Avoid Foolish And Ignorant Disputes, Knowing That They Generate Strife

Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But Avoid Foolish And Ignorant Disputes, Knowing That They Generate Strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.


To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR

From:  GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]

Subject:  MY WORD;   John 1:1 (NKJV)  1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  John 1:14 (NKJV)  14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.


Proverbs 10:11–14 (Tanakh) 11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, But lawlessness covers the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers up all faults. 13 Wisdom is to be found on the lips of the intelligent, But a rod is ready for the back of the senseless. 14 The wise store up knowledge; The mouth of the fool is an imminent ruin.

Proverbs 10:12 (The Living Bible) 12 Hatred stirs old quarrels, but love overlooks insults.
Proverbs 10:12 (NASB95) 12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.

Proverbs 13:10 (NKJV) 10 By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom.

Proverbs 13:10 (NASB95) 10 Through insolence comes nothing but strife, But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.

Proverbs 13:10 (The Living Bible) 10 Pride leads to arguments; be humble, take advice, and become wise.

Proverbs 13:10 (Tanakh) 10 Arrogance yields nothing but strife; Wisdom belongs to those who seek advice.

Proverbs 17:1 (NASB95) 1 Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it Than a house full of feasting with strife.

Proverbs 17:1 (The Living Bible) 1 A dry crust eaten in peace is better than steak every day along with argument and strife.

Proverbs 30:32–33 (YLT) 32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil—hand to mouth! 33 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!

Proverbs 30:32–33 (The Living Bible) 32 If you have been a fool by being proud or plotting evil, don’t brag about it—cover your mouth with your hand in shame. 33 As the churning of cream yields butter, and a blow to the nose causes bleeding, so anger causes quarrels.

Philippians 1:12–18 (NKJV) 12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

2 Timothy 2:20–26 (NKJV) 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

2 Timothy 2:23–26 (The Living Bible) 23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish arguments, which only upset people and make them angry. 24 God’s people must not be quarrelsome; they must be gentle, patient teachers of those who are wrong. 25 Be humble when you are trying to teach those who are mixed up concerning the truth. For if you talk meekly and courteously to them, they are more likely, with God’s help, to turn away from their wrong ideas and believe what is true. 26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from Satan’s trap of slavery to sin, which he uses to catch them whenever he likes, and then they can begin doing the will of God.


Today is June 11, 2016.  Please open your Bible and take the time to read Psalm 119: 81 - 88, uninterrupted. Ask the Holy Spirit of the Living God to teach you and give you His wisdom and understanding.  Praise God!

[Please Note:  Always Read the Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation.   2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams)   16  For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed.  Please pay attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]

Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
