Avoid foolish questions

Titus 3:9-11 “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”

Download Avoid foolish questions

This is one of the many verses we must remind ourselves about often.

Ministers of Jesus Christ should understand core doctrines and have at least a conceptual understanding of how to navigate complicated aspects of our faith.

In doing this, we must remember not to be weighed down by foolish struggles concerning opinion, preference, or the letter of the law.

These encounters profit nothing and succeed only in magnifying ourselves.

Still, there are those both in and around the church that teach doctrine that is clearly false.

These would seek to pervert the gospel and deceive many.

God has given us tools from His word to identify and reject them.

Let us never confuse legalistic wrangling with Biblical confrontation of evil.

Titus 3:9-11 “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”
