wow, TN........Christ didn’t answer Pontius Pilate a couple times..........somehow that translates into His refusal to answer all kinds of questions put to Him all the time; and negates the words of Peter to those who call themselves Christians:

1 Peter 3:5 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

But I’m unaware of any Scriptures wherein Christ “counseled” His people to refuse to answer questions concerning their faith and beliefs, as has been implied on this thread.

That would be Professor Robert Millet; molder of young minds at BYU.

6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

In other words don’t share what is of great importance with those who are faultfind, contenious or want to do harm etc
