  • Lavan on Titus 3 - 3 years ago
    Hi, I want to know does verses 10-11 apply to all disagreements or just a scripture.
  • Mishael comment on Titus - In Reply on Titus 3 - 3 years ago
    I looked at the commentary on this website.

    Put the verse you're searching in the search box.

    Touch the screen and it will turn yellow.

    Scroll down to the Commentary Box. Click

    You should be seeing basically what the verse means. We can also google too.

    It says Paul was up in years and we know he had been abused every way imaginable by all kinds: especially Jews. Yes he tells us to avoid what they are yelling, etc.

    Don't invite them to your church or meetings unless they are believers in Jesus!

    The commentary refers us to the Book of Galatians for more information on this.

    My comment: God has a plan for the resistant Jews; but it will not be in force until the fullness of the Gentiles is completed.

    I like a book by Arthur E Bloomfield;

    written in the 70's but read it alongside today's daily news and your mouth might drop.

    *Before The Last Battle (Armageddon) 1971

    *Understanding Revelation (2002)

    *Signs Of His Coming (Olivet Disclosure) 1962

    *How to Recognize The Antichrist (1975)

    He has other books: early 70's

    End of Days: Daniels Vision

    The Changing Climate (Bible Story of Water)

    These books are very inexpensive and easy to obtain from my favorite bookseller:

    AbeBooks. They're not easy to find locally.
  • Chris - In Reply on Titus 3 - 3 years ago
    Lavan, this Scripture only applies to conduct within the Church Body. A heretic is someone who attends a Fellowship but wilfully rejects or opposes the established doctrines/teachings of the Church. And this was very important especially in the early Church as there were a lot of other divergent doctrines entering in (e.g. gnostic teaching) that attempted to water down or introduce new teaching that would lead believers away from the Truth.

    So Paul was warning Titus about this matter (along with other warnings) that a heretic should be first warned first but if he refuses to repent & come back to apostolic teaching, he should be rejected (maybe dis-fellowshipped or being avoided altogether).
