leads to a healthy environment with the local body of believers. False teachers use the Bible ashttp://fgfg1.onsugar.com/   justification for their extreme harshness, judgmental attitudes, and they kill and divide the local church. Paul is calling Timothy on the carpet because he did not have the courage, it seems, to kill the disease.It would seem that whatever this "sound" or "healthy" teaching is it is not primarily church order nor creedal orthodoxy. If we let Paul define the meaning of the terms he uses we have a hard time agreeing with the notion that phrase "sound doctrine" as used by Paul refers to an itemized list in the fashion of Why I'm a Member of the Church of Christ!It is here that Paul explicitly defines "sound doctrine" in terms of ethics  Paul adopts this language to describe the troublers of peace in the Ephesian church (I believehttp://wushuai88.blog.com/ a strong case can be made they were some of the "elders" in the congregation) and those who hold fast to healthy apostolic tradition. In using this language Paul does not so much describe the content of the unhealthy teaching rather the cause of such teaching and the deadly results of it.   ... what we have is the authority of the individual! This phrase does not refer to propositional creedal statements but to teaching that results in a healthy (loving!) Spirit filled community - the beachhead of the New Creation. Francis Young writes of Paul's usage "the predominant concern is about correct relationships, duties and obligations in a community which regards itself as a teaching environment with a pattern of virtuous behavior" Paul also draws on the terminology of these street philosophers to talk about those who are the opposite of the unhealthy, unsound, ignorant, and arrogant dogmatists. http://nono.blogbaker.com/
