Lionheart, "senseless wranglings" have to do with the Law and untruths about Christ, His death and resurrection. I would hope that someone would correct me if I stray into this. I come to this forum mostly to read posts and learn. There are some topics which I am more passionate about mostly because this is more my calling and how God geared me. I would think most on here are teachers, and are very passionate (sentimental) about that. Many are evangelists (we are all called to be) and I don't think they could spend five minutes on here before needing to call someone and tell them about Christ, while others are to busy thinking about how the chairs are to be set up for tonight's service (if you disagree with that guy, prepare to get an earful). God gifted all of us and made us passionate about that calling, but if I came off as arrogant or having an attitude, I apologize to those whom I've offended. I do tend to boast about what God is doing in and through my life, sometimes it comes across like I am boasting in myself (not good). I like to think He uses me just because He likes me :) In Love, Mike |

Dear Mike, You are correct, the "useless wranglings" when read in context can surly be seen as you have stated, but just as v16 it also can and should be taken with a much broader application. We should indeed, in all cases, be diligent to study and know the Scriptures, and it is never a good thing to wrangle about semantics or be too pedantic about our views. I have to say though, I haven't seen occasion to admonish you about your "attitude", thus far, and though you don't necessarily agree with all other views, you have shown to be quite graceful and respectful, at least as far as I can see. Although, that may not be very far, but I do try. :-) John |
