Bible Question: My question is about this verse: Prov 20:14 It is worthless, it is worthless! says the buyer; but when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain]. Is it a buyers right to make a purchase knowing that they will be using that purchase one time for an event and then returning the purchase for a refund and boasting to their family/friends about it??? |
Bible Answer: timley1959, I think the best way to answer that is by the New Testament Standard of love. Would you wish somebody to treat you this way if you owned the merchandise? Second, do you think the behavior brings honor to Christ? I appeal to these questions because I do not think the proverb itself is trying to directly make a statement about the validity or wickedness of this practice, but rather trying to make one wise/aware to the reality of the practice. In Christ, Beja |
