Study Note

The prediction that 'the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears' describes a spiritual pathology of consumer religion that shapes its teaching around audience preferences rather than divine truth. 'Itching ears' (knēthomenoi tēn akoēn) is an acute image: the appetite for novelty and flattery in preaching becomes an itch that demands constant scratching, generating a market for teachers who gratify rather than form. The 'heap to themselves teachers' ('episōreuousin') conveys accumulation and excess — not one comfortable teacher but a stack of them, confirming each other's reassuring messages. 2 Peter 2:1-3's warning of false teachers 'through covetousness... with feigned words make merchandise of you' develops the same analysis of doctrinal corruption as a market phenomenon driven by appetite.
