DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

This is a study guide commentary, which means that you are responsible for your own interpretation of the Bible. Each of us must walk in the light we have. You, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit are priority in interpretation. You must not relinquish this to a commentator.

These discussion questions are provided to help you think through the major issues of this section of the book. They are meant to be thought provoking, not definitive.

1. Did Paul see Christianity as separate from OT faith or an extension of it?

2. What is the purpose of laying on of hands?

3. List the theologically significant items in 2Ti_1:9.

4. How has Jesus put an end to death?

5. How is the word "guard" used differently in 2Ti_1:12 and 2Ti_1:14?

6. Why did Paul's co-workers desert him? Does this imply that they were no longer believers?
