Precious Bible!

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness, 

that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-19

"Precious Bible! With the inspired Scriptures, men may become wise unto salvation through faith in Christ. 

*In the formation of your religious sentiments, come to the Bible; for it is profitable for doctrine.

*In cases of correction, or reproof, take the Bible. 

*Would you be instructed in righteousness? learn from the Word. 

He continues, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Q: To what time does he here refer? 

A: To the very time he had just described: namely, the last days. 

The last days, then, are characterized, 

1. As perilous, and the nature of the perils are seen in Paul’s description of the last days, where he repeats eighteen sins upon those who have a form of godliness. 

2. In the last days there will be very many religious teachers who will labor to defend popular fables, and the masses will follow their teachings. The Apostle says that they shall “heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 

3. In the last days the plain truth of the word will be proclaimed. This is evident from the work of those who support fables. They labor to turn the people from the truth to fables; therefore the truth is proclaimed abroad in the ears of the people. Dear reader, are not these things beginning to have a fulfillment before your eyes?" JamesWhite
