The following passage teaches moderation and artistry in how we answer foolish people: Proverbs 26:4-5 (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. >From my perspective, many on TT have a tendency to linger too much under verse 4 rather than verse 5. Some people on the list, like Bill Taylor and Dave Hansen, are better at hanging closer to verse 5, except many times, I think they would do better to fall back toward verse 4. In the end, where we hang our hat on these verses effects our fruit, and Jesus Christ will judge us accordingly. Let each man give account of himself to Christ alone, according to his own conscience, and let us be careful not to judge another man's servant. I'm satisfied to walk by this rule. Peace be with you.
