Since it is April Fool's Day, how does the Bible describe the fool? How do you deal with these kinds of people?


The Bible describes one who is a "fool" in several scriptures. These come from the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament:

1. A fool starts fights. (Proverbs 18:6)
2. A fool is easily upset. (Proverbs 12:16)
3. A fool believes everything he reads. (Proverbs 14:15)
4. A fool loves to talk, but hates to listen. (Proverbs 18:2)
5. A fool is fiercely independent. (Proverbs 28:26)
6. A fool makes light of sin. (Proverbs 10:23)
7. A fool hates their mama. (Proverbs 15:20)

We should take heed, lest we fall into the category of being "a fool". We also need to examine ourselves before we go pointing the finger at anyone else. (Matthew 7:3, ESV: Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?)

Just my thoughts on the matter...
