What To Shut Your Mind Against Tim Moran: This is in reply to the question in your post, ID# 169466. Yes, there is another topic that is just crying out for attention. The question is: What do the following verses mean? (In this question I do not accuse anyone of anything. I merely raise the question.) 2 Timothy 2:23 The Amplified Bible But refuse (SHUT YOUR MIND AGAINST, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels. (Emphasis added.) 1 Timothy 6:4 The Amplified Bible He is puffed up with pride and stupefied with conceit, [although he is] woefully ignorant. He has a morbid fondness for controversy and disputes and strife about words, which result in (produce) envy and jealousy, quarrels and dissension, abuse and insults and slander, and base suspicions, Titus 3:9 The Amplified Bible But avoid stupid and foolish controversies and genealogies and dissensions and wrangling about the Law, for they are unprofitable and futile. Grace to you, Kalos :-) |

Participants in the thread: This thread is taking some interesting twists and turns. In my original post -- the one that started the thread -- I asked, "What do the following verses mean?" Then I quoted three Bible verses -- without comment. Grace to you, Kalos |

Scripture ... 1Ti 1:3-11 (v 3), 4:7-8, 6:3-5ff (v 4); 2Ti 2:22-26 (v 23), 4:2-5 (v 4); Tit 3:3-9 (v 9) ... Kalos, You and I both know, and others, know that threads twist and turns ... and even get off subject. For me these verses, and other, mean that there controversies and topics like genealogies which are emphazied but should not because: - they are not God's work 1Ti 1:3 - it doesn't lead to godliness 1Ti 4:7-8 - it causes envy, strife 1Ti 6:4 - it produces quarrels vice kindness 2Ti 2:23-24 - it is the desire of the teacher and some like it 2Ti 2:3 - it is unprofitable and usless vice excellent and profitable Tit 3:8-9 ... so we need to not teach or listen to such junk.
