But the bible tells us to resist false teachings.
How do we reconcile this all variance in our minds?
We can see in
2 Tim 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
And 2 Thess 2:15 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
THIS, Elsie, is how we reconcile all the variance - we hold fast to what was taught by the apostles, handed down from bishop to bishop in Apostolic succession remember that John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
