Precept Upon Precept - Part 2

In the Book of Proverbs, there are two sequential verses that appear to contradict each other, but which in actual sense compliment each other.

Proverbs 26:4 Don't answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.

Proverbs 26:5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools, or they will become wise in their own estimation.

The above verses go to teach us to discern when to answer and when to refrain from answering, or engaging in foolish arguments. It also teaches us that the answer we give can present us as wise or foolish.

The Word of God does not change, but is a living Word, and hence has movements. Just like one can view a specific object from different angles and from different platforms, or with different lens or instruments, and have the object appear differently, so is God's Word. 

Praise to the Good Lord who has given us His Holy Spirit as an anointing within us to teach us His Holy Word, and help us interprete it aright. 

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit - just as it has taught you, remain in him.
