Please excuse me for leaving you hanging w/o a response.

I'm going back to posting articles and discussing with theists only because my beliefs don't demand that I engage mockers and a high % of atheists engage in mockery on here.

I think the atheists try to force confrontations with theists.

That's why they kept going into the Biblical Archaeology, Pray-ers and the Faith in Action threads. They don't seem to be able to tolerate presentation of evidence threads very well either though they keep saying they want it (I think that's self-contradictory too, to object to evidence before taking a long enough time to examine and consider it).

They want to argue and be entertained. They don't really want evidence or to understand anything. If they did they'd all be out searching for it more frequently and talking less.

Talk is cheap.

But how much did you lose?

Saint Timothy had such an excellent character that Paul thought of him like a son but did Paul teach everything to Timothy?

No, Timothy had good believing parentage. Paul says in 2 Timothy 1:

Thanksgiving

3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
