THEY (HEARERS) SHALL HEAP UPPILE UPWHO?

2 TIM 4:3
o

THEY SHALL HEAP UPPILE UP FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERSWHO WILL PREACH & TEACH WHAT THEY (HEARERS) WANT OR WOULD PREFER TO HEAR TO THEMSELVESRELATIVE PRONOUN: THIS DECISION IS MADE BY THE CHURCH (HEARERS) BECAUSE OF FREEDOM OF CHOICE. EX 35:5, 29; 36:3; 2 COR 9:7

The papal leaders select such portions of Scripture as best serve their purpose, interpret to suit themselves, and then present these to the people, while they deny them the privilege of studying the Bible, and understanding its sacred truths for themselves. The whole Bible should be given to the people just as it reads. The Bible was designed to be a guide to all who wish to become acquainted with the will of their Maker. They were not revealed in such a way as to perplex and mislead the honest seeker after truth. Every truly honest soul will come to the light of truth. Light is sown for the righteous. [Psalm 97:11.] And no church can advance in holiness unless its members are earnestly seeking for truth as for hid treasure..Every conceivable form of error will be accepted by those who willfully reject the truth. GC, p. 523

THEY WILL TURN ( ACTIVE TO PASSIVE) THEIR EARS FROM/AWAY FROM HEARING THE TRUTH. THE ACTIVE VOICE DENOTES THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE ITCHING EARS WILL TURN AWAY FROM BIBLE TRUTH. AND THEY (PREACHERS AND TEACHERS) WILL CAUSE TO HAPPILY SUPPLY THEIR DEMAND A BIBLE PROPHECYWITHIN NOT WITHOUT MATT 24:5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 46-51; 1 PET 4:16-18; 1 TIM 4:1-2

TEACHERS RESPONDING TO HEARERS WANTS NOT NEEDS

2 TIM 4:4
