Are you surprised at the number of preachers and teachers of God's Word who apparently find it so easy to manipulate the Word just a bit in order to teach their belief instead of the Word of God?
This study seeks to demonstrate this tendency via the study of two passages of Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-7 and Galatians 2:21.
Reading the Word of God presents us with what seems to be just the opposite of what some Bible teachers are teaching.
For whom did Jesus Christ give himself as a ransom? A second question could be, what would make the death of Christ in vain? The Word of God does give answers to these two questions.
Consider this statement: The effectiveness of Christ's work as mediator and ransom payer is never dependent upon the response of any human to that work.
Does that sound accurate and biblical?
So, listen to the preacher and then test the teaching with the Word of God. Reject the non-biblical teaching and stand upon the statements of the Scriptures.
Go ahead! Accept the challenge! What does the Word say?
