Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou
also be like unto him. Proverbs, Chapter
26, verse 4.
Sometimes people treat others like a fishing
tournament. The fisherman baits his hook
with some challenging remark, just enough to entice us to take the bait by
challenging our religious beliefs. Once
we bite that lure and get involved in the interaction, the fisherman yanks the
pole and starts to reel his catch in.
Usually, it’s best to resist the opportunity to respond to people when
they set us up.
Because this is an example of how I’ve applied this Bible passage to my life, it doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the passage.
