Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 6:4 - Attitude of False Teachers

They speak “arrogant words of vanity.” False teachers have an overinflated sense of their own importance, not hesitating to rebel against God and His Word. That merely confirms, however, that they are infected with a deadly spiritual disease.Paul went on to write that, in addition to being conceited, the false teacher “understands nothing.” In arrogance, he claims to know everything but understands nothing. All of his imagined intelligence, pretended scholarship, and supposed deeper insights amounts to mere foolishness to God. Romans 1:22: “Professing to be wise, they became fools.”
