'Inventing' in the Bible

I sent a message to him, saying, “Such things as you are saying have not been done; you are inventing them in your own mind.”

So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].
