“But avoid foolish questions…and contentions…for they are unprofitable and vain” (Titus 3:9).
Sometimes, when we speak to unsaved people about the Lord Jesus, and the importance of being saved, they may try to dodge what we say by bringing up foolish questions. Yes, sometimes they have honest questions, and we should answer those questions from the Word of God. But many times their questions are foolish, so that they can avoid having their conscience reached by the Word of God. All they want is a good argument.
In these cases, we need to avoid those questions, and rather stick to the important point. We need to ask, “Are you saved”? Do you know where you are going when you leave this world? Do you realize that you will have to answer to God for your sins someday? The important thing is not to get into a difficult discussion, but rather to reach their conscience. As someone has said, and it is true, “Whenever we speak from the Word of God, the other person’s conscience is on our side.”
