2 Timothy 3:1-8
"3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these.
6 For among them are those who slip into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, worthless in regard to the faith.
9 But they will not make further progress; for their foolishness will be obvious to all, just as was that also of Jannnes and Jambres."
We see many people now who think they are learning things but who have been tainted by the world and their own desires, refusing to listen to the truth as they venture further and further down the rabbit hole of deception.
The more those who are deceived learn false things the more unreasonable and unteachable they become. They will not listen to sound doctrine nor will they listen to rational and reasonable discussion that differed from their desired beliefs.
The irrational responses of the "silly women who are led away by their own lusts", the lust for false knowledge that works against the gospel is growing exponentially in these final days.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
We must keep speaking, keep calm and carry on with what God gave us to do, soon our time will be over and there will be no way to redeem it.
