Lay hands suddenly on no man has a different meaning than most Christians think. Тимотод бичсэн захидалд, Паул сүмийн бүтэц, зан үйлийн талаар тодорхой заавар өгсөн. -Аар / -оор 1 Тимоти 5:22, Paul instructed Timothy to lay hands suddenly on no man. Гэнэт хэн ч дээр гараа тавих гэж Паул юу гэсэн үг вэ?, because Jesus commanded believers to lay hands on the sick and they would recover? Does the Bible contradict Itself concerning the laying on of hands? -Гүй / -битгий, the Bible doesn’t contradict Itself and shall never contradict Itself. Бурханы үг бол үнэн юм; тийм учраас, the Bible is reliable and trustworthy. Гэсэн хэдий ч, you must read the Scriptures in the right context. Одоо, let’s have a look at what Paul meant by not to lay hands suddenly on no man.
What does lay hands suddenly on no man mean in the Bible?
When we read 1 Тимоти 5:22 Зөв нөхцөлд, we can conclude that 1 Тимоти 5:22 has nothing to do with the laying on of hands on the sick. Өмнө нь бичсэн шиг, Jesus commanded believers 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 that had sinned. This sin was confirmed by two or three witnesses. (Мөн уншина уу: Why did Timothy have to rebuke a sinning elder before all man in the church?)
Гэнэт гараа гэнэт хүн болохгүй, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure (1 Тимоти 5:22)
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 (цүглаан)
- Re-ordain or reinstate an elder, who had committed a sin
People are ordained in ministry through the laying on of hands
A person was ordained as servant 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 (Лэг үйллал 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 (Лэг үйллал 13:2-3)
Timothy could not reinstate a sinning elder too hastily in the church through the laying on of hands.
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 certain 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 walk righteously and live a holy life and be an example to the believers. An elder couldn’t walk after the flesh in Бурханы эсрэг бослого нүгэл.
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 disobedience to 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 that always resists God and rebels against the words of God.
Тиймээс, if you really have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, you won’t rebel anymore.
The new creation loves God above all
Та дахин төрөх үед, 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 шинэ бүтээлүүд, who loves God above all.
Одоо, if you want to please and exalt Jesus Christ and the Father, you believe and obey the words of Jesus, түүний зарлигуудыг хадгал, түүний хүслийг хийх.
You will do what He wants you to do and what He commanded you to do.
Regeneration means a new Father, шинэ зүрх, шинэ шинж чанар, a new position, a new life, and a new Kingdom.
Хэдийгээр та энэ ертөнцөд амьдардаг, you don’t belong to this world and the generation of fallen man (Хуучин бүтээл) дахиж.
Та бол а шинэ бүтээл мөн Бурханд хамаарна. Тиймээс, you obey God and His Word.
You do what He says and not do what the world and the ruler of this world (чөтгөр) хэлэх. Санах, you will obey the person you believe in and love.
How did Timothy know if someone was living a holy life?
There were two ways to judge whether someone was living a holy and sanctified life:
- By the discernment of spirits, Ариун Сүнсээр дамжуулан
- 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 ofдалд double life. Энэ тохиолдолд, 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.
Бурхан бүхнийг чадагч бөгөөд бүхнийг хардаг
Бурхан бүхнийг чадагч бөгөөд бүхнийг хардаг! Nothing is hidden from God. God reveals every dark, hidden place in someone’s life. When people think that God doesn’t see what they are doing, it only proves that they don’t know God or the Word; Есүс.
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
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 (Галатчууд 5:16).
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. (Мөн уншина уу: Сүмийн удирдагчид тэдний тухай юу гэж хэлдэг вэ??).
Сүнсээр алхах, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh
Галатчууд 5:16
A sinning minister has an evil heart of unbelief
Besides proving that the minister walks after the flesh, it shows that the person doesn’t fear the Lord but is prideful and that there is evil in the heart of the person.
Дотор нь, Эрчүүдийн зүрх сэтгэлээс гарсан, Муу бодлуудыг үргэлжлүүлээрэй, домогт хүрээлэн, садарлал, зөөгч, хулгай, шунах, золгүй, залө мэх, хуурмаг байдал, муу нүд, хараах, бахархал, тэнэглэл: Эдгээр бүх муу зүйл нь дотроос ирдэг, мөн хүнийг хуурах (Марк 7:21-23)
Авч явгаа уу, ах нар аа, та нарын хэн нэгэн нь үл итгэх сэтгэлийг үл тоомсорлодог, Амьд бурханаас явахдаа. Гэхдээ өдөр бүр нэг удаа, Үүнийг өдөр гэж дууддаг; Нүглийг хууран мэхлэх замаар та нарын хэн нь ч хатахгүй байх (Еврейчүүд 3:12-14)
A church minister has responsibilities towards God, Есүс, Ариун Сүнс, болон Христэд итгэгчид.
Тиймээс, 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 (цүглаан) becomes a partaker of the minister’s sin.
Түүнээс гадна, if a minister habitually lives in sin, it proves that the devil still has authority over his/her life. The minister is a чөтгөрийн боол 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; Христийн бие. 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 (ухах)ordain or reinstate someone too quickly in ministry.
Paul knew 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.
Paul commanded Timothy to lay hands on no man suddenly. What Paul commanded Timothy to do still applies to the church today.
What does lay hands suddenly mean for the Church Today?
Өнөөдрийн сүмд, leaders should not be too hasty to lay hands and appoint or re-ordain or reinstate someone that committed sin or still walks in sin. Nor should church leaders be too hasty to ordain someone in ministry that is a new convert.
Let the new convert, юуны өмнө, 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; үг, lay hands on the sick, Чөтгөрийг хая, гэх мэт.
Одооadays, there are many ministers that 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 a family member or friend of the pastor, гарах нь, leaders of the church, church board, гэх мэт.
But this is not the way the Bible commands us to deal with a sinning elder or other church leaders.
Энэ насонд, people deal so easily with sin. They condone sin and consider it normal. Яагаад? Many Christians are carnal and believe the lies of the devil and use many excuses to approve of sin. Тэд хэлэхдээ, “We all sin, бид байна all sinners, Times have changed, we live in a different time now, We must love and not condemn, Jesus told us not to judge”, гэх мэт.
But these are all lies from the devil! Эдгээр худлаа тул, there are only a handful of Christians that 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, харамсах, and continue with their lives. And in no time, they fall back into the same old sin. There is no true remorse anymore, Тиймээс, no true repentance. Because if there were true remorse and repentance, Christians would not fall back into the same sin again and again.
They are carnal and don’t love and fear the Lord above all. Оронд нь, they love themselves and (the things and pleasures of) дэлхий. They want to do the will of the flesh and fulfill the lusts and desires of the flesh. Instead of being controlled by the Holy Spirit and walking in righteousness and hating sin, they are controlled by the spirits of this world and condone sin and walk in sin and iniquity.
They don’t consider sin as evil and bondage to the devil and death. They don’t acknowledge and recognize the spiritual cause of sin. Учир нь гэм нүглийн үндэс нь бие махбодынх биш сүнслэг байдаг. Тийм ч учраас хүмүүс хуучин гэм нүгэлдээ дахин дахин орж, бузар сүнснүүдэд амьдралаа захирахыг зөвшөөрдөг.
Хэрэв сүмийн удирдлагад нүгэл байгаа бол, Христэд итгэгчдийн амьдралд нүгэл хэр их байх болно?
Библийн дагуу нүгэл гэж юу вэ?
Өмнө нь бичсэн шиг, sin is rebellion against God and disobedience to His Word. Энэ нь та итгэхгүй гэсэн үг юм, хүлээн авах, мөн Түүний үгийг дагаж, Түүний үгийг амьдралдаа хэрэгжүүл. Оронд нь, Та Түүний үгсийг таны амьдралд нийцүүлэн, өөрийнхөөрөө амьдрахын тулд тохируулж, өөрчил, таны биеийн хүслийг биелүүлэх, хүсэл тачаал, хүсдэг. Энэ нь олон сүмд тохиолддог зүйл юм. Тэд Бурханы үгийг хүслийн дагуу өөрчилж, тохируулдаг, хүсэл тачаал, мөн хүмүүсийн хүсэл.
Үүнийг мэдэх, Та олон сүмийн удирдагчид болон сүмд зочлогчид нүгэл үйлддэг гэж дүгнэж болно. Тэд Бурханыг болон Түүний Үгийг эсэргүүцэн алхдаг. Өөрийн хүсэл, үзэл бодлоор амьдрах, Бурханы хүслийн оронд, мөн Бурханы зарлигуудыг дагахын оронд өөрсдийн дүрэм журмыг тогтоох.
Тэд Бурханд таалагддаг гэж боддог. Гэхдээ бодит байдалд, тэд чөтгөрт таалагдаж, үйлчилдэг, Бурханы үгийг үгүйсгэж, Үгийг энэ ертөнцийн мэдлэг болон махан биеийн хүсэлд тохируулан өөрчилснөөр, хүсэл, мөн хүний хүсэл тачаал.
Many churches are not founded upon the Word, but upon the knowledge of this world and their own philosophies, санал бодол, олдворууд, туршлага. Харин ертөнцийн мэдлэг, хүний үзэл бодол, олдворууд, мөн туршлага нь үнэнийг гаргаж, хүмүүсийг мөнх амьдрал руу хөтөлдөггүй.
Зөвхөн Бурханы Үг л үргэлж Үнэн бөгөөд мөнх амьдрал руу хөтөлдөг.
