What does the Bible say about foolish questions?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches us to avoid foolish and unlearned questions as they lead to strife and are unprofitable.

In 2 Timothy 2:23, Paul instructs believers to avoid foolish and unlearned questions because they breed strife among brethren. This principle is reiterated in Titus 3:9, where it's clarified that these types of questions, particularly those concerning genealogies and contentions about the law, are unprofitable and vain. Engaging in such questions diverts attention from the truths of Scripture and does not edify the church. Instead, believers are called to focus on the truth of God's Word, which provides clear and necessary answers about faith and practice.
Scripture References: 2 Timothy 2:23, Titus 3:9, Titus 3:8-9
