God has laid it out very simply, and we can see that as we go through. The problem is not what God's word says verses what people believe it says. The problem is that we believe by doctrine, but not by function, that Jesus Christ is the head of His church. He's in charge. And if He says this is the way I want my church to be, then that's the way it is. It has nothing to do with what I believe or don't believe, or what I care for.
It's really responding to Christ as head of the church and knowing that this is His letter saying here's how I want the church to be when it officially gathers together for an assembly, to represent Christ, to worship Christ, and to learn of Him. So, it is very important to understand that perspective. You will probably find at least one thing in 1 Timothy that's going to offend you, maybe even make you angry.
Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:16, that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for:
DOCTRINE: The book of Romans is the doctrine of the Christian faith.
FOR REPROOF: That is conviction, and that's 1st and 2nd Corinthians.
FOR CORRECTION: That's the book of Galatians.
FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: That's Ephesians through Philemon. Of course, Paul wrote Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, and those are called prison epistles, or prison letters because they were written by Paul in his first imprisonment in Rome, along with Philemon.
If Philemon is part of this group, what's it doing on the end? 1st and 2nd Thessalonians were written to the Christians in Thessalonica. 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus, these are called pastoral epistles, or pastoral letters.
