of here is straight, strict paganism ,with the belief accompanying it, that origins goes way back for eons, Darwinims, evolutionism being thrust into the Word of God and trying to accommodate, meld the two. It simply fails the sniff test.

(Genesis 1:5 [AKJV/PCE])
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

(Genesis 1:8 [AKJV/PCE])
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

(Genesis 1:13 [AKJV/PCE])
And the evening and the morning were the third day.

(Genesis 1:19 [AKJV/PCE])
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

(Genesis 1:23 [AKJV/PCE])
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

(Genesis 1:31 [AKJV/PCE])
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

(Exodus 20:11 [AKJV/PCE])
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

(Romans 5:12-14 [AKJV/PCE])
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.


(1 Timothy 1:5 [AKJV/PCE])
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

(John 13:34-35 [AKJV/PCE])
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

(1 Timothy 1:6 [AKJV/PCE])
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

JAN'GLE, v.i. To quarrel in words; to altercate; to bicker; to wrangle. JAN'GLE, v.t. To cause to sound untunably or discordantly.
--E'er monkish rhymes, Had jangl'd their fantastic chimes.

(1 Timothy 1:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

(1 Timothy 1:8 [AKJV/PCE])
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

(Galatians 3:24-25 [AKJV/PCE])
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

(1 Timothy 1:10-11 [AKJV/PCE])
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

THE GOSPEL OF THE BLESSED GOD, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

(Romans 15:29 [AKJV/PCE])
And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

(1 Corinthians 9:12 [AKJV/PCE])
If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

(1 Corinthians 9:18 [AKJV/PCE])
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

(2 Corinthians 4:4 [AKJV/PCE])
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

(2 Corinthians 9:13 [AKJV/PCE])
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;

(2 Corinthians 10:14 [AKJV/PCE])
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

(2 Corinthians 11:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?

(Galatians 1:7 [AKJV/PCE])
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

(Philippians 1:27 [AKJV/PCE])
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

(1 Thessalonians 2:2 [AKJV/PCE])
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

(1 Thessalonians 2:8-9 [AKJV/PCE])
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

(1 Thessalonians 3:2 [AKJV/PCE])
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

(2 Thessalonians 1:8 [AKJV/PCE])
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

(1 Peter 4:17 [AKJV/PCE])
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?


WHOREMASTER, n. [supra.] One who practices lewdness.

(1 Timothy 1:12 [AKJV/PCE])
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST/CHRIST JESUS

(Romans 3:22 [AKJV/PCE])
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

(Galatians 2:16 [AKJV/PCE])
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

(Philippians 3:9 [AKJV/PCE])

(1 Timothy 1:15 [AKJV/PCE])
