2 Timothy 2:23‭-‬25 NLT Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth.

There are believers who love to debate scripture. They want to let people know their interpretation of scripture is the correct interpretation. Some like to make people feel small and they boast about their knowledge of scripture.

Don’t be baited into an argument or debate about the scriptures. Most of the debates have nothing to do with salvation and the universal understanding that Jesus Christ is Lord. These debates are distractions from Satan to divide us and get us off our assignment of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We have an entire world full of people going to hell, but in chat rooms and on social media, believers are debating if speaking in tongues is biblical or not. We’re debating if miracles are still for today or if it’s acceptable for a minister to call themselves an Apostle. What’s the point? They are insignificant compared to Christ.

We may have different interpretations of scripture and that’s okay. There’s no reason to fight or lose friendships over it. Don’t get distracted. As long as Christ is preached and He’s greater than our differences, that’s all that matters.
