디모데에게 보낸 편지에서, 바울은 교회의 구조와 행동에 관해 명확한 지침을 제시했습니다.. 안으로 1 디모데 5:22, 바울은 디모데에게 아무에게도 갑자기 안수하지 말라고 지시했습니다.. But what did Paul mean by lay hands suddenly on no man? Because Jesus commanded His disciples to lay hands on the sick and they would recover. Does the Bible contradict Itself about the laying on of hands? 아니요, the Bible doesn’t contradict Itself and shall never contradict Itself. 하나님의 말씀은 진리이다. Therefore the Bible is reliable and trustworthy. 그렇지만, you must read the Scriptures in the right context. 지금, let’s have a look at what Paul meant by not lay hands suddenly on no man.
What does lay hands suddenly on no man mean in the Bible?
갑자기 아무에게도 손을 얹지 말라, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure (1 디모데 5:22)
When we read 1 디모데 5:22 in the right context, we can conclude that 1 디모데 5:22 has nothing to do with the laying on of hands on the sick. 이전에 작성된대로, Jesus commanded His followers to lay hands on the sick. Paul walked after the Spirit in obedience to the Word. Paul would never contradict the Word and disobey the Word, but confirm the Word.
In Timothy 5:22 Paul didn’t speak about the sick, but Paul spoke about an elder, who had sinned. This sin was confirmed by two or three witnesses. (또한 읽어보세요: ‘Why did Timothy have to rebuke a sinning elder before all man in the church?')
When Paul instructed Timothy to not lay hands on someone too hasty, Paul meant that Timothy should not be too hasty to:
- Ordain or appoint a believer as an elder in the church (회중)
- Re-ordain or reinstate an elder, who had committed a sin
People are ordained in ministry by the laying on of hands
A person was ordained in ministry and put into position in the church through the custom of laying on of hands. We also read this in the Book of Acts:
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them (행위 6:5-6)
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away (행위 13:2-3)
Timothy could not reinstate a sinning elder too hastily in the church, 안수함으로써.
He had to be sure, that the person was profitable to function as an elder and to be an example and spiritual leader to the believers.
Timothy had to be sure, that a person was godly, full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and walked after the Spirit according to the Word.
An elder had to live a holy life and be an example to the believers. An elder couldn’t walk after the flesh in rebellion against God 죄로.
How can an ambassador of the Kingdom of God walk after the flesh in sin?
How can an ambassador of the Kingdom of God walk at the same time in the kingdom of darkness and represent the darkness by walking after the flesh in sin?
If Timothy would appoint a sinning person as an elder or reinstate a sinning elder, then Timothy would become a partaker of sin.
This spiritual law applied to the church then and this spiritual law still applies to the church today. Sin means rebellion against God and His Word. When you are born again in Christ and become a new creation, you are no longer the old creation, who lives from his fallen state and his sinful rebellious carnal nature. You’re redeemed from your sinful rebellious nature, who always resists and rebels against the words of God. Therefore if you really have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, you won’t rebel anymore.
The new creation loves God above all
다시 태어날 때, you won’t rebel against God and His Word, because of the transformation of your nature. You’ll submit to the Word of God and obey Him. Because you don’t want to do anything that displeases God defile the church, and damage or hurt the Kingdom of God.
All you want to do is to please and exalt God. That’s the desire of the new heart 새로운 창조의, who loves God above all.
지금, if you want to please and exalt Jesus Christ and the Father, you believe and obey the words of Jesus, 그의 계명을 지키십시오, 그리고 그의 의지를 행하십시오
You will do, what He wants you to do and what He has commanded you to do.
Regeneration means a new Father, 새로운 마음, a new nature, a new position, a new life and a new Kingdom.
비록 당신이 이 세상에 살고 있지만, you don’t belong to this world and the generation of fallen man (옛 창조) 더 이상.
당신은 새로운 창조 그리고 하나님 께 속해 있습니다. Therefore you obey God and His Word. You do what He says and not do what the world and the ruler of this world (악마) 말하다. 기억하다, you will obey the person, you believe in and love.
How did Timothy know if someone was living a holy life?
How did Timothy know if someone was living a holy life? There were two ways to judge if someone was living a holy and sanctified life:
- By the discernment of spirits, 성령을 통해
- By looking at the fruit of a person’s life (including family life)
Someone can be very pious and charismatic in his or her appearance and act religiously correct in front of people, but as soon as there are no people around and when no one is looking, the person does things in secret that go against God’s will. The person can live some kind of 숨겨진 double life. 이 경우, only the Holy Spirit can reveal the works and heart of the person. The Holy Spirit tells you, if the person is truly as pious as he presents himself or not.
하나님은 전능하시고 모든 것을 보고 계십니다.
하나님은 전능하시고 모든 것을 보고 계십니다.! Nothing is hidden before God. God reveals every dark hidden place in someone’s life. When people think that God doesn’t see what they are doing, only proves that they don’t know God or the Word; 예수.
The Holy Spirit knows what’s inside a person’s heart. He alone reveals those things, which are hidden from man’s natural eyes. That’s why we need the Holy Spirit in our lives and obey Him. So that we have spiritual eyes and discern the spirits.
Many ministers in the church walk after the flesh
정신 안에서 걸어, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (갈라디아서 5:16 KJV)
When people are ordained in ministry and commit a sin or persevere in sin, it shows that the sinning ministers don’t walk after the Spirit but after the flesh. Because if ministers walk after the Spirit, they shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh and sin.
The flesh with all its lusts and desires has died in Christ and therefore the flesh no longer lives. This means if church ministers do the works of the flesh, it proves that their flesh has not died in Christ but is still alive. (또한 읽어보세요: 교회 지도자들의 죄는 그들에 대해 무엇을 말합니까??).
A sinning minister has an evil heart of unbelief
Besides proving that the minister walks after the flesh, it shows that there is evil in the heart of the person.
내부로부터, 남자의 마음에서, 악한 생각을 계속하다, 간음, 음행, 살인, 도난, 탐욕, 사악, 책략, 사음, 사악한 눈, 신성 모독, 자부심, 어리석음: 이 모든 악한 것들은 다 속에서 나오느니라, 그리고 그 사람을 더럽히다 (표시 7:21-23)
주의하십시오, 형제, 너희 중에 누구든지 믿지 아니하는 악한 마음이 있지 않게 하라, 살아계신 하나님을 떠나서. 그러나 매일 서로 권면하십시오, 오늘이라고 불리는 동안; 너희 중에 누구든지 죄의 유혹으로 완고하게 되지 않도록 하라 (히브리서 3:12-14)
A church minister has responsibilities towards God, 예수, 성령, 그리고 기독교인.
그러므로, a minister should live a holy life devoted to God.
If a minister doesn’t live a holy life, but secretly commits sin, then the whole church (회중) becomes a partaker of his/her sin.
게다가, if a minister habitually lives in sin, it proves that the devil still has authority over his/her life. The minister is a slave of the devil and of sin, instead of a slave of Christ and of righteousness.
Ministers should keep the church; the body of Jesus Christ clean
Timothy was a gatekeeper of the church; 그리스도의 몸. His task was to keep the body of Christ clean and holy and prevent the body from any defilement. That’s why Paul instructed Timothy to lay hands suddenly on no man. This means to not (답장)ordain or reinstate someone too quickly in ministry.
폴은 알고 있었어, that there would be a considerable chance, that after a while, the person would do it again and fall back into the same sin and/or commit another sin.
The cross means saying farewell to the flesh; the sinful rebellious nature, that won’t submit to the will of God.
What does lay hands suddenly mean for the Church Today?
Paul commanded Timothy to lay hands on no man suddenly. What Paul commanded Timothy to do, still applies to the church today. In Today’s ministry, leaders should not be too hasty to lay hands and re-ordain or reinstate someone, who committed sin or still walks in sin. Nor should leaders be too hasty to ordain someone in ministry, who is a new convert. Let the new convert, 가장 먼저, be disciplined and spiritually mature. Let the new convert do the things that Jesus has commanded every believer to do, which is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ; 말씀, lay hands on the sick, 악마를 쫓아냅니다, 등.
요즘에는, there are many ministers, who fall into sin. In some cases, the person will be dismissed and removed from ministry for a short period. The sinning leader confesses his or her sins, repents or blames someone else, and in no time, the leader will be reinstated.
Especially when the person is an family member or friend of the pastor, 연상, leaders of the church, church board, 등.
But this is not the way the Bible commands us to deal with a sinning elder or other church leaders.
이 시대에, people deal so easily with sin. They condone sin and consider it normal. 왜? Many Christians are carnal and believe the lies of the devil and use many excuses to approve of sin. 그들은 말한다, We all sin, 우리는 all sinners, Times have changed, we live in a different time now, We must love and not condemn, Jesus told us not to judge, 등.
But these are all lies from the devil! 이런 거짓말 때문에, there are only a handful of Christians, who long for a sanctified and holy life in Jesus Christ and a holy body.
Why do many Christians fall back into the same sin?
Many Christians sin, 회개하다, and continue with their lives. And in no time they fall back into the same old sin. 더 이상 진정한 후회가 없으므로 진정한 회개는 없습니다.. 진정한 후회와 회개가 있었다면, 그리스도인들은 다시 같은 죄로 돌아 가지 않을 것입니다.
그들은 육신이며 무엇보다도 주님을 사랑하고 두려워하지 않습니다.. 대신에, 그들은 스스로를 사랑합니다 (의 사물과 즐거움) 세상. 그들은 육신의 뜻을하고 정욕을 성취하고 싶어합니다, 육체의 욕망. 성령에 의해 통제되고 의로를 걷고 죄를 미워하는 대신, 그들은이 세상의 영에 의해 통제되고 죄를 용서하고 죄와 죄악을 걷습니다. .
그들은 죄를 악마와 악마와 죽음에 대한 속박으로 간주하지 않습니다.. 그들은 인정하지 않습니다, 죄의 영적 원인을 인식하십시오. 죄의 뿌리는 영적이고 육신이 아니기 때문에. That’s why people fall back into the same old sin over and over again and allow unclean spirits to control their lives.
If there is sin present in the leadership of the church, how much more will sin be present in the lives of Christians?
What is sin according to the Bible?
What is sin according to the Bible? 이전에 작성된대로, sin is rebellion against God and His Word. It means that you won’t believe, receive, and follow up His words and do His words in your life. 대신에, you adjust and change His words so that they will fit into your life and you can live your own life, fulfilling your carnal will, 정욕, 그리고 욕망. And that’s what’s happening in many churches. They change and adjust the Word of God to the will, 정욕, and desires of the people.
이것을 알고 있습니다, you can conclude that many church leaders and church visitors walk in sin. They walk in rebellion against God and His Word. Living according to their own will and opinions, instead of the will of God, and setting their own rules instead of keeping God’s commandments.
그들은 자신들이 하나님을 기쁘시게 한다고 생각합니다. 그러나 실제로, they please and serve the devil, by denying the Word of God and by adjusting and changing the Word to the knowledge of this world and to the carnal will, 욕구, and lusts of man.
Many churches are not founded on the Word. But they are founded upon the knowledge of this world and upon their own philosophies, 의견, 결과, 그리고 경험. But worldly knowledge and man’s opinions, 결과, and experiences don’t make the truth and don’t lead people to eternal life. Only the Word of God is and will always remain the Truth and leads to eternal life.
