Fairy Tale Spotlight: Timothy I [Book Review]

"Timothy I" is the fifty-forth book of the "Holy Bible." It was written by Paul himself, and here we have a unique situation, as to his letters, up to this point. He is not writing this letter to a church or collective of people; he is actually writing this to a single person, Timothy.

Now in the book, Paul refers to Timothy as his son, but it didn't actually sound like Timothy was his actual blood relation. It sounded more like a mentorship situation. That said, I'm actually not sure. I'm just saying how it sounded, as it was written.

Once again, this book goes into a lot of controversial stuff concerning women and the church. I won't go into the details, but if you want to read them, you will find them here. If you want to take the Holy Spirit seriously as part of the Trinity, as a Christian, you have to, at the very least, acknowledge his opinion, as well as the fact that this opinion is endorsed by God the Father. So I'll move on from that.

There were a few moments of interest in this 15 minute book. There was a distinction between serving Christ and serving the laws of man. He out-rightly says that the law was made for sinners. That's true. It really has very little to do with Christ or the idea of heaven. If we didn't have horrible people in the world, we wouldn't even need the law. And most of the time, the law is made to benefit horrible people anyways. Enough said there.

Paul also perfectly says that Jesus is the mediator between God the Father and man. Yep! That's the point. We're pretty much doomed from the start (see the Old Testament.) Through Jesus we actually have a chance.

I don't normally do quotes in these reviews, but I couldn't help myself on this one. Check this out: "God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles [it means 'not Jewish'], believed on in the world, received up into glory." Best line in the whole dang chapter.

On a humorous note, there was a mentioning that we should avoid "old wives' fables." Is this the origin of the whole "old wives' tales" joke? Like whenever someone doesn't want to believe something someone says, they might say, "That's just an old wives' tale!" I've heard that all my life, but I never knew it originated from the Bible. That's funny.

There is more in this book. They packed a lot into such a small book, but I think I got all the good bits. "Timothy I" is really just worth a personal read, if you can spare 15 minutes. You might be surprised or even offended by what you see, but like I said... this is the Holy Spirit doing what he does best, and nobody offends people more than him. Honestly, I think the Father thinks its funny.
