Why should Christians flee from distractions and disputes?

In 2 Timothy 2:23-24, the Apostle Paul advises Timothy to 'avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.' Engaging in disputes over trivial matters can lead to division and distract from the core message of the Gospel. The focus for Christians should be on unity and building each other up in faith, rather than getting embroiled in arguments that do not advance the truth of Scripture. Paul further emphasizes the servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle to all, apt to teach, and patient. By evading such distractions, believers maintain their energy for proclaiming the Gospel and fostering love and peace within the church.
