How to Handle Wayward Church Leaders. 1 Timothy 1-3
from The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming · host Bruce C. E. Fleming, Dr. Joy Fleming
When you study 1 Timothy do you take into account Paul's Three Sins? Do you keep in mind the reason Paul left Timothy behind in Ephesus? Have you noticed how God judges people differently based on whether they are first degree or second degree sinners? Focusing on these key items unlocks the tangled web of competing and confusing interpretations of 1 Timothy! Women and men who were wayward leaders are identified and corrected by Paul in 1 Timothy 1-3. Jesus, the faithful Word, could restore these former church pastors, Paul says! But many people are teaching that women should NEVER be pastors. Are they right? No, they have misread the passage! Go deeper? Get a copy of Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2:8-3:16 by Bruce C. E. Fleming. The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?
