I Timothy 6:20 ” Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in doing have wandered from the faith.”

Here, the Apostle Paul is warning the young Timothy to be beware of the deception of false teachers and their claim to have “new” knowledge. Or as Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “The Church doesn’t determine what the Bible teaches. The Bible determines what the Church must teach.” In other words, if you hear the words…”We’ve had a new revelation concerning this area of the Bible, and while God’s Word is plain here, we think He may have gotten it wrong.”… you only need to remember that God doesn’t change. (Malachi 3:6, Psalm 102:27, Psalm 110:4, James 1:17) and His unchangeable character applies to His Word also. Paul then reminded Timothy that he was the trustee of God’s invaluable & unchangeable treasure of the Word… and that it needed to remain undamaged and unmodified.
