Bible Question: proverbs 22:6 - is this to be viewed as a promise from God- what about free will in adult children if this is a promise that alway comes to pass? |
Bible Answer: Proverbs...not always absolute promises 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 |
