But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
Titus 3:9
Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
2 Tim 2:14
Paul appears to be encouraging us to seek to build other up, to encourage, to reach out and come to an understanding of Jesus and His ways, not to prove something over another, but rather to simply shine a light on the path, and then follow.
I have been opposed by some, who seem to have only one approach, to knock others over on the belief that then they will know Jesus and rest on Him alone. It is like carrying a shot gun and thinking taking chunks out of others, shows them their mortality so means they will then know the power of Jesus in their lives, rather than feeling they are pious and holy.
So I get from this one should choose the people we talk with carefully, and share with the goal of drawing close to Jesus and building each other up in the faith, Amen.
