Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach. For we have no continuing city here, but we seek one to come.

God has some unsavory things to say to you. We know that we must "endure unto the end" in order to receive our promised salvation (Mt. 10:22), but what is it that we must endure? Things that are mentioned in the Bible that we must endure are "hardships", "chastisement", "grief", "tribulations", and "afflictions". But did you know that you must also endure "sound doctrine" unto the end in order to be saved?
Paul wrote to Timothy that the time would come when, instead of enduring sound doctrine delivered by true men of God, God's people would begin to hire men to teach them only what their flesh wanted to hear about Jesus. And of course, if you hire a man to teach you, and if that man is smart, he is going to teach you what he thinks you want to hear so that he can keep his job.
Paul said it this way (2Tim. 4:3-4) "The time will come when they [God's people] will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves [hire] teachers, having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned into fables."
Many Christian churches, when they want to hire, or "heap to themselves" a minister, extend invitations to various ministers from other Christian churches to come deliver to them "trial sermons". These "trial sermons" are a mockery of the right ways of God; they are no more than carnal contests between carnally-minded contestants struggling against each other for a carnal prize. The speakers know they are being judged by their performances and are trying to perform so that the judges, the congregation, are pleased. They would not dare to speak "sound doctrine" to such an audience. It would not be endured, and they know it. These "trial sermons" are sin; they are nothing but auditions for a part in a play, and it is the part of a lackey and a fool. These auditions are no more of God than are auditions by singers and actors for parts in a Broadway musical.
Child of God, come out of that false religion and live! God has servants who will freely tell you the truth! Why pay for lies?
And that, my dear readers, is sound doctrine that many of God's own beloved people, because of the ungodly influence of the religion of Christianity, find it difficult to endure.
