These Bible Presbyterian leaders are disqualified

The leaders in Far Eastern Bible College and Life Bible Presbyterian Church, are disqualified as servant of the Lord. Because the Bible clearly says that the God's servant must not be quarrelsome, but kind, these Bible Presbyterian leaders were suing each other in the lawsuit, they are disqualified and to be expelled to become servant in the kingdom of God. What a shame. 2 Timothy 2:24 (2 Timothy 2) "And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil," ="Greek bondservant" verse 25 "correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, verse 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from xthe snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. What is the commentary for these Bible verse? 2 Tim. 2:24 Servant is the common word for “slave” or “bondservant” (Gk. doulos), but Paul uses it also to refer to those who preach the gospel, e.g., himself (Rom. 1:1; Gal. 1:10; Titus 1:1) and Epaphras (Col. 4:12). This section (2 Tim. 2:24–26) is a key passage concerning a pastor’s handling of troublesome people in the church. 2 Tim. 2:25 Most interpreters see these opponents as unbelievers who do not have a knowledge of the truth (i.e., salvation). Paul emphasizes the importance of not dealing with such “quarrelsome” people in a “quarrelsome” manner (2 Tim. 2:24) but rather correcting the opponents in a spirit of gentleness (2 Cor. 10:1; Gal. 6:1; Eph. 4:2; 1 Pet. 3:15; cf. gentleness as a fruit of the spirit; Gal. 5:23). This verse further emphasizes the sovereignty of God in granting repentance. 2 Tim. 2:26 come to their senses. Although the fall (Genesis 3) brought about a destructive effect on human reason, salvation brings the ability to begin to see reality. Paul’s regular reference to the false teachers’ lack of knowledge and understanding (e.g., 2 Tim. 2:16, 23; 3:8) points to the fact that they fail to grasp what is really true. the snare of the devil. Paul often describes humanity as enslaved by the devil and in need of rescue (see 2 Cor. 4:4).
