•1 Timothy 1:18–19 (NIV) — 18 Timothy, my son, I give you this
instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so
that by following them you may fight the good fight, 19 holding on to
faith and a good conscience.
Some have rejected these and so have
shipwrecked their faith.

•In The NT We Have Warnings Against Such A Falling Away
•2 Timothy 4:3–4 (NIV) — 3 For the time will come when men will not
put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will
gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their
itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth
and turn aside to myths.
•Jesus Warned This Would Be A Sign Of The Last Of The Last Days As People
Would Be Led Astray By Fasle Prophets And Their False Teachings
•Matthew 24:10–11 (NIV) — 10 At that time many will turn away from
the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false
prophets will appear and deceive many people.
