Thanks.
I forgot a few other terms that seem to apply to false doctrine promoters, ie, self-centeredness, smugness and egocentrism, all three under the highest term which is...narcissism.
Generally speaking, those with this condition will not listen to reason. What they say is all that is important to them. They can dish out insults, but can not take them. Their ego is to such heights as to control their every emotion and they will do or say whatever they can, or have to, to maintain their supposed superiority. They also state all kinds of stuff they have done or accomplished in order to back their sense of supreme intellect.
So where is truth to be found? What does the term "truth" actually mean? Too many people claiming to speak truth yet all opinions are different, so somebody is just making things up and claiming it to be truth, right?
I say what we find in the panoply of scripture is the best truth we have. If we can't believe them, then what do we believe, who can we trust, and who will save us from false doctrine?
