II Thessalonians 3
II Thessalonians 3:2-3:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil |
If someone suggests that all men have faith...I guess this implies they are wrong.
I see it as kind of a comparison of the evil faithless man who is both unreasonable and wicked. However, God is faithful and will strengthen and protect. It could very well be that the "strengthening" part could be an aspect of the protection in that he would aid us in being both reasonable and righteous....which will be beneficial in standing against the evil one. I, personally, believe faith to quite reasonable...and a well reasoned faith would help fortify the righteousness which part of the armor of God; the breastplate of righteousness. |
II Thessalonians 3:3:
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil |

==ii thessalonians 3:5:
May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.

![]() Western Christianity is not in ICU because we’re too injured or weary from persecutions and afflictions for the sake of Christ. Western Christianity is in ICU because too many of us have become Christian picnickers rather than Christian soldiers; sitting comfortably on the sidelines, always seeking to enjoy something from the Lord, while striving to avoid the afflictions of the Lord. So choose this day whom you will love and honor above all else: Christ or self. So choose this day whom you will love and honor above all else: Christ or self. Remember, it’s never too late to do the right thing—unless you’re dead. Now, may the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ, so that you may not be ashamed at His appearing. (2 Thess 3:5, 1 Jn 2:28) --Sunny Shell; Western Christianity Is In ICU 7/2924
