Study to shew thyself approved?

Question

unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

Does it mean it alright to disagree and or discuss the bible?

Answer 1

That verse is in ref, too the Gnostic gospel that came about. He it telling people to be well grounded in the word, and not teach false doctrines.

You are to defend the Truth. Yes.

The Character of a Godly Man:
Psalm 1:1-3 Ref.
Christian men willing to answer the Lord’s call to live godly lives in an unrighteous world. A man with this mindset will understand the importance of:
Ordering his life with Christian counsel. A God-fearing man is not too self-sufficient or proud to ask for help. He seeks biblical counsel regularly so that he can succeed according to God’s principles. He is open to advice based on scriptural truths, whether for his home life, personal finances, or business matters. Many of us, however, are prone to seek opinions from those who appear successful, even if they do not share our faith. How wise can ungodly men be when they have chosen to live without God? How smart are we when we seek their advice?
Limiting his deepest friendships to fellow believers. Only the like-minded — those who love Jesus and desire to follow Him — are suitable to be intimate friends of a believer. Remember, our companions can influence us positively or negatively. Those who reject Jesus will never guide us toward Him. Those who are casual in their faith can influence us away from God’s standards. While the Lord expects us to relate to all sorts of people, it is wise to restrict our “inner circle” to Christ-followers.
Being committed to defending the truth. Concerned with the things of the Lord and His church, a godly man will TAKE A STAND against the profane use of Jesus’ name. Not only will he speak the truth about unrighteous patterns of behavior and their destructiveness; he will also oppose ridicule of the Bible or other Christians. Ref. Psalms 1;3 Jer 17:8 14:1 12: 1-2
Men, the Lord calls you to godliness. What will you say?
.
Standing Firm in Faith
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
God knows that the spiritual battle rages fiercely and that His children are under attack. What does His Word tell us about the Devil’s schemes?
The schemes are well organized. Satan’s plans have one purpose: to oppose the Lord. He attempts this by hindering God’s children and preventing others from joining God’s family. The Greek word for “schemes” is methodea, from which we get our word method. His tactics vary but untruths are a common device because his native language is lying. In fact, Jesus called him the Father of lies (John 8:44).
The attacks are personal. Ephesians 6:12 describes spiritual warfare as wrestling against evil forces, a picture of hand-to-hand combat. That is very personal. Satan tailors strategies to our weaknesses and seeks to discredit God in the eyes of His church and the world.
The plans are backed by powerful forces. We are battling against a large army — rulers, powers, the dark forces of this world, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. (v. 12) Fortunately, “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
What are we to do against such an enemy? Ephesians 6:13 tells us to stand firm. This is not a passive stance but an active one. It requires remaining alert, praying in the Spirit on all occasions, and wholeheartedly giving ourselves to the Lord’s work. (v. 18)
The stronger our faith is, the easier it will be to maintain our position in our spiritual battles. Soldier of God.

Answer 2

Hi!

I think it means that study and know the scriptures and be able to explain them so that you will not be ashamed to answer certain questions that UNBELIEVERS or those who are young in the Lord would ask you.

It is a shame when a Christian is leading people(workman, leader) but does not understand the scriptures.I have seen such in my life. Pastors need to study the Word of God and be able to explain it....

This verse reminds me of this one as well...

1Peter 3:15 "...and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear"

Hope this helps!Hug!

Answer 3

IF THE SUBJECT IS ANGELS IN THE BIBLE: Collect every scripture possible on the subject and put them together to study and compare them until you can sum up your study or make a poem for sake of memory. SAMPLE BELOW:

ANGELS IN THE BIBLE

Rev.5:11; Matt.26:53;Many thousands of angel be,
Job 38:4-7; As earth or world made they did it, see,
John 17:3,5,24;With God before world, is Jesus free,
Of Eden angels shout in joy to see all so perfectly.

They are all called morning stars, Jesus especially,
the bright and morning star Rev.22:16; so Brightly,
Eze.28:13-15; Isa.14:12-14; Job.2:1,2; Heaven to see,
Heavenly are angels but the cherub over Eden lyingly.

Became a Serpent, dragon, Satan or Lucifer, a day star,
And what will God and Jesus do about him so bad by far,
He wanted to be lifted up to rule from where they are,
So Satan is obsessed to make havoc against every star.

2Cor.4:3,4; As God of this world he blinds human minds,
To keep the truth of him hidden, and God's truth blind,
He caused all perfect to be lost, tries to hide behind,
A cloud all doubt could ever be, it is tough to define.

Jesus could have twelve legions of Angels at any time,
Jesus came as mediator, savior, to give all due pride,
He has the right to destroy Satan and death with stride,
To make all new again, and resurrect all dead to alive.

So we can count on Jesus to keep his promise as he died,
Assuring us that there is and we can have eternal life,
Just as Luke 20:34-36; the angels who do not ever die,
Perfection is for all people, heavens, earth and skies.
Heb.2:9,14,16; 9:14,15; 1Cor.15:22-28;51-53; Rev.21:1-5;

Angels did sin, Jude 6; 2Pet.2:4; more than we realize,
1Cor.6:2,3; Angels face a judgement day before all eyes,
Heb.9:27; 2Cor.5:10 Man judged by God's word is how wise,
John 12:47,48;Knowing his word makes all be in Paradise.

Rev.2:7; Luke 23:43; 2Cor.12:4; For man and angel so fine,
Rev.12:6-11,12,14,17; Don't forget about Michael so devine,
Satan is on footstool earth and enemy of Jesus is confined,
Soon Jesus can reign 1000 years taking us to God so kind.
Rev.20:1-6,12,13; 1Cor,2:9; Rev.21:1-5,9,10,21-27; Gal.4:26;
ELECT Mark 13:27; John 6:39,40,44; 1Thes.4:15-17 [ end ];
