Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
The doers of the word are right.

If you give me an example, perhaps I can show you why it doesn't.I carefully added the words “appears to.” But honestly, it does oppose. Until you get the rounded view and understand both sides together. The many arguments show this is so.
Never answer a fool according to his follyIf you give me an example, perhaps I can show you why it doesn't.
Lol too funny.
Never answer a fool according to his folly
Always answer a fool according to His folly
No man has seen God at any time - no man may see God and live.
I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.Can you clarify that first part of your post about a fool stunned?
Yes I know the scripture but is it not contradictory ?4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
This is probably the better translation, since I don't see "Always" and "Never" in the Hebrew. "Always" and "never" were probably added to improve the Proverbs stylistically.4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

Yes, it is contradictory, which was my point.Yes I know the scripture but is it not contradictory ?
Can you explain this ? I myself have never understood it.
Nice duck.Yes, it is contradictory, which was my point.
The gentleman didn’t agree with me that scripture could appear to be contradictory or that it actually IS contradictory until we understand the verses together.
When you understand it together, instead of just the one part, you go from a pancake not turned to a pancake turned and ready to eat.
I think he hung himself but then the tree branch broke and he fell headlong into the valley and when he hit the ground his body split open and his intestines came out.I'm more interested in contradictions like Luke reporting that Judas died in a fall, while Matthew reports that he hanged himself. I still think Simon the Zealot slit his throat in a Jerusalem back alley. The Zealots knew how to handle traitors!
Have you seen men in here answer a fool in the same foolish way they are speaking? Of course you have. It devolves into flesh fueled madness.Nice duck.
Lol
Good answer sister. And good morning to you as well.I think he hung himself but then the tree branch broke and he fell headlong into the valley and when he hit the ground his body split open and his intestines came out.
I didn’t want to take away all your fun!Good answer sister
And why is it necessary to invent a situation like that that is not in the original text?I think he hung himself but then the tree branch broke and he fell headlong into the valley and when he hit the ground his body split open and his intestines came out.

I heard a man speak further on it the other day but I won’t be able to do it justice…but it had to do with where all the potters worked, like…the potters district, which he said was at the top of the valley and if a vessel came out too marred to use, they threw it out, down into the valley and it smashed to pieces.Good answer sister. And good morning to you as well.
I'm sorry. Please, carry on.I really really wish this was all over.
I'd like to fellowship with many here but I guess it will have to wait...................
