Have nothing to do with stupid, senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

I guess if you consider the entire thing "stupid and senseless" it will do.

On the other hand, if you feel that such questions have a purpose, then this Scripture doesn't apply.

Shouldn't it be "How does God feel about these questions.?" At some point, and IMO we have reached that point in our discussions, you should say to someone that this is where your faith should kick in. If they don't accept that it is their problem. You have taught them as Jesus instructed you to do, but it is not up to us to MAKE them believe it. That's God's work. You give out the word, some plant, some water, some harvest.
