Paul said to shut it...

Romans 3:19 ‭Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.‭
"How do you know whether a man is a Christian? The answer is that his mouth is ‘shut’. I like this forthrightness of the Gospel. People need to have their mouths shut, ‘stopped’. They are for ever talking about God, and criticizing God, and pontificating about what God should or should not do, and asking ‘Why does God allow this and that?’ You do not begin to be a Christian until your mouth is shut, is stopped, and you are speechless and have nothing to say."
Romans: Atonement and Justification, D.M. Lloyd Jones
