9. Hao nao “wei for argue and kwestinim samting” affectim olketa Christian long first century?

⁹ Long leta wea Paul raetem for Timothy hem talem gudfala advaes long hao for lusim olketa samting wea no stret. Olsem example, Paul talem Timothy hem no stret for “argue abaotem olketa word” and hem talem hem for “no lisin long olketa iusles toktok.” (Readim 2 Timothy 2:14, 16, 23.) Why nao Paul talem datwan? Samfala long kongregeson kamap apostate and teachim olketa laea teaching. Olketa narawan talemaot samfala idea wea kam from tingting bilong olketa seleva. Nomata olketa idea hia no againstim teaching long Bible, diswan mekem raoa kamap wea mekem olketa long kongregeson no wan mind. Dastawe Paul encouragem Timothy for “no join insaed kaen iusles wei for argue and kwestinim samting.”

10. Wanem nao iumi shud duim sapos enitaem iumi lukim or herem olketa idea bilong olketa apostate?

¹⁰ Long taem bilong iumi, wei for garem olketa apostate insaed kongregeson hem no samting wea kamap staka taem. Nomata olsem, maet samfala taem iumi lukim or herem olketa idea wea againstim olketa teaching bilong Bible. Bat iumi mas rejectim olketa. Hem no wise for story witim olketa apostate, nomata maet long Internet or long eni nara wei. Nomata maet iumi garem tingting for laek helpem samwan wea apostate, sapos iumi story witim hem, datwan minim iumi no obeyim God nao. Hem givim komand long iumi for barava stap klia long olketa apostate.

11. Wanem nao savve mekem kongregeson no garem wan mind, and hao nao olketa elder savve showimaot gudfala example long diswan?

¹¹ Hem no olketa apostate tingting nomoa wea savve spoelem peace insaed long kongregeson. Olsem example, maet samfala long kongregeson garem difren tingting abaotem wanem kaen hapitaem nao hem fitim Christian. Sapos olketa trae for forcem tingting bilong olketa long narawan, datwan savve mekem “kaen iusles wei for argue and kwestinim samting” hem kamap. Bat waswe sapos samwan long kongregeson hem encouragem narawan for duim hapitaem wea againstim olketa Bible principle? Olketa elder bae givim kaonsel long man wea duim datwan, nomata maet datfala man no agree long datfala kaonsel. (Ps. 11:5; Eph. 5:3-5) Nomata olsem, olketa elder bae no forcem narawan tu for followim idea bilong olketa seleva. Olketa elder followim disfala kaonsel long Bible wea sei: “Lukaftarem olketa sheepsheep bilong God wea hem nao markem iufala for lukaftarem. . . . Iufala mas no bossim olketa pipol bilong God bat iufala mas showimaot gudfala example for olketa sheepsheep.”—1 Pet. 5:2, 3; readim 2 Corinth 1:24.

¹³ Olketa Bible principle wea iumi just storyim savve helpem iumi for mekem olketa wise disison abaotem olketa nara samting long laef tu. Olsem example, staka garem difren tingting abaotem kaleko, lukluk, health and healthy kaikai, and olketa nara samting olsem. Samfala maet laek for forcem tingting bilong olketa abaotem olketa samting hia long nara pipol, and diswan savve mekem raoa kamap. Bat sapos samting wea samwan laek duim hem no brekem eni Bible principle, iumi shud no argue abaotem wanem iumi ting hem shud duim. Bible sei: “Wakaman bilong Lord mas no raoa, bat hem mas kaen long evriwan.”—2 Tim. 2:24.
