Bible Question (short): What are profane babblings? |
Question (full): Shalom,brothers and sisters. In these verses; 1 Tim.1:4, 4:7, 6:20, 2 Tim. 2:16, Titus 3:9, 1:14, we are told to avoid"endless genealogies", "profane and old wives tales", "profane and vain babblings", and "foolish questions and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law." Can anybody give me a clearer understanding of this? It also would seem that some questions on this forum might fit in there somewhere. I do understand the old wives tales. they are usually nothing more than superstition. Also, can a Christian be superstitious? Wouldn't that be untrusting in the Lord? God bless,michael |
