Foolishness
Created | Updated Sep 1, 2009
This is Week Twenty Two of Giford's Bible Study Programme.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Proverbs 26:4-5
So are we to answer a fool or not? This is quite a good pair of consecutive verses to point out to anyone who claims there are no contradictions in the Bible.
The best response I have seen to this is to claim that this is a dilemma, rather than a contradiction.
