I understand that people learn differently. Some need audio and/or video to get their information. That isn't what I am speaking out against here. I see way too many people going down the path of seeking "hidden" knowledge, or "new" insights to old knowledge, or just anything different that is available out there.

If you search popular believer video channels out there, you can see this in just the titles/thumbnails. Titles in all caps with words such as WARNING or HIDDEN or PROPHETIC or TRUE ORIGINS. Phrases like "You need to know", "you need to stop ignoring", or "banned from the Bible".

A lot of times these "teachers" don't actually understand either what they are teaching or the Bible. I have seen videos people have sent me and see the people saying things that don't line up, either due to ignorance or blatant disregard. Some are just rehashing other people's teachings, very poorly I might add, but they are up there teaching it like they came up with it and it is absolute truth.

Then you have the path that a lot are actually taking after listening to these sensationalist "teachers": they end up straying from the faith. I have even seen a few of these "teachers" deny Christ, then God, and now actively speaking out against God.

Read for yourself. Test for yourself. Study for yourself. I know, for me, I have gotten to a point that I don't watch/listen to any teachers that often. If I do, because I come across something that interests me, I go back and validate what they are saying.

Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

Isn't that what we are supposed to be doing?
