1 Timothy 1:3-4 (KJV)
3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

At first I thought it was a good idea for individuals to point out the heresy of various church leaders, I am changing my mind. It is true that there are ministries out there that are manipulating the Bible to promote an ungodly theology. Unfortunately, pointing out when a person does not represent Scripture properly has become a profitable activity. I suspect each of the YouTubers, I once subscribed to, believe they are helping people make better faith choices. I have read some of the comments and for the most part the words of these individuals are not helping grow the kingdom of God. The Apostle Paul’s words to Timothy regarding such false teachings “withdraw thyself”.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 (KJV)
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

If you ever talked to people who attend churches that preach unbiblical ideology, or even individuals who are loyal to a political group or other ideology, their minds will not receive anything you have to say. A renewing of the mind must take place first and then the truth can be shared. Jesus referred to them as “the blind”, blind people cannot see the truth.

Matthew 15:13-14 (KJV)
13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

God’s way is not the easist way, and the least profitable. I don’t make money talking to one woman, listening to her church experiences. But, as I listen these individuals figure things out, they hear what they are saying and realize it does not make since. These women ask me questions and I point them to their Bible.

Philippians 2:12-13 (KJV)
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

God will work it out not me, not a YouTuber. If we teach: the Genesis male and female, the life in the womb, the duties of a husband, the roll of a wife, and other Bible doctrines Christians will leave places that do not speak the Truth. We must remember, unfortunately, not everyone wants to hear the truth.
