Proverbs

[TomVols]

Of course. No one's saying they aren't. Because they're profitable, we must interpret them accurately and faithfully. We do not have the license to treat God's Word haphazardly.

 

[Salamander]

That is why study to show thyself approved is required.

Could we have other Proverbs offered that seem to be contradictory to the precepts of Scripture?

I know I have read some at face value thinking they did, but I studied it further and found that I was only mistaken.

You have no idea what my "estimation" is, and I will also thank you for not trying to read my mind {SNIP}

I appologize, Brother, for being so easily misunderstood. I was never trying to read your mind, in jest, there's too much blocking my view! Like, distance, your skull, and there's some sort of milky substance surrounding your brain.

Maybe too many Fruit Loops, or something?
