An interesting episode. I realize that certain verses of the Bible seem to contradict themselves, but never realized two of those verses were side by side. Again, it’s all due to interpretation (especially as they weren’t written originally in English). But even so, there is more than one way to look at something. And you two made some very good points. Almost goes with the saying, “When arguing with an idiot (fool), be careful he is not doing the same thing.” Correcting him once (with love, not with a superiority complex) is one thing. Constantly trying it when he is unwilling or unable to change is another.
Very much so, and I think verses like this really force us to slow down and understand the meaning of what is said too!
What needs to be kept in mind is that the verses do not form a contradiction. They form a dilemma. You can treat them as saying, “Sometimes you do X, other times you do Y.” It’s also an admission that, when it comes to a fool, there’s no winning.
