Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things" 2Ti 2:7.

Ever learning

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

Many are stuck in a deep rut because they are fed with a constant diet of pious platitudes and shibboleths and jargon... perhaps many love to have it so. They don't examine what is fed to them... they react defensively when their beliefs are examined.

2Timothy 3:
1 ¶ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be... 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2Timothy 4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Who is Apostle Paul describing?

Who is ever learning the truth BUT never able to come to the knowledge of the truth?
