Thoughts#2359
Avoid foolish questions
Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing
good, than
in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor
importance and
incessant discussion of subjects of no practical
importance
Questions upon
points wherein Scripture is silent;
mysteries which belong to God alone;
prophecies of doubtful interpretation; and
mere modes of observing human ceremonials,
are all foolish, and wise men avoid them. Our business
is neither to ask nor answer foolish questions, but to avoid them altogether;
and if we observe the apostle's precept (Titus 3:8) to be careful to maintain
good works, we shall find ourselves far too much occupied with profitable
business to take much interest in unworthy, contentious, and needless
strivings.
Titus 3:9
Avoid foolish questions.
