Science Falsely So Called

1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1Ti 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

In the time of the apostles they contended with false science (knowledge) and those that professed to have some kind of erroneous faith. I suppose today is no different. Presently, we have those who promote a faith that is relative to situations and circumstances. They can make “the faith once delivered to that saints” fit about any whim or justify any sin. Doctrine is “legalistic” and unity is the basis of Christian fellowship. I guess the up-side to it all is that this condition is a sign of the end time. 2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

With all the degree mills available to the “wanna be” theologian it is not surprising that so many are preaching “profane and vain babblings” which we are commanded to avoid. I have more confidence in the sincere student of the Word of God who sits at his dining room table with an open King James Bible and listens to the Holy Spirit of God than I do in the modern babbler who promotes himself rather than the Lord Jesus Christ.

Everything seems to be “septic” today. No one is brave enough to identify sin and call it by what it is for fear that they will be labeled “judgmental” by their peers. Matthew 7, “judge not lest ye be judged” is their cry and they can’t even get that right. The next time you hear that said, look and see if it is not coming from someone who is trying to justify their own sin.

The old faith, the old time religion, is still the right stand. Stay with the Book. Let it be your science, your song and your solace.
