Paul did not instruct Titus to yell "Shut Up!" at those insubordinate clowns who were teaching flagrant errors.

HMMMmmm...

Galatians 2:11
But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

"Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

=============================================================

So to you, Elsie, "I opposed him to his face" means the same thing as yelling "Shut Up!"?

The Bible text you posted absolutely does not contain the words "Shut Up!", or anything remotely like them.   Confronting someone face to face about something you disagree with them about is not the same as yelling at them to "Shut Up!"

(Understanding the truths of the scriptures is never achieved by trying to re-write the content of those scriptures, so that their meaning is completely changed to match what a person wants them to say.   People who do that are just deceiving themselves.    That kind of flagrant misinterpretation of scripture is guaranteed to make those who practice it arrive at a complete misunderstanding of what is actually being said there.)
