Why Do Many Christian Ministers Today Ignore The Book of Timothy?

In regards to the way the church is run today (i.e. Accumulating large amounts of wealth, women pastors, etc) ? Is the book of Timothy not viewed as inerrant? Why is it not adhered to?Why Do Many Christian Ministers Today Ignore The Book of Timothy?
What those ministers do is unbiblical and they are being snared by Satan himself.



Near the end of the letter (1 Timothy 6:2-10), Paul is exhorting Timothy regarding the need to “teach and urge these things” to his congregation, “these things” referring back to earlier material in the epistle. Paul then warns Timothy about false teachers who will seek to warp and pervert the content of sound doctrine for their own greedy gain (vv. 3-5). Now notice what the Apostle says at the end of v. 5: “Imagining that godliness is a means of gain.” These false teachers do what they do for the fame and notoriety they achieve, along with the financial rewards it brings.



Paul wants to steer Timothy away from that trap. In doing so, he tells him the real source of “great gain;” namely, godliness with true contentment (v. 6). Contentment, in a biblical sense, is the recognition that we come into the world with nothing and that everything we have is a gift from God’s hands (vv. 7-8). Yet those who desire to be rich (i.e., those who have the “love of money”) are the ones who are led into temptation and fall into a snare (v. 9). Paul concludes the passage by telling Timothy that the love of money leads to all sorts of sin and evil.



Simple reflection on this principle will confirm that it is true. Greed causes people to do all sorts of things they wouldn’t normally do. Watch any number of TV courtroom dramas, and the crime under consideration is usually motivated by jealousy or greed, or both. The love of money is what motivates people to lie, steal, cheat, gamble, embezzle, and even murder. People who have a love for money lack the godliness and contentment that is true gain in God’s eyes.



But the Bible makes an even stronger statement about the love of money. What we have discussed thus far simply describes the horizontal level of the love of money. In other words, we have only mentioned how the love of money can lead one to commit greater sins against his fellow man. But the Bible makes quite clear that all sin is ultimately sin against God’s holy character (Psalm 51:5). We need to consider the vertical dimension to the love of money.



In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money” (Matthew 6:24). This verse comes at the end of a passage in which Jesus tells us to “lay up treasures in heaven” (v. 19). Here, Jesus likens a “love of money” to idolatry. He refers to money as a “master” we serve at the expense of serving God. We are commanded by God to have “no other gods” before the only true and living God (Exodus 20:3; the first commandment). Anything that takes first place in our lives other than our Creator God is an idol and makes us guilty of breaking the first commandment.



Jesus had much to say about wealth. His most memorable conversation about money is his encounter with the rich young ruler (Matthew 19:16-30). The young man asks Jesus what he must do to obtain eternal life, and Jesus tells him to follow the commandments. When the man tells Jesus that he has done all that, Jesus tests his ability to obey the first commandment and tells him to sell all his possessions and give it to the poor and to follow him. The young man couldn’t do this; his wealth had become an idol—it was his master!



After this encounter, Jesus turns to his disciples and says, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:23-24). This is a hard saying, especially for 21st century people living in North America. Jesus is saying that wealth is one if the biggest obstacles to coming to faith in Christ. The reason is obvious: Wealth becomes a slave master in our lives and drives us to do all sorts of things that drive us farther and farther away from God. The good news is that what is impossible for man, entering into the Kingdom of God, is possible for God (Matthew 19:26).Why Do Many Christian Ministers Today Ignore The Book of Timothy?

2 Timothy 4:3-5 (New King James Version)

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.Why Do Many Christian Ministers Today Ignore The Book of Timothy?
