Believe the whole Bible in its correct context.
What about when a person refuses to check what they are saying against the Bible when there is reason to believe the person is wrong? We talk about some of the problems with doctrine that occur. Here are a few of the major ones:
People will deny or contradict what the scriptures say.
Some take the scriptures out of their original context.
Some refuse to accept the truths from the Bible that contradict their doctrine. 
Some pick and choose scriptures and do not reconcile properly scriptures that are. 
different from what they already believe.
Some say that the Old Testament scriptures are harsh, but there are hundreds of scriptures that say otherwise. They are good judgement and knowledge, they are good, and the Psalmist is delighted with God's law, they are worth more than lots of money.
Psalms 119:66, 68, 70, 72 NKJV:
Verse 66 says, "Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe Your commandments."
Verse 68 says, "You are good, and do good; teach me Your statutes."
Verse 70 says, "I delight in Your law."
Verse 72 says, "The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

We need to be open to what is true because God will judge us not by our standards, but by His standards. People who are not doing their best to teach and live out truth are in danger of the lake of fire (see Revelation 21:8). People will say they are not lying, but if they are not teaching the truth the way they should, what will happen to them and their followers? 
Jude 1:13-15 NKJV says about those who do not keep God's commandments, 
Raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever. Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds.
God is the judge and people need to be a little more careful with their understanding of the scriptures. The Bible says that those who live sinful lives will not be in God's future kingdom (see 1 Corinthians 6:9-19, Galatians 5:19-21, and Revelation 21:8). It is worth the effort to seek truth.
