Titus 1:14
“not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.”
What does Titus 1:14 mean?
Paul is cautioning Titus against getting distracted by made-up religious rules and extra traditions that people had added onto God's word. Over time, Jewish leaders had layered countless human-invented regulations on top of Scripture, and some people were treating these add-ons as if they were God's actual commands. Paul wants the church to stay focused on what's genuinely true rather than chasing after endless rules that don't actually draw people closer to God or transform their hearts. It's a reminder that genuine faith centers on God's truth, not on keeping up with whatever new requirements someone might invent.
