Who Says The Bible Isn't Contradictory?
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.
Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.
~ Proverbs 26:4-5
Yeah, back to back contradictions.
*gasp* How to trust the Bible, then? Doesn't this mean it's not accurate?!
On the contrary, I think that these "contradictions" are actually logical. Theoretically, things can be black and white, but this isn't a cookie-cutter world. People are like snowflakes, each different, each unique (just like every one else, ha ha.) We'd need different ways to reach out to different people.
All these two "contradicting" verses are saying is that, we have to be wise and know what to do in any given situation. Sometimes, it's best to answer, and at other times, it's wisest to keep quiet.
Yeah, God knows what it's about.
