@FluffyYellowDuck I see that W E B Griffin the writer of the series and of a lot of military background books died not so long ago...

@Mayflower Seems like you have been enjoying 1 Timothy lately.... :)

@Mayflower Now we have eaten supper ( :) ), back to 1 Timothy.... Yes, it would seem that the context of verse 14 relates to local public ministry. In verse 17 of chapter 5 Paul refers to: (them) "that labour in the word and in doctrine". Bearing in mind also that it is ultimately the Holy...

@Mayflower So you mean: .... Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

@GodsGrace Well, more for them than for me; but so many ppl seem to think so now....and use them in witness, anyway....

@Mayflower Excellent, yes.... :)

@Mayflower Thanks for the comment; sorry, did you mean verse 26 or 16?

Hi @Mayflower You saw the other thread; I also started this one; maybe not necessarily very remarkable but some methods of Bible study among others which seem to help one person.....

@FluffyYellowDuck Great, memorable passage there from Matthew 11... :)

@GodsGrace Yes, exactly; such a lot of modest Christians - Christian women especially - have them done, often in faith based designs. (I think the polygamy thing is a red herring, so to speak...)

@Wynona FYI.............

"Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." (Jude 3)

@FluffyYellowDuck The trouble is also that so many people have replaced the 'marry in haste' syndrome with 'roll a condom in haste', which does not improve matters. If the guy seems in such a hurry, it really is reasonable to expect him to wait. (I always think that prayer and Bible study are...

Hebrews as an Epistle does have as its background the particular situation of Hebrew Christians. Others reading it can of course gain much profit.

This latest 'Stewards of Grace' talk is really one person's Bible study method among many; some may find some useful points:
