Does Arguing Scripture Convince Anyone?

Does Arguing Scripture Convince Anyone? -Arguing Scripture with someone can result in turning them away from not only Scripture, but also from the Word itself, Jesus. -14 Do everything without complaining and arguing.-Philippians 2:14a
14 Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.-2 Timothy 2:14
24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth.-2 Timothy 2:24-25-DIVINE WORDS BY DIANE.

This witness is true. Wherefore REBUKE them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; - Titus 1:13

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. - Titus 2:15

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; - 2 Timothy 4:2-3

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. - 1 Timothy 5:20

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. - Matthew 22:29.

And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, - Acts 17:2
