The Book of 1 Timothy

1 Timothy 3:16

'16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.' (KJV)

First Timothy 3:16 is perhaps the greatest verse in the New Testament concerning the deity of Christ. In this verse, who was manifested in the flesh?

1 Timothy 4:3

"3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." (KJV)

Is this referring to the Catholic Church?

1 Timothy 4:4-5

'4For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:' (KJV)

There is a connecting punctuation mark at the end of this verse which means it is connected to the verse after it.

'5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.' (KJV)

Translation Difference

for it is set apart by the Word of Elohim and prayer. c (The ISR Scriptures)

c - Any food eaten has to comply with these two conditions laid down.

'What makes a food "holy" and acceptable to eat? An attitude of thanksgiving, prayer and the word of God. What was the "word of God" for the early Christian church? The only "word of God" at that time was the accepted canon of the Old Testament (i.e. "the Hebrew Bible")! Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 are the portions of "the word of God" which list the meats God approved for human consumption. Rather than permitting the consumption of unclean meats, Paul's instructions to Timothy actually affirmed that food must have prior approval in the word of God (the Old Testament) in order to be eaten. Therefore, in this passage, Paul is actually affirming the applicability of the Old Testament dietary laws.

1 Timothy Chapter 6

This chapter deals with slavery, servitude, and the relative value of wealth.

1 Timothy 6:1-5

1Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. (KJV)

2And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; (KJV)

4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, (KJV)

5Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. (KJV)

I need to find out what YAHUSHUA thought about this subject.

This is a very dangerous chapter as it could be used to justify aberrent behavior.  He tries to validate his own opinion by wrapping it up in the words of YAHUSHUA and the doctrine of YHWH.  This is the same technique being used today by our government.  They wrap themselves up in the flag and accuse you of treason if you oppose them.  This chapter needs to be read in it's entirety and in context as it differentiates between believers and non believers and tells us to withdraw ourselfs from the unrighteous.
