Divine guidelines and wise observations Expressions of general truth From 'Introduction to the Book of Proverbs 'Interpretive Challenges 'A final area of challenge comes in understanding that proverbs are divine guidelines and wise observations, i.e., teaching underlying principles which are not always inflexible laws or absolute promises. These expressions of general truth generally do have "exceptions," due to the uncertainty of life and unpredictable behavior of fallen men. God does not guarantee uniform outcome or application for each proverb...' (MacArthur Study Bible, John MacArthur, Word Publishing, 1997). I would not interpret Proverbs 22:6 as a promise. Nor would I categorize the book of Proverbs as parables, probabilities or fiction (i.e., not true). Grace to you, kalos |

Kalos, It was very kind of you to have taken the trouble of finding this valuable piece of information to me. Is this MacArthur Study Bible a software of some kind or you copied it from the Bible itself? I appreciate your comment too. Thank you, Finder |
