Guard the Entrusted Word


1 Timothy 6:20-21  
O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge — by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.  Grace be with you. Amen.

Empty discussions and fruitless theories that attempt to reveal new lost gospels and ideas are only gnostic attempts to display man's pride of self-knowledge.  It is the same lie that brought sin to all men in Eden when our original parents were commanded to not eat of this fruit of self-knowing pride, to desire to know more than God already told us.  Why would we even try to know in our own ability that is infinitely less than our Maker's?  "Has God really said..." echoes down the corridors of time ever since, and only Jesus the Word made man can remake us.  But we still must listen and learn from HIS knowledge found in the Bible, testing all else to ensure it IS what God said as Acts 17:11 shows.
