Are your ears itching?

The bible warns us VERY CLEARLY, that a time will come when we won't want to listen to GOD, but instead we will INTERPRET EVERYTHING to the point where we DO WHAT WE WANT, WHEN WE WANT, THE WAY WE WANT TO DO IT - and really ignore what God has to say on the matter...

2 Timothy 4:1-4 - I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Let's explore this just a bit:

Bad Teaching #1 - Adam & Dirt

Imagine this....

You attended a bible study today and you left with new information that you didn't know before.  So you go home armed with this new information and you begin to disseminate it to all of your friends and loved ones.  But little did you know, the information you received from the perhaps well-intentioned teaching IS FALSE.  Instead of going home and looking it up or researching it for yourself, you took that information and began giving it out to anyone who'd listen.  What does that make you?  Well, at best it makes you a bad teacher, at worst, it makes you negligent and untrustworthy.  Ouch!
