Ever since the Fall, purity must be on the lookout for potential impurities. What we believe to be true about God is vulnerable to strong and destructive forces. It's no wonder that Paul warned Timothy to "watch your life and doctrine closely."

"the devil strives ceaselessly to turn us to evil. And when he cannot lead us completely away from the doctrine of Jesus Christ, he labors to make it distasteful to us some way or another, and to entangle us in new curiosities, only to bring to pass that we may not be constant in the faith that we have received, but give way to vacillation.
