What type of questions? II Timothy 2:23

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.   TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

   II Timothy 2:23 "But foolish and unleanred questions avoid, knowthat they do gender strifes."

Paul, here, is warning Timothy about foolish questions.  Why?  Because they lead to strife."
 
foolish - Hebrew "yashar (yaw-shar') a prim root, to be straight or even; to be right, pleasant, properous
unlearned--Greek, "undisciplined"; not tending to promote the discipline of faith and morals
strifes - Hebrew/Aramaic  -  b la    or belah  (bel-aw')  to wear out, decay, wax old, become old, consume, waste.

So, foolish, or deceptive and undisciplined questions we should avoid, stay away from.  They become old, wearing on us, they consume us and for what.  These are definitely tools of satan.  Have you ever been in a meeting where someone or a few always ask "off the wall" questions.  You think, where have they been, why are they asking these silly or stupid questions?  This is what Paul is talking about.  Remember, some of these people tried to weave into Christianity some of the old testament rules.  The pharisee and saducees tried to trip up Jesus.  These are the type of things we need to be aware of.
  Beware of questions that are not straight or pleasant and disrupts the discipline of faith and morals.  What do we do?  Pray, time alone with God, be still and listen.
   May this touch someone who needs this.  I know I do.  Love you all.
 In Christ's Love and Grace
