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.
