Text based: 2 Timothy 4.1-5.  Exhortation of the apostle Paul to Timothy his son in the faith and all of us children of God. "I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word, plead the time, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Because time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts, And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and turn aside to myths. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. "2 Tim 4.1-5  In the course of church history there have always been those who love sound doctrine. As the end approaches, the situation will get worse in this sense.  "But know this: that in the last days perilous times." 2 Tim 3.1 (read the whole chapter 3).  "Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will abandon the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." 1 Timothy 4.1  Let's examine some parts of this text, especially verses 3 and 4.  1) "not endure sound doctrine":    Many profess to be Christians, attending "churches" (denominations) and show that they serve God, but will not accept the original apostolic faith of the NT, nor examples of the heroes of the faith of the TAA, nor the Bible demands that the believer ordering separate themselves injustice.  "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then the Greek." Romans 1:16  2) "turn away their ears from the truth":  The authentic biblical preaching of a man or woman of God will no longer be accepted in many churches And actually this is already happening. The offset from the true desire to make a gospel sermons that less demanding.  "Who have strayed from the truth, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some." 2 Timothy 2:18  "Ever learning, and can never get to know the truth. And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. "2 Timothy 3:7-8  "Contentions of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is a cause of gain, from such turn away." 1 Timothy 6.5  "Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who deviate from the truth." Titus 1:14  Will no longer accept portions of the Word of God dealing with repentance, sin, destruction, the need for holiness and separation from the world.  "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. "2 Timothy 3.15-17  "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their, and my people so wish, but you will do after this?" Jer 5:31  "And behold, thou art unto them as a song of love, who has a pleasant voice, and that respect as well, because they hear your words but do not do them." Ez 33.32  3) "heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts":  These false believers and leaders do not want pastors (those who have the ministerial gift) by the standards of the Word of God.  "Hold the pattern of sound words which you heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit through the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. "2 Timothy 1.13,14  "This is a faithful saying: If anyone desires the episcopate, fine work he desires. It is therefore appropriate that the bishop must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, honest, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not covetous; that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity. (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, so that became proud, do not fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have good testimony from those outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience. And let these also first be proved, then let them, if they are blameless. "1 Timothy 3.1-10  But those who seek to tolerate his selfish desires and worldly. Choose preachers with gifts of oratory skills to entertain the people with a message and assure you that you can be faithful and continue to live after the flesh.  "That the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So those who are in the flesh can not please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. And if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him who rose from the dead dwells in you Jesus, who rose from the dead in Christ shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh will die, but if by the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. "Romans 8.4-13  "And there was also false prophets among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who will secretly damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious, which will be maligned by the way of truth. And through covetousness they will exploit you with false words; over which they have a long time the sentence will not be late, and their damnation slumbers not. For if God spared not the angels who sinned, but cast them into hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for the court; And spared not the old world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, seven others, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly, and condemned the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing them to ashes, and setting an example to those who live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, weary of dissolute life of the wicked (for that righteous man dwelling among them, tormented every day just soul, seeing and hearing their lawless deeds) So, you know the Lord deliver the godly from temptation and to reserve the unjust Day of Judgement to be punished: But chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government headstrong, stubborn, not afraid to speak evil of dignities While the angels, though greater in might and power, did not speak out against they blasphemous trial before the Lord. But these, like unreasoning animals, who follow nature, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of you do not understand, perish in their corruption, receiving the reward of unrighteousness, as they that take pleasure in the everyday pleasures; Spots they are and blemishes, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery, and not cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, cursed children: who, forsaking the right way , wandered along the path of Balaam son of Beor who loved the wages of unrighteousness, but he was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds driven by wind force, for which the blackness of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, and lasciviousness, those who were away from those who walk in error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption. For someone who is overcome, the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, it became the last state to them worse than the first. For better for them not knowing the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them, Thus came for them what a true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit , and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mud. "2 Peter 2  The Holy Spirit warns all who remain faithful to God and submit to His Word, that await persecution and suffering for the sake of justice. Furthermore, they must separate themselves from people, churches and religious institutions that deny the power of God unto salvation, and who preach a gospel modified (Galatians 1:9; 1 Timothy 4.1,2; 2 P 2.1; Jude 3; Rev. 2.24)
