 Does 1 Timothy 119 teach that you can lose your salvation because it states about a person's faith seemingly their faith being shipwrecked? So let's go to it. 1 Timothy 119. Matter of fact, let's go up a little bit further. Let's start in verse 18. This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you that you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Now this would seem to indicate that a person could shipwreck their faith. And what does that mean to shipwreck their faith and what is meant by their faith? Well, a couple of things that we need to understand. One, let's go to the passage and what I want to do is I want to compare a couple of things. Notice who he brings up. He says keeping the faith and a good conscience which some have rejected. Notice what he's talking about. Rejected what? Rejected what? That's the key. I think that everyone needs to understand that when the Bible talks about someone departing or rejecting or falling away, it's always talking about the noun, the faith, the tenets of the faith, the teachings of the faith. Not exactly having faith believing, not the verb, but the faith. And we know that's what he's talking about here because go back to it. He says keeping the faith, having rejected. Rejected what? Notice what's not being spoken of. It's not being spoken of that these people here are sinning. They have not shipwrecked themselves because of sin. They've shipwrecked themselves because of they have, because they have rejected the teachings. And notice the names that are brought up. Verse 20, among these are Himinnaeus and Alexander whom I have handed over to Satan so that they will be taught not to blaspheme. Again, they are blaspheme going against a teaching. And what I want to do is I want to kind of compare. I want to bring in a couple passages, so he brings a couple names. He brings up Himinnaeus and he brings up Alexander. So let's type in over here. Let's go to 2 Timothy and I want you to notice what he's speaking of. Notice here, he says, but avoid worldly and empty chatter for it will lead to further ungodliness and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Himinnaeus and Philitus, men who have gone astray from the truth. So we see that these people, they're not, their faith isn't shipwrecked because of sin. Their faith is shipwrecked because they rejected the tenets of the faith. The other person that he brought up was Alexander. In 1st and 2nd Timothy also, chapter 4, we see what Alexander has done. Paul says in verse, let's start in verse 14, he says, Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds. Be on guard against him yourself for he what? He vigorously opposed our teaching. So 1st Timothy 119, it's not them walking away from having faith because again, the Bible knows of no person. There's no example of someone who is believing and the Bible describes Christians as someone who is believing. The Bible knows of no one who has done that, but the Bible could speak of someone who will walk away from the core tenets, the core teachings of the faith, the faith, the noun. And that's just what happened with Alexander and Himinnaeus. Amen.
