Why is avoiding foolish controversies important for Christians?

Titus 3:9-11 warns Christians to avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, and quarrels about the law because they have no value and are unprofitable. Engaging in such disputes distracts us from the central mission of the Gospel: to know Christ and make Him known. The Apostle Paul encourages the church to focus on the ‘faithful word’ that leads to growth in knowledge and grace rather than get caught up in trivial debates that can lead to division and strife. By prioritizing the Gospel message and glorifying Christ, we can cultivate unity among believers and fulfill our calling as followers of Christ.
