Continue in the things which you have learned and be assured of knowing from whom you have learned them. II Timothy 3:14
Continue in the things which you have learned and be assured of knowing from whom you have learned them. II Timothy 3:14
Young believers are inundated with teaching and traditions, some of which are not true and even dangerous for the new babe in Christ to ingest! This is why Paul is warning Timothy to continue in the things that he learned from the Lord Jesus and to be assured that it was from Him and not someone else that he learned them from.
There are many deceivers out there and Jesus warned us that in the last days there would be many false prophets and so there are! I can't tell you how many times I have heard people say in defense of these people, but they know the Bible, true, but so does Satan. Anyone can take a scripture and twist it to fit his belief or maybe add something or take away something like making a "Witches Brew!"
There is no private interpretation of the word of God, in other words it doesn't mean one thing to you and something else to another, it is revealed to the believer by the Holy Spirit and confirmed to be the truth of His word!
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. II Peter 1:19-21
