Sacred Sunday~ Ist Timothy, Chapter 4/Haters Gonna Hate

Haters Gonna Hate

• Paul explains that it's totally normal for opposition to start bubbling over when the world is about the end. The last days will make people a little antsy.
• There are people out there right now who are basically following demons and are hypocrites and liars. (Spoiler alert: these are Paul's opponents.)
• They tell people not to get married and not to eat certain foods (hello, bacon!).
• Paul believes that everything God created is good. That means marriage and any kind of food.
• Paul reminds Timothy to pass all his teachings along to keep the people on the righteous path to Heaventown.
• They should stay away from a faith that's based on urban legends and old wives' tales.
• Be Godly and fight the good fight because that's what God wants, says Paul.
• Oh, and Timothy shouldn't let anyone brush him aside just because he's young. As long as he's acting like a stand-up guy, he'll command their respect.
• When Paul gets into town, he'll help, but until then, it's all up to Timothy to hold down the fort. Good luck, dude.
