THE “FOOLS” ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES
“The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.”
The Scriptures called those who don’t believe in God “fools” (Psalm 14:1- 3) 1- “To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2- The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3- They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
The Scriptures called those who destroy their homes and their relationship with their love ones “fools.” (Proverbs 14:1) “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” This is what he or she will have instead, if you pluck down your home or relationship with your spouse. (Proverbs 15: 35) “The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.”
The Scriptures called those who refused the truth of God “fools”. The Scriptures called those who also changed the glory of God and were unthankful to God “fools.” (Romans 1:18- 22) 18- “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19- Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. 20- For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21- Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22- Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
And here are some of the good and wise counsels of the wisest man- King Solomon. (Proverbs 1:1- 7) 1- “The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2- To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3- To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4- To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5- A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 6- To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 7- The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
