Itching ears

Itching ears speaks of a lust for novelty that overrides or eliminates the need for healthy Scripture. The term is used by the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy:

2 Timothy 4:3-4: For 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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (KJV)
