All things, not all people.
Do you recall two men by the names of Hymenaeus and Philetus, who, concerning the truth, erred? How did they err? By telling others "The resurrection has past already." What did this proclaimation do? It overthrew the faith of some.
How was their pronouncement able to overthrow the faith of anyone? Because those who were given to that falsehood did not have a solid foundation in the first principles found in Hebrews 6. Those six principles, which make up a Christian foundation, are, even today, not being taught.
Instead, from charismatic pulpits today we hear the repetition of pet doctrines that feed the ambitions of kingdom builders. The hearers, sadly, have chosen to heap to themselves teachers -- those who, with every word, entice them to reach for entitlements rather than true spiritual growth.
