False Doctrine, Ear Tickling & Myths
2 Timothy 4:3-4, “3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”
Consider the following list…
False Doctrine
- Preaching that Christians don’t need to repent of sin.
- Preaching that wont mention hell or sin.
- Preachers that believe the Bible has errors and is not infallible.
- Teaching that says Christians have to follow Jewish laws or “sacred names.”
Ear-Tickling
- Preaching that is never about doctrine but only “you can make it” type messages.
- Preaching that doesn’t take verses in context but uses the Bible as a fortune cookie.
- Cowardly preachers that wont address LGBT issues, abortion or sin in their church.
Myth Based
- Man-centered prophetic ministries that literally make up things to appear spiritual when they are really immature.
- Preaching that promotes universalism.
- Preaching that adds man’s ideas to the Bible to make Jesus more “politically correct,” thus they worship a “mythological Jesus.”
