1 Timothy 1:3-4

As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrine, nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

This is a very important part of scripture. It is telling us that we should be not teaching alternative doctrine from the bible, and we should not be teaching doctrine. This is important because if we teach strange doctrine, people will lose the message of Jesus Christ. One of the most important things that we have in life is the truth of Jesus. Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. (John 14:6) The Bible is God's word, and his high authority. Jesus is so great, and he is so loving and just. We should also not pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. This means that we should not pay attention to myths, superstition, and horoscopes. For people who don't know, horoscopes are different signs by month. They supposedly explain our characteristics based off what month we were born in. The only person who knows us, and everything about us is our Lord and Savior; Jesus Christ. The only thing we should be doing with our lives is furthering our faith journey with Jesus by reading and studying His word.
