Paul is instructing Timothy concerning ministers and teachings in the church, not outsiders. All of those in Asia within the church had abandoned him. Paul spoke of a “great house” having both honorable and dishonorable vessels, and cautioned Timothy not to argue with these ones or get entangled with foolish speculations. These ministers had a deceptive form of godliness only. Today these same ones use the TV and the internet to creep into homes and captivate women for base gains.
