1 | Where's the line? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Lionstrong | 5499 | ||
Paul does not tell Timothy to refuse speculations, but foolish and ignorant speculations. When do speculations become foolish or ignorant. For example, does one cross the the foolish and ignorant line when he speculates that the will of fallen man is not free? Lionstrong |

2 | Where's the line? | 2 Tim 2:23 | orthodoxy | 5510 | ||
I have always considered questions to become "foolish and ignorant" when asked by people who are more interested in causing controversy or picking a fight than producing edifying dialogue. Pagans raising the same objections again and again is foolish and ignorant. So is nagging at a doctrine when one is not interested in changing one's own opinion or anyone elses. I believe that all subjects are open to honest speculation, but no subjects are open to foolish and ignorant speculation. Question for you though: do you have any Scriptural support for the idea of human free will? I've always considered it to be an extra-biblical concept and would be interested in another opinion. |

Thanks Ortho, What you said sounds good. As to human free will, I don't think that this verse is the place to discuss it. If you find a verse or passage where that subject is appropriate, attach a note to this note to tell me where it is, and I'll meet you there. Grace to you. Lionstrong |
