Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

💥  Lay hands suddenly on no man:

 

I believe that mean don't be so quick to approve the other person.  Let him first be proven to your church group.

 

💥 Neither be partaker of other men's sins:

 

2 Timothy 3 

 

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

 

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

 

Other people often try to get us to do that which they are doing.  They may not know what they are doing is opposite to that which God wants.  What they are doing may "seem" right to the majority of the people around them.  But it may not be godly.

 

2 Thessalonians 5:21   Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

 

Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 

(I find the answers for me are in the Bible.)

 

💥  Keep thyself pure.

 

When I come in contact with people of this world, often they are friendly and smile and I am quickly taken in, thinking them to be "good guys".

 

God reminds me that Paul told us what people are really like in the end times.

 

💥  2 Timothy 3 

 

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

 

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

 

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

 

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

 

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

 

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

 

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

 

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

 

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

 

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

 

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
