How can he study and teach the Bible clearly without knowing about something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to comprehend these things and be in a position to interpret their Bible effectively, if they're not informed? Let me ask, how can a 40 year preacher & worker in the Gospel, not understand and know about something that probably 1/2 the books of the New Testament refer to? I continued on to explain that in the case of that particular Scripture, it was not speaking to exploring Scripture but to the false teaching and school of thought of Gnosticism, but he wouldn't have it. Some time ago, I was speaking on the resurrection, life, burial and death of Jesus Christ, and a retired minister and strong preacher of Scripture, who had been a minister for 40 years, marched up and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he noted 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I humbly asked him if I was teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he replied"No". In reality, the more like the world, the less relevant we're to the world. Regrettable it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for an absence of knowledge' as long as we're nice and loving to all. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we love our people this is what we'll do. Unfortunately, a large number of Pastors and teachers in our churches continue to preach light weight, flimsy, superficial, shallow messages and their members hardly grow in biblical knowledge and understanding.
