Bible Question: Well the book of proverbs is a book of wrong vs. Right, evil vs. Good, wicked vs. Righteous and so on. So are they really a christian and why wouldn't want to be around them. Iron sharpens iron. |
Bible Answer: Just some food for thought: Iron may sharpen iron, but unrefined iron… how useful is it? Before it is utilized it must be refined, changed from its natural state into a condition that allows it to be useful. You could surmise that the contentious person is unrefined in the process, therefore not beneficial or receptive in their contentious state. Just a thought. WOS |
