Titus 3


At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
There was a period in my life in my Childlike faith and admiration for God came to a standstill as I considered scripture flawed in some aspects. Restrictive. Illogical. Inapplicable. However, to my ignorance I was actually a slave to what my mind and body dictated, never being content with what I had. To a degree, I can stilll somewhat feel depressed or discontent with life but at least I acknowledge that my trials have purpose in them now. The hope of salvation that was bought for me and a spiritual family keeps me going.

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law,because these are unprofitable and useless
Arguments that are are pointless and un beneficial can destroy Church fellowship, distract us from God and not making us bear fruit.
(To be frank, I'm aware of the importance of this verse but I lack life experience with this subject. I'm not sure if i've ever caught myself in a debate/argument that created dramatic tension or consequences.)
