1 Timothy 1:7b

 

DailyBibleStudy.Org

 

 

7 Desiring [thelo] to be [einai] teachers of the law; [nomodidaskalos] [me] understanding [noeo] neither [mete] what [hos] they say, [lego] nor [mete] whereof [peri] [tis] they affirm. [diabebaioomai] KJV-Interlinear

 

 

7 wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. NASB

 

 

The four characteristics of the efforts of promoters of false information, is their error, their goal, their motive, and their effect or outcome.

 

We have now covered the first three characteristics of promoters of false information, their error, their goal, and their motive.

 

Their information is incorrect, their goal is self-serving, and their concern for others is non-existent.

 

Which means, as we stated yesterday, simply that their preparation is flawed and lacking in substance, and therefore if their facts are flawed, then their understanding is flawed.

 

And that brings us to today s study.

 

The understanding, noeo, of those who promote false information, does not exist.This combination of words, mete, means that their lack of understanding is ongoing and perpetual. This means that they are in a continual state of not understanding.

 

That simply means that they do not know what they are talking about.

 

And that should be rather obvious.If the information, belief, idea, that someone is presenting is false, then it does not exist. If it does not exist than the person promoting the idea, cannot know what they are talking about.

 

And if they cling to their false beliefs, then they will remain in a state of perpetual ignorance.

 

But not only that, these false communicators who cling to their false beliefs, actually subscribe wholeheartedly to their false ideas.

 

They, affirm, diabebaioomai, which means to confirm, assert, insist, have established within themselves. Their whole position is false, and yet they cling to something that does not exist. They are holding on to nothing.

 

And as they insist in their position, then they will refuse with great stubbornness, to even consider their error. They will refuse to examine truth, and they will refuse to examine their own beliefs.

 

And you are being taught this, because if you ever fade away from the teaching which comes out from the Bible, then you risk becoming just like them.Trapped in your own stubborn beliefs of that which is false.

 

For scriptures were revealed first to Adam, in the form of the promise of a Savior. Enoch taught salvation and the last days.Noah listened and obeyed. Abraham listened and received the promise of the line of the Savior.Moses recorded the first five books of the Bible, and many prophets and scribes recorded the scriptures over the course of many, many centuries. The apostles and others wrote the content of the New Testament, and John closed the writing of Gods total revelation with the last book by that name.

 

During those times, and in the centuries following, many false writings have appeared, in an attempt to dilute, destroy, and replace, or even re-write the original texts of the Bible.

 

And yet the Bible has been tried, tested, attacked, and torn apart by the best that humanity has to offer, and yet it still stands, translated into every language on the planet.

 

Verified by such documents as Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Alexandrinus, the Ephraemi Rescriptus, the Masoretic Text, Textus Recepticus, many thousands of manuscripts liberated by Marc Antony and delivered to Cleopatra and held in Egyptian libraries, archaeological finds such as the Oxyrhynchos papyri, the Chester Beatty Papyri, the work of Deissmann, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the work of Josephus, the endorsement work of Eusebius, of Tertullian, the Homologogoumena, the Antilegomena, commentary from people who lived in the first century A.D. verifying the authenticity of the New Testament writings such as Clement, Barnabus, Didache, Polycarp the bishop of Smyrna, Papias the bishop of Heirapolis, Justin, Tatian, Ignatius the bishop of Antioch, and a couple of centuries later, the scriptures were again authenticated by men such as Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen.

 

The canon of scripture was reviewed and confirmed by the Council of Laodicea, the Council of Damascus, the Council of Carthage, the Council of Hippo, and then there was the document of documents the Muratorian Fragment which dated to the second century and provided a catalog of scriptures further verifying the content and authenticity of the New Testament.

 

There have been many translations from these original documents, by Caedmon, Aldhelm, Bede, Alfred the Great, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Coverdale and Matthew, and finally the King James version and then the several revisions that have been published since then.

 

And this is just a few of the many documented examples that authenticate the scriptures.

 

No other religion has endured or been subjected to such a long standing or vigorous review of their records. And the Bible remains.

 

But the best source of Biblical authentication comes from Jesus Christ Himself, Lk 11:51, Matt. 23:36, wherein He ties the entire range of the Old Testament scriptures together, From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias.

 

All religions, all philosophies, all cults, all beliefs in this world are false. And those who promote them are false.

 

Only Christianity possesses truth, the source of truth, and the means of communicating truth. And only Christianity is able to withstand the test of time and analysis.No other religion or belief can.
