“Turn away from godless chatter”. “Have nothing to do with godless myths…” “Command certain men not to… they promote controversies rather than God’s work…”

The Spirit of God is not interested in speculations and traditions or anything else that takes you away from the work of God. There are those things in Christianity that occupy people’s time, energy and their focus that promote controversies and end up dividing people. We spend our time trying to figure out things that are not clearly laid out to us and we take our focus off of God’s work. I am not saying that one should study Bible prophecy (end times) or the significance of numbers and things like that, but I am convince that whatever gets in the way of God’s work which is advancing the Kingdom of God, must be at the very least secondary. Things that promote controversy that are not foundationally Biblical, but opinions, tradition, myths… need to be put away as a childish thing.
