The inadequacy of translating didaskalia as teaching/doctrine is evidenced in Titus 2:1-10 by the theme of spiritual character development. Can’t find any Christian articles but here is a secular discussion.

Why are 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus called pastoral epistles when the word “pastor” (or shepherd for that matter) does not appear in them at all?

Can you imagine Rahab’s perspective after her new allegiance because of her faith? As the Israelites are marching against Jericho, she thinks, “My people are coming for me.” A new inheritance coming soon. Faith and hope.

@PlumblineFaith Ideas in the Greek: Acts 14:23 ~ Vote, appoint; Commend, set before, present. 1 Timothy 3:10 of deacons ~ tested, approved. Titus 1:5 ~ set in order further; Set in order, appoint, sometimes translated as “put in charge”. Where are recognize, acknowledge, and emerge?

[The Orange Mailman @OrangeMailman]

@PlumblineFaith I understand your point. My point is that if we are going to insist on biblical truth of elder/overseer versus senior pastor, we should also insist on biblical truth concerning appoint/ordain versus emerge/recognize, which I’m not finding those terms.

The first mention of Messiah-King is by Hannah. 2 Samuel 2:1-10 is foundational for Messianic prophecy. Messiah, the nature of His kingdom (exalting the humble and abasing the proud), the resurrection, the judgment. Psalm 113 uses the same language.

@dailyspurgeon Let your gentleness be known to all men, Philippians 4:5. Your gentleness has made me great, Psalm 18:35.

Always be kind because the person you are talking to may be someone that God loves and for whom Christ died.

1 Corinthians 2:10 - The Holy Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

@mattdabbs For all have sinned and “fall short” of the glory of God. I see your point but there are instances of explaining sin in different ways.

@dailyspurgeon Ouch

Philippians 2:1-2 tells us to REJOICE and BEWARE side by side.

With your arms open wide

You bled and died

My heart was reborn

When the veil was torn

The conclusion of Numbers 20:1-13: “and His Holiness was maintained among them.” - NET

I feel as if I could meditate on this for hours.

@dailyspurgeon But God has revealed them unto us by His Spirit, because the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God, I Corinthians 2:10.

When you are convicted of sin, repent and rejoice because the Holy Spirit is at work in you.
