Locating a Theological View on 2 Timothy 2:13

The verse in question is 2 Timothy 2:13:

"If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself."

You are asking specifically where to locate my own treatment of this verse, rather than asking for an exposition of the verse itself. There are several ways to search for and access my comments on particular passages.

Using askthetheologian.com

One resource is the archive of question-and-answer material.

1. Go to textttaskthetheologian.com.
2. Use the search function labeled "Search the answers."
3. Enter the reference, e.g., texttt2 Timothy 2:13.

If the verse has been directly addressed in a past session, the search will return specific Q&A entries. For example, a search on 2 Timothy 2:13 may pull up questions dealing with denying the faith, eternal security, or related issues where that verse is quoted or discussed. Within each result, you can then search in your browser (for instance, using a find function) for "2 Timothy 2:13" or key phrases from the verse to locate the precise discussion.

If a direct verse search gives limited results, you can also search by concept. For example, you might search:

"What happens if I walk away from and reject my Christian faith?"

Questions framed like that often draw in texts such as 2 Timothy 2:13, even if the verse reference was not in the original question title.

Using studyyourbible.org

Another resource is the verse-by-verse teaching archive.

1. Go to textttstudyyourbible.org.
2. Use the search box and enter the reference: texttt2 Timothy 2:13.

The search will list studies that cover that section of Scripture, such as a series through 2 Timothy. You can then open the relevant study (usually provided as a PDF or linked session) and navigate to the section where 2 Timothy 2:13 is treated, reading the context of the notes or transcript around it.

The search engine on that site is improving but not as robust as the Q&A search; therefore, sometimes you must look at a slightly larger passage block (e.g., 2 Timothy 2:8–13) to find the exact verse.

Using Dispensational Publishing’s Library Search

A third avenue is to search my written works and other dispensational authors:

1. Go to textttdispensationalallowbreak publishing.com (or use the internal library search tied to that catalog if provided).
2. Use a theological or verse-based search: for example, texttt2 Timothy 2:13 or a conceptual phrase such as textttdenying the faith.

An internal search system reads a large number of volumes and surfaces where a verse or concept is discussed. For 2 Timothy 2:13, you might find references in:

• Systematic theology works.
• Topical books dealing with assurance, apostasy, or pastoral concerns about denial of the faith.

The system often notes:

"Direct treatment of 2 Timothy 2:13 itself is thin."

In such a case, it may still surface related discussions (e.g., about whether denying the faith proves that a person was never a believer), often referencing my works like What They Believe: The Southern Baptist Convention, where I critique the idea that later failure automatically proves faith was never real.

By searching not only for the verse reference but also for associated ideas (denial, apostasy, faithlessness, eternal security), you can often find my interpretive approach, even when a verse is not treated in isolation.

Directly Asking

Finally, the method you are using now remains available: when a specific verse or question is not easily located in the archives, you can submit a question through the "ask a question" function at textttrandywhiteministries.org and have the verse addressed directly in a Q&A format. That then becomes part of the searchable archive for future reference.

So, to locate my view on 2 Timothy 2:13:

• Start with the Q&A archive at textttaskthetheologian.com using both verse and concept searches.
• Supplement with textttstudyyourallowbreak bible.org for verse-by-verse teaching notes in 2 Timothy.
• Use the Dispensational Publishing search tools for any extended written discussions in books.

These three together give you the best chance of finding where and how I have handled the verse in detail.
