PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute".

Well, today you will find many of them sitting in a church pew listening to some heretic telling them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. That's why many of us believe we are getting closer and closer to the day when Christ will return for His church. So I expect to see more of these heretical teachers twisting the scriptures to suit all those suckers sitting in their audience.

Must be a long article if it doesn’t even scratch the subject matter until the third paragraph...

I go to a Southern Baptist church here in KY but in Seattle I went to a large non-denomination that, for one of it’s wednesday “small group” outings, went to a bourbon bar.

And the Sunday school lesson last week was that Christians should abstain from all alcohol use. I’ve studied the subject in depth and my wife was afraid I was going to cause a scene. But I didn’t, though I brought out a couple of important points without getting into the weeds.

It’s interesting how you can inject false doctrine on people that really don’t understand scripture and see their pastor as some sort of “super” Christian and therefore believe everything he says without questioning his doctrine.

How about you? Do you have itchy ears also, or do know someone who listens to false teachers just to satisfy their itchy ears?

PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute".

IIRC, drstevej once said "There's a seeker born every minute", and it wasn't meant as a compliment regarding some evangelistic efforts.

The interesting thing is that when those dogs are having their itchy ears scratched, it lulls them to sleep. They go into a stupor.

And when you stop, they look for more.

The spiritual parallels are so obvious that they can’t be ignored.

Lots of so called Christians are being lulled into a spiritual stupor by having their itching ears scratched at the cost of their souls.

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; and of course the obligatory religious critics to set us all straight ...
