Some leaders say we shouldn’t watch or subscribe to other churches online. But if we’re truly rooted in Scripture and have the ability to discern truth, does forbidding us from hearing others show spiritual protection, or does it reveal insecurity and a lack of trust in our discernment?

I’m still learning, but I do enjoy watching other teachers. Am I wrong? At the end of the day, our loyalty is to the Most High, not to man (Acts 5:29).

It shows wise spiritual protection.
It shows insecurity and lack of trust in the flock.
Believers should test all teachings themselves (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
This is cult like behavior, run.

As a leader and authority in a Ministry you cannot and should not seek to control people. People are lawless anyway and will rebel either openly or secretly and do what they want. That said, everyone should be submitted to the authority of the Ministry or Assembly they are submitting to. If they don't trust the wisdom or leadership of a Ministry or Assembly, they should seek TMH to guide them to where they are appointed to be. Too many teachers will bring confusion. When I personally encounter people with tickling ears I know their prayer life is trash and non-existent. Same thing for people chasing after the next book. Their prayer life is suffering.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree that submission to righteous leadership is important (Hebrews 13:17), but true submission can’t be forced — it’s built on trust and proven guidance over time.

As someone still learning the truth, I believe it’s wise to test all teachings and build my own understanding (1 John 4:1). Trust is something that grows as leaders show good fruit (Matthew 7:16-2, not just by position alone.

I don’t see listening to other teachers as having ‘itching ears’ (2 Timothy 4:3-4), but rather as being like the Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily to confirm what they heard (Acts 17:11).

At the end of the day, our loyalty should always be to the Most High above all (Acts 5:29). Thank you for sharing — iron truly sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17).
