He refers to 2 Timothy 2:14-16, which advises against quarreling over words, as this behavior is unproductive and harmful to listeners. We are urged to present ourselves to God as approved workers who are not ashamed and who accurately handle the word of truth. The passage also warns against engaging in meaningless discussions, as those who participate in them will become increasingly ungodly. Joseph mentions several biblical instances where prophecies did not unfold as expected, explaining that all prophecies should ultimately direct people to Jesus.
Allison stresses the importance of diligently seeking God and knowing Him personally. Joseph believes we can search for God through His word and by praying in the Spirit.
