2 Timothy 2:25

(Chinese UV (T))  用溫柔勸戒那抵擋的人；或者神給他們悔改的心，可以明白真道，

(KJV)  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

(ASV)  in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,

2 Timothy 2:25 | In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

T.A. 

We try to instruct others with a kind and humble manner. We should not be harsh and overbearing. We should not be puffed up in our knowledge . Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth(1Corinthians 8:1-3). We should not act like "I am the great teacher and you are the poor ignorant student. If we know the Bible we should humbly try to teach others. Notice how God doesn't upbraid those that ask for wisdom (James 1:5).

我們試圖以善良和謙卑的方式指導他人。 我們不應該苛刻和霸道。 我們不應該誇大我們的知識。 知識是叫人自高自大，惟有愛心能造就人（哥林多前書8:1-3）。 我們不應該表現得像是 “我是偉大的老師，而你是可憐的無知的學生。” 如果我們瞭解聖經，我們應該謙虛地嘗試教導別人。 請注意，神如何不斥責那些尋求智慧的人（雅各書1：5）。

James 1:5

(Chinese UV (T))  你們中間若有缺少智慧的，應當求那厚賜與眾人、也不斥責人的神，主就必賜給他。

(KJV)  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

(ASV)  But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

1 Tim 2:12 Woman's Silence

1 Tim 2:12 ( KJV )  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. T.A.: My wife and some other sisters were having a Bible study in Hualien. A non-Christian man who knew one of the women came in and sat down. My wife stopped teaching and tried to tell him that she could not teach with a man present.  She said it embarrassed the man and he left and never saw him again.  She feels she handled the situation wrongly.  She thinks now that she should have kept teaching and after the class explained what the Bible teaches and encouraged him to attend the men's classes. That  might be the best way to handle that situation. The word "silence " in I Timothy 2:12 follows "teach,  nor to usurp authority over the man "  This describes a situation where a woman robs authority that God has not given her. It seems like it depends on her attitude and the manner in which she speaks. If she is overbearing and a "Miss , I know

RETURN TO THE LORD 歸向神 （Joel 約珥書2:13-14)

  Warren E. Berkley Translation & Edition  翻譯： Joyce Yang Built in to the message of the prophets was the appeal to repent. These men were sent by God to expose sin and urge the guilty to repent. Often the appeal was framed as a challenge to return to the Lord (Isaiah 6:10; Jeremiah 3:1; Malachi 3:7). For instance, Joel’s appeal to Judah was for the people to repent of their sins. “So rend your heart”, and “return to the Lord your God” (Joel 2:13). Through the distribution of His judgments (locusts, drought, desolation), God admonished His people to come out of their sin and back to Him. It was His loving purpose to prompt a change in their direction. The essential definition of repentance has not changed through the dispensations. We can, therefore, use Joel’s statement as the basis for our understanding of returning to the Lord. And this study can find application for those who have been baptized but left their God. 先知的信息中內含著悔改的呼籲。這些人是神派來揭露罪惡、敦促有罪之人悔改的。這種呼籲常常被界定為 “ 歸向神的挑戰 ” （

The Woman that Hath a Familiar Spirit 交鬼的婦人 (1 Sam 28)

From T.A. 翻譯：Joyce My reasoning as to why I don't think there is demon possession today is because humans do not today have the power to cast out demons. With the death of the last Apostle , the ability to transmit miraculous power ceased. To me it would not seem to be a balance of power of demons were allowed to possess humans and God no longer gave His people the power to cast out demons .  我之所以認為今天沒有惡魔附身，是因為人類今天沒有能力驅魔。 隨著最後一個使徒的死亡，傳遞神蹟力量的能力停止了。 在我看來， 若惡魔的力量不允許附身於人類，神也不會再賦予祂的子民驅逐惡魔的力量。 The events of 1st Samuel 28 happened long before the Christian age. From earliest times until the present there have been people who claim to have the powers of the occult. God in His Bible has forbidden His people to have anything to do with sorcery and things pertaining to it(Galatians 5:20,21-witchcraft is sorcery). These things belong to the deception of the devil.   1st Samuel 28的事件發生在基督教時代之前很久。 從最早到現在，一直有人聲稱擁有神秘主義的力量。 神在祂的聖經中禁止祂的子民與邪術和與巫術有關的事物有任何關係（加拉太書5:20,21－邪術就是巫術）。 這些東西屬於魔鬼的欺騙。 I realize
