O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

1. Committed - What does it mean to be committed? Does the Bible require total commitment? What was wrong with the "Crossroads" teachings and demands for total commitment?

2. Profane - Is it possible to "profane" things, people? How does one profane spiritual truths?

3. Babblings - Describe a babbler. Is this a problem in the church today?

4. Science - What is "science" as it is used here? Does this verse refer to the theory of evolution? List some ways that false knowledge can lead people away from God.
