Bible Question: What is the meaning and application of Titus 3:9? |
Bible Answer: Titus 3 Today's English Version 9 But avoid stupid arguments, long lists of ancestors, quarrels, and fights about the Law. They are useless and worthless. GOD'S WORD Translation 9 Avoid foolish controversies, arguments about genealogies, quarrels, and fights about Moses' Teachings. This is useless and worthless. 10 Have nothing to do with people who continue to teach false doctrine after you have warned them once or twice. Notice verse 10. How interesting! How applicable! ------------------------------------------------- "Titus 3:9 is more about quibbling about issues of law than anything else . . . Any how it would be directly about the law..." If verse 9 is only about issues of the Law, what does that mean? Is it OK to have stupid arguments, quarrels and fights about anything and everything else, as long as they are not quarrels over the Law? (Compare 2 Tim 2:23.) |
