THE FOOL: BIBLICAL DEFINITIONS

THE FOOL - BIBLICAL DEFINITIONS 

Psa. 14:1; 53:1; Prov. 12:15; 24:7; Eccl. 2:14; 10:14; 

Luk. 12:20


INTRODUCTION:

The Fool in love is exciting and spontaneous but a little bit fickle. ... The Fool indicates big opportunities for advancement. Be clever and research your opportunities and the risk but don't be afraid to take the plunge!
I want to bring out the Bible definition of the noun “FOOL” I met with one atheist friend who claimed to be wise because he studied, as we were talking I discovered that God called him a fool.
No one likes to be addressed as a fool. Everyone claims to be wise even the atheists. Mostly the lawyers cannot be addressed as fools (they are the learned)

But the Bible calls some people "FOOLS" Why?

I. BECAUSE OF THEIR HEART'S CONTENTS (PS. 14:1; 53:1)

“Their hearts say "NO GOD"

"They are corrupt"

"They have done abominable things"

II. THEIR CONCEPT IS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES (Prov 12:15)

He claims to be right, even when others tell him that he is wrong.

He does not listen to reasons (he is always on his own argument)

III. WISDOM IS TOO HIGH FOR A FOOL (Prov 24: 7)

 "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (PS. 111:10; Prov 1:7; 9:10).
 “Anything you claimed to have without the "fear of God is foolishness "

IV. THE FOOL WALKS IN DARKNESS (Eccl 2:14)

 He does not understand spiritual things. He has no spiritual insight
 He is totally blind, he will die in blindness and end up in hellfire

V. THE FOOL IS FULL OF WORDS (Eccl. 10:14)

He claims to have answers to questions. He can talk, mostly if he has money too

VI. THE END OF THE FOOL (Luke 12:20)

The fool will die shamefully. The fool will go to hellfire on choice. The fool will then realize that "there is God" at last and in hellfire.
