"The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed." --Thomas Paine (Author, 1737-1809)
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires.” (2 Timothy 4:3)
What is the "sound doctrine" which has been abandoned by those "wanting to have their ears tickled"?
Paul taught sound doctrine, as follows:
"For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life..." (Romans 6:23)
"This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wills all humanity to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and humans, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all humanity, the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the nations in faith and truth." (1 Timothy 2:3-7)
"...we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all humanity, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things." (1 Timothy 4:9-11)
"As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all humanity be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22)
I rest in the grace of God and the faith of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

"For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all humanity..." (Titus 2:11)
For it is by Grace you have been saved, through FAITH - and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, it is the GIFT OF GOD...Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of FAITH, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 12:2-3)
