(2Ti 2:16) “But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” The word “profane” indicates the crossing of a threshold. It enters into fruitless (babblings) speculation that moves away from the plain teaching of Scripture – what God has said. As you will see in the coming verses, open your Bible, read the Gospels (life of Jesus) and the Epistles (they teach you how to live) and cling to them!
