The Bible warns against false teachers who distort the truth for personal gain, encouraging believers to hold firm to sound doctrine.
Throughout Scripture, such as in 2 Timothy 2:14-19, Paul warns that false teachers will arise, promoting divisive doctrines and misleading teachings. The church is called to recognize these dangers and remain steadfast in the truth of God's Word. Paul instructs Timothy to remind the believers to avoid pointless arguments that lead to strife and ultimately to the ruin of their hearers. This accountability is not just vital for church leaders but for all believers, who must discern truth from error and uphold the integrity of the Gospel, ensuring that their teaching aligns with Scripture.
