    being Sober

    "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;" 1 Timothy 3:2 KJV

    A sober person is serious person (making and doing what is important, taking the gospel of Jesus Christ seriously. Since as in the office of a Bishop, God is the supervisor of this office, if you will, and God is a spirit. Being able to have a knowing of the unseen presence of God at all times. (all believers should have a God consciousness)

    A sober person is a solemn person (being able to perform sacred ceremonies or worship rituals with great importance and in a highly serious manner.

    In order for a Bishop to perform this their thinking has to be sober, and not experiencing uncontrolled thoughts, having complete focus and be in charge of his thoughts and thinking on purpose. During times of holy ceremonies a Bishop needs to be fully reverencing God and the things of God, with his heart and mind open to God and not things of the flesh during sacred times and events.

    Because all believers need to be serious also and participate in solemn ceremonies a Bishop is needed to be an example of a sober minded person. A Bishop is needed to teach about such things as well.

    Respectfully submitted in the name of our precious Lord and Saviour Jesus, the Christ.
  • Tunney on 1 Timothy 3 - 1 year ago
    Our GOD and KING shows us the type of person an officer of the church should be. In fact, all believers and members of the body of CHRIST should strive to the same level of sanctification. Our commitment and obligation to the LORD is to follow HIS word.

    We seek to glorify and praise HIS name and show our trust in HIM by following HIS word closely as shown in the Scriptures we have in our hand.

    May we be crucified in CHRIST and walk in HIS spirit. Galatians 5:16

    Thank YOU FATHER, for the joy of the LORD is our strength.

    GOD bless everyone this Christmas season, and have a happy New Year!

    I really got a lot out of 1 Tim chapter 3. I didn't know the Lord had qualifiers for the church elders. Very enlightening.

    Tewana,

    The bible speaks of fornication as immoral. It refers to pre-marital sex. You can put fornication or sexually immoral in the search box and find scripture passages that speak to such as sinful.

    As Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, he was a dear friend of Jesus, as were his sisters. I assume that these tree were followers of Jesus, not apostles, but most likely disciples. Lazarus' was raised from the dead. If that were me, I would be compelled to follow the one who raised me and learn from Him.
  • TEWANA on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago

  • Patty Tozi on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Today l see God's hidden beauty that others are not seeing. For everyone is running in their own turmoil of this morning not yet promised to them. Money, Power, Greed, no heart for the needy. Only caring for me, myself, and l. Evilness is strong in these days. People are believing lies from Satan before going into the words of their Creator. The one who created everything on this Earth for them. The kindness of the Christian's are like a needle in a haystack. For there is few in-between the Evilness that now are around in these days.

    Why oh why can't you see the beauty that you should be seeing. God is sadden when He sees His creations going to be controlled by the Evil of these days, and not going to His Words that he has promised in the Bible. Going each morning on your knees to find what He has promised in His Words to carry you through the day. At night, thanking Him for seeing you through another day. And giving yourself to Him before you sleep. Asking for forgiveness of any sin you could of done, and not knowingly how to react. Ask for forgiveness. "Forgive me Father, for l have sinned, and fallen short of your Glory." To say that is to recognize and figure out what you did or thought, from the worlds point of evilness. For God wants you always to be a Blessing to others as His Son Jesus was as He walked on the Earth. So give a thought to this writing of mine, for My God put in my Heart to write, and show how He wants mankind to be, as our world becomes more and more into Revelation Days. Control!!!! Lies!!!! Meanest....Self...for God will start destroying what beauty we have on this Earth faster then now. For mankind has been destroying for some time out of Greed. .Heed my warnings!!!!!

  • Righteous Judgment and the Legal Process - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    'PEOPLE', is very large blanket kind of statement. Instead of naming a person, you accuse the entire group. These are just a few of the 5700 scriptures that deal with judgment. Mishael

    John 7:24

    Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    2 Peter 2:8

    (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds

    2 Thessalonians 1:6

    Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

    Revelation 22:11

    He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

    John 12:47

    And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

    Matthew 7:1

    Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    1 Corinthians 11:31

    For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

    Luke 6:37

    Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

    In your prayers, forgive. Then petition the Lord Jesus to be judge between those who offend your conscience and understanding of scripture. Jesus...is our go-to person in such matters.

    Book of Job 1:

    6 Now there was a day when the sons of God (evil angels) came to present themselves before the LORD (on His Throne), and Satan came also among them.

    7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

    Comment=they show up when they have someone to accuse. Satan=Accuser

    Always take your "legal issue" before the Lords Throne first. He has the best ATTORNEY, JESUS CHRIST.

    1 John 2:1 The Advocate.

  • Patty Tozi on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Miracles from God do happen know matter how old you are. Many Blessings came to me. Many mistakes l did not see.

    No vacations l lost how to relax. l kept working and helping others seek out their dreams. Thought time would stand still, There was no aging me. Saw the Lights of Heaven more then once. No one told me to seek life instead of work to build others so much. Want to be around God's creations as before.

    He always gave me what l wanted you see. Spiritual miracles, but l never stopped to understand. No one was around to help me understand, so l wrote all down. Natives. Medicine men. Miracles given to me. But l only look at what l have now l did not give to others, what God meant them to be for me. Miss my wolf and traveling. Miss my horse never time for them. Understand me now, for I only help others now see. Their gifts of love that comes to them from up above. But like me from the past they don't understand. In this world of evilness-- God's Love for them never is felt. For His Special Love shines inside of you to see-- His world not ours. For the evilness changes what is meant to be. A easier life, not the struggles you see....

    Stewart,

    Did you know The Beatles said they were bigger than Jesus. Is that where you got the 1+1+1 = 3 Hold him in your ams and you can feel his disease (antichrist).
  • Richard in Christ on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

    1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

    Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:

    That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

    And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

    Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits, And His glory is for ever and ever, And His might unto all generations.

    And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne, And His mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel: For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to Him and hath glorified Him.

    He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall, And He shall be the light of the Gentiles, And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.

    Open your eyes and lift up your hands if ye are able to recognize the Elect One. And the Lord of Spirits seated Him on the throne of His glory, And the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon Him, And the word of his mouth slays all the sinners, And all the unrighteous are destroyed from before his face.

    Hi Stewart.

    I'm only interested in ones salvation,

    And if One agrees with you and don't accept Christ then he's still lost.

    But if he accepts Christ the Holyspirit will reveal to him all he needs to Know.

    I'm sure you don't mind somebody wanting to preach the gospel/ Teachings on salvation without debating the trinity right.

    I'm sure no Christian would want to get in the way of that. It's what Jesus commanded.

    I have no further comments on that topic, Thank you and God bless you.
  • Stewart - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    It's interesting response any how , I disagree 1+1+1 = 3

    No matter how it's spun that's the sum .

    You gotta have the right God to start with all the rest is sin .
  • St Spencer - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Hi Stewart

    I'm so sorry!! That msg wasn't for you! I read your response from my email and realized It's me on the wrong thread!!

    That wasn't intended for you.

    again I'm sorry.

    God bless you.
  • S Spencer - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Stewart

    Trintarians believe in one God!

    You mis the point, is your view all you care about? What about Preaching and teaching the gospel?

    Muslims believe in one God but regects the gospel, are they saved?

    Are you saved? if so why not spend your time sharing how you got there.

    Let's grow up and take the first step of leading a productive and spiritual life and do what Christ commanded us to do and let the Holyspirit do the rest.

    HOW ABOUT GETTING TOGETHER AND SAVE SOME LIVES BY GETTING SALVATION RIGHT and everything else will fall in place in due time.

    A mark of a true Christian is to Love the brethren, not to seek and divide.

    PLEASE LET THIS THREAD BE ABOUT SALVATION!!! PLEASE.

    God bless.
  • Stewart - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    James also said there is one God even the devils know and tremble , not much fear of God these days .
  • S Spencer - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Hi Patty.

    You're right when said-

    ""You go to His words. You pray. After, you keep the Faith to believe it will be done. You go day to day believing and waiting for His soon return. That is what you do""

    But we are inspired by the Holyspirit to go out and distribute what you have faith and believe in. ( We work!)

    NOT TO BE SAVED, "BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED".

    For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10.

    This is what James is saying in his epistle.

    James 2:17-18. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

    Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

    God bless.
  • Patty Tozi on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Time never stands still. People are living and dying. This world has made life uncertain. So what do you do? You ask your Father in Heaven for help, as He gave us when His Son Jesus died and suffered for all our sins. You go to His words. You pray. After, you keep the Faith to believe it will be done. You go day to day believing and waiting for His soon return. That is what you do.
  • Sacha - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago

  • Ronnie on 1 Timothy 3:11 - 3 years ago
    There is a lot of I KNOW AND YOUR WRONG attitudes out here when it comes to The Word of "God", (yes spelled with a capital G by the way), but is it really getting us anywhere? 2 Timothy 2:23

    (But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.)

    Titus 3:9

    (But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.) When it comes to God's Word no one knows it better than God, go to him, pray for understanding and whatsoever in faith believing ye ask, ye shall receive! The preacher said it best in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

    For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.) God Bless and fight the good fight.
  • Patty Tozi on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    When you have a problem taking care of people in their last days, you can forget God is near. You react against yourself when you see their pain is bad and the system rules they cannot have pain medicine. So what l did this morning was fight for him thru our Lord Jesus Christ. For His sufferings for our sins, cannot be worse then the problems that mankind has with the enemy of this world. So l decide to fight for all mankind going through things..not just this person l take care of. For in the Bible l ask for help from the Mighty Light of God's word.

    You may be in difficult times. Don't get discouraged. Just remember how God has already parted the Red Sea many a time in your life and delivered you. On your knees and read God's words what He wants for you. The best is yet to come....

  • The Heartbeat of Time Genesis one one - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Wow that post must be a year old. I used to cut Benny a lot of slack because after I was saved out of the occult (1985), I had so much warfare. I was fearful to sleep, so I got really sick. I needed to get milk for the kids so the Lord got me in the car. To shorten the story: I bought 2 books I couldn't afford and get milk. One book was 1.00 and the other 2.00; milk 1.85 :D

    I had need of knowing what was going on in my home. It was full of demons. I got back in bed and read Bennys book. I realized what my problems were! Then I read part of Angels by Charles Capps. I got out of bed and exercised my baby christian faith; ordered the demons to leave! And asked for angels to guard the 4 corners of my house. Then, I was able to sleep!

    I know what people say about Benny Hinn, but his book saved my life. I've only heard Jeff Fenholt testify demons levitated his bed too; when he was sleeping in it. I'm leaving out the other details. Too scary.

    Also, I know Benny teaches a form of Old Earth theory, concerning satan, demons, etc. I do not support that theory at all.

    They must obey the Authority of Jesus Name. I only study a King James Version Bible and a Strongs Concordance.

    I asked the Lord about the Old Age Theory. The Holy Spirit took me to Genesis 1:1. If God wanted us to LEARN pre-Adamic happenings, God would've included a Book in the Bible. It was omitted because the entire Bible focuses on one person: Jesus. His genealogy, birth, life, death and resurrection; the Book of Revelation.

    Genesis 1:1 blows Old Age Theory out of sight when God SET TIME IN MOTION. In beginning...

    (In Hebrew language there is no "The".

    The first verse explains the 4 unanswered questions scientists have tried to explain throughout mans history: Time, Force, Action, Matter.

    I'm sorry, but I do not dig in Christian books. I only use the Bible. I learned to read it slow to find the answers.

  • Rick Colombe - In Reply on 1 Timothy 3 - 3 years ago
    Mishael,,.... I have read your posts frequently, and have been in agreement with you often, yet I'm troubled over your post which credits Benny Hinn and his teaching titled "war in the Heavenlies ". Do you adhere to Hinn's teachings? Are you in agreement with Benny Hinn. Please respond. May God bless you and keep you true to His Word.
