Foolishness

1 Conversation

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.
