2 Tim 2:14; Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.
2 Tim 2:15; Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
2 Tim 2:16; But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,
It seems we live in a society where we want our opinions to matter. We want to be heard. Even if what we are saying doesn't edify God.
You almost get the feeling people are looking for value. Maybe if they say enough things about enough different subjects, maybe they will find value somehow.
It seems there is a lot of word twisting even here on TalkJesus, people mix verses and half-verses that have very little or nothing to do with the subject at hand.
Instead of "accurately handling" the word of truth, we see how far we can twist it.
Ecc 5:2; Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
Spreading the gospel is one thing, but bringing up things just sake of argument and debate is another.
1 Cor 2:1; And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1 Cor 2:2; For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
1 Cor 2:3; I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling,
1 Cor 2:4; and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1 Cor 2:5; so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
Some people think that if they use enough logic and big words, they will sound wise. The Bible says to avoid using many unneccesary words.
Prov 10:19; When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.
It's almost as if we think we are "more godly" if we debate the Bible.
Tit 3:9; But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

lol but I really think that does hinder some people more then it helps them. Like you suggest BAC the arguing and debating just so someone can prove how smart they are seems to get more obvious as I grow.
