Do you know what the Masters verse of .. "do not cast your pearls before swine" means? If you want some real answer's ask any ex/sinner that IS CONVERTED! (non/ Christian open sinners do not want to be around you anymore than you than you should not want to be around them...their foul mouth & all!)
These in 2 Tim. 3:1-5 are even 'professed' saints! What on earth a real converted saint would want to be associating with OPEN SINNERS for is beyond Timothy's 'inspiration' in verse 5!!
---John
Yes I have known christians, sinners wouldnt want to associate with
I can tell you why on earth I (a real converted saint) would want to associate with OPEN SINNERS...because i`m not just concerned with saving myself...and personally I humbly desire to follow the example set by Jesus Christ, no matter what others do.
In 2Timothy 3:1-5 Paul is giving Timothy a brief discription of how difficult the last days will be...and verse 5 is referring to turning away from those of the faith who are not genuine , not sinners...i fail there to see the 'inspiration' for your message.
May God bless you with His Love, Peace and Truth
