From Paul to Titus,
"To Titus my true son in our common Faith: Grace and Peace from God and Jesus Christ the Savior."
Titus 1; 10 & 11 and 16,
10)For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others, this is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation.11) They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching, and they do it only for dishonest gain.16) They claim to know God but by their actions deny him. They are detestable, dishonest and unfit for doing any good.
The back story: So I read in the Halley's Bible Handbook, the "rebellious people"
were the church leaders, and the whole families, probably meant whole churches, because at that time as stated by Halley's they met in homes.
My Thoughts on how it applies to today: Evey day, every where we go we are hit, smacked, and bombarded with detestable, and dishonest teachings and people, it is up to us now to weed these out of our lives, to not listen to the false teachings everywhere around us, and to have the Grace to believe that what God has said is true, to have Grace like Jesus had. To never fallow teachings of untruth,I try to always remember, the only Shepard I have is Jesus and I am his sheep, and I strive to live accordingly.
Lets think, how does this apply to us, in 2013? Please comment below your thoughts there is no wrong answer!
