2 tim 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Can God make a rock so big he cannot lift it?
The are extreme examples but in your Bible studies it is easy to be drawn away from the teaching of the word to what i like to call “pooled ignorance.” People whose feelings about scripture seem to trump revealed truth. They always have some new thing, some new angle some long discussion about some theory or opinion that disrupts the plain teaching of the word.
They try to rewrite the scriptures to make a little god in their own image, one who lets them continue in wrong choices and wrong attitudes.
But we are to say ‘That’s an interesting thought for later but the text here says….” Because. as Paul said, these juicy side roads can draw seeking souls off track and cause damage to their souls. Also It can bring ruin to the ones who are allowed to participate.
There was apparently some arguing going on and Timothy is admonished to nip it in the bud.
In the next verse we will see how that can be done.
Are you part of a study? Are there people who like to get the teacher off track ? Maybe your teacher us able to handle it, but sometimes a little help in that is appreciated.
Stay on track
