Nope; that is your reading into that passage.
Timothy was going through a great time of anxiety for standing for Paul's gospel.
Paul is merely reminding him once more that his gospel was given him (Paul) by the same Prophesied Jesus Who Timothy had heard of all his life.
Same "Jesus Christ" - "of the seed of David" - but "according to" Paul's "God" given "gospel...concerning Christ" - "the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest..."
Several times in 1st and 2nd Timothy; he reminds him of his roots "from a child..."
You are so dense Danoh: the INTENSE TROUBLE FOR TIMOTHY WAS THAT CHRIST WAS THE SEED OF ABRAHAM AND DAVID, not what the neo-Judaism of that area had cooked up with their direct visions from angels.
"David served God's purpose in his generation" (Acts 13) --a theocracy, got it? That was not the purpose of the Seed of David all over again in the 1st century. The purpose for raising David's fallen tent was the mission to the nations.
Every time you do this, all I hear is the 2P2P of D'ism trying to show someplace, when it was long outgrown. You need to measure or stack up to Gal 3-4 on the child-trainer age or just quit. I'm sick of D'ists who don't know enough about that so they keep trying to find ways for the prophesies to be literally true so that a 2nd P can happen because they don't know the divine maturation structure of Israel's history.
