I'm challenged to do the same!<br /><br />Can I ask, are you currently finishing your MA-NT or Th.M?<br /><br />take care!Mike S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07140338309203734699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-764583006966421052009-04-27T09:19:00.000-04:002009-04-27T09:19:00.000-04:00Matt,

This, I believe, is because Paul goes on to talk about Timothy enslaving himself for the sake of the gosepl in 2:22. <br /><br />JohnByronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853335292109719929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-42575443351308440832009-04-25T23:11:00.000-04:002009-04-25T23:11:00.000-04:00Sean,

I decided to do more reading on this and possibly revise my thinking on this particular issue.<br /><br />Intially, I was thinking more along the lines of "developed positions" which seem to be the case later on in the Pastorals and even more so in the Apostolic Fathers (e.g. 1 Cl. 42:4f; I. Ep. 3:2; I.Ph.l. 10:2; I.Ph. 10:2; Herm. Vis. 3 5:1; Herm. Sim. 9 27:2; Did. 15:1).<br /><br />I will do some more reading on this in the next few days and get back to you.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br /><br />MatthewMatthew D.
