“Neither give heed to myths…” (I Timothy 1:4).
“Refuse profane and old wives' myths…” (I Timothy 4:7).
“They shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto myths” (II Timothy 4:4).
“Not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth” (Titus 1:14).
Paul was warning about this over 1900 years ago. It makes good common sense for us to think about the "myths", "old wives’ myths" and "commandments of men" which get embedded in church doctrine from time to time and return to the truth if we have been "turned" to these "myths".

"It is a trustworthy saying, deserving full acceptation, and it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers, Prescribe and teach these things." (1 Timothy 4:9-11)
