Avoid foolish debate if possible with the world-
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 2 Timothy 2:23
But be gentle with them-
And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
*but be gentle unto all men,
*apt to teach,
*patient,
*In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
*if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26
"Some ministers....have educated themselves as combatants. The truth of God is plain, clear, and conclusive. It is harmonious and, in contrast with error, shines with clearness and beauty. Those who love to engage in discussion generally lose their spirituality. They do not trust in God as they should. They have the theory of the truth prepared to whip an opponent. The spirit of Christ has no part in this." Testimonies for the Church Vol.3, p.215
