Ooops! I transposed my numbers in talking about this. I think
many linger too much toward verse 5, and perceive Bill & DaveH to be better
at hanging toward verse 4, but would be better sometimes to move toward 5.
Sorry for the confusion.
Let me put it in plain language. Bill & Dave tend to be more
reserved about answering. I tend to have the opposite problem. I
often look like the fool in my desire not to let the fool be wise in his own
conceit. I think that I'm getting better at not doing that quite so much,
but here yet again, in answering Lance, I kind of look foolish in transposing my
numbers!

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.
David
Miller.
