Subject: What To Shut Your Mind Against |
Bible Note: 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.
