2 Lesson # 1 2 nd Thessalonians Author: Paul, as in 1 Thessalonians, identified himself twice as the author of this letter (1:1; 3:17). Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy, Paul s co-laborers in founding the church, were present with him when he wrote.

3 Lesson # 1 2 nd Thessalonians Themes: Eschatology study of end times dominates the theological issues. One of the clearest statements on personal eschatology for unbelievers is found in 1:9-10. Church discipline is the major focus of 3:6 15, Which needs to be considered along with Matt. 18:15 20; 1 Cor. 5:1 13; Gal. 6:1 5, and 1 Tim. 5:19,20 for understanding the complete Biblical teaching on this theme. 12/21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 3

18 Is this CHURCH DISCIPLINE? The phrase church or congregational discipline is not found in the Bible. - But, what about the principle? Discipline includes training of the mental, moral, and physical powers - Surely all the passages we have read involve discipline - This Includes a type of punishment - see II Cor. 2:6 - Must be willing to teach, train, and seek to restore. - A family-type relationship offers potential for effective discipline when a persons association is withheld. 12/21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 18

19 Is this CHURCH DISCIPLINE? The relationship among Christians has particular significance in the local church. Some cases specifically mention the local churches responsibilities (not the decisions of higher organization) - Matthew 18:15-17 tell it to the church - I Corinthians 5:4 - when gathered together (the local congregation is) verses 2, 13 put away from among you. - II Corinthians 2:6 by the majority (Individual responsibility is not diminished by instructions for the local church ) 12/21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 19

20 Some objections to such discipline Jesus said, Don t judge - Mt. 7:1f - Jesus spoke against hypocritical judging - Mt. 7 - Jesus encouraged righteous judging - John 7:24 - We are taught to judge those within (the church) - 1Cor. 5: /21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 20

21 Some objections to such discipline Relative to judging some are unwilling to withstand erroneous doctrine. This may be especially true among those who consider that doctrine doesn t matter. Can we truly preach the gospel of Christ and leave others alone? - II Timothy 4: /21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 21

22 Some objections to such discipline It s just between the individual and the Lord (or the Lord and me if the offender is speaking) - Not to be busybodies (I Peter 4:15) - However, God made the well-being of other saints the business of their brothers and sisters. (All the scriptures in this study.) - Many have fallen away from God who have never been bothered by others. 12/21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 22

23 Some objections to such discipline IT IS UNKIND - As one woman said upon hearing of a church withdrawing from someone, That s the meanest thing I ve ever heard. - The primary objective of discipline is: The Salvation of the soul of the sinner I Cor. 5:4-5 - Compare II Cor. 2:5-11 and - Compare James 5: /21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 23

24 Some objections to such discipline If we practice church discipline we will lose members. - Is it more important to keep our numbers up or to seek the salvation of souls? - Is it more important to build a bigger church or to obey God? - God s word teaches the necessity of purging out the old leaven - (I Cor. 5:6-8) 12/21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 24

25 Some objections to such discipline It makes me uncomfortable to reprove or withstand others. - It is not fun but it is necessary. - Love of God and love of others demands it! 12/21/2016 NT SURVEY PART FOUR (2THESSALONIANS - REVELATION) Slide 25
