Strange teachings and false teachings
1 Timothy 1:20
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
20 [a]Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.
False: pseudo against the teaching of the Bible
Strange: source is different.
Speculation - (haka haka) no way to verify it.
Myths - cultural stories that are not also proven
Genealogists - (lahi) family lines
Why are we as believers instructed to avoid strange teachings?
1. Strange teachings generate mental stimulation but do not cause anything else. V3-4
Move us away from administration of God which is faith. Our faith weakens.
2. Strange teachings generate an impure heart, a hardened conscience and insincere faith.
3. Strange teachings generate division and ultimately cause relational break-up.
