  • Dave Purdle on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction Prov 1:7 . I think we have to define the word "fear " here. It is the Hebrew word yirah, which means reverence or devotion. I would say it is the type of reverence that a child would show to parents. It is not a fear of hell, punishment or wrath. The fear we should have is a starting point of who He is i.e. He is sovereign, holy, etc : This fear is the starting point of wisdom.
  • Julibird on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    How can we teach the "fear of the LORD " without scaring people, esp. young adults, and teens from viewing God as a tyrant?
  • Mary on Proverbs 1:7 - 9 years ago
    Fearing God to me is a reverance for him, because of who he is and the love that he has for me, there is no greater love than his, if I am engraved in the palm of his hand. I think when they say there is no God, they are afraid, because they will have to answer for all the times they denied him, that 's the scaryvpart.
  • Xana on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago

    I think its about the non believers of Christ that mock his word and doesn 't believe in him. I believe its about people selling their souls and those who dont fear him

  • Dleed on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    This verse teaches that the wise are able to interpret the dark sayings of the world and the faithful will turn away from those evil. Still, we should not mock the folks who fall for the temptations because them they will hate knowledge, and will not choose to fear the LORD. The wise and the folks who fall to temptation can both find safety and quiet in the LORD. Amen.

    Fearing to the lord means reacieving Jesus but fools boast themselves,they say to themselves that they know everything and there is new no god
  • Gasford on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    If only we would heed to these words of wisdom.
  • MockingBird on Proverbs 1:7 - 9 years ago
    This is not saying to be afraid of God The word is saying to have a reverential trust in God in who and what He Is. To know Him and the power of His resurrection . A fool says no to God. I would rather be a fool for God than a fool for the things of the world. I would rather be in agreement with God than die to be in agreement with the worldly people. I would rather be rejected from the world than to be rejected from God. That is a fearful thing there !!!!
  • Geraldine cole on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    Well praise God .God children has nothing to worry about just do not let the devil and his sinful children lead u their way because the wicked watch the righteous and they want to slay them but God will not allow it. how Do God know what the devil childrens have plan for the righteous God looks down on the earth he knows the hart of man and don 't u worry God is our defence praise God Amen
  • Geraldine cole on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    What the word is telling me is when u no people that do not want to hear or a accept God word do not hang out with them the word is saying God will leave them to their own devices and when trouble come on them God will not hear them some people will never accept God they have chosen the devil God already knows the one that will come to him and he no the one who will not he knew that before we were born. We shouldn 't try to make any one come to God. It they do not no God tell them about God and pray for them God will do the rest.Praise God he is all knowing.He loves us all nothing can be done unless God allows it and he allows everything for his reasons be it good or bad on the earth
  • JoAnn Hutcherson on Proverbs 1:3 - 9 years ago
    This verse is right in spot with 2014 society. People cannot do justice without wisdom from God. We see the results from man made thinking now.
  • Geraldine cole on Proverbs 1 - 9 years ago
    In reading this chapel I am reminded of what I have read in the past the word of God has taught me that if I honor God he will honor me he will be my defense in time of trouble, and if there is a problem to hard for me bring it to him and he will handle it. but if I turn away from God and don "t listen he will warn me many times if I do not want to here him then I will reap in my life what I sowed out be it good or bad and if I sure die I will go where I live my life on earth to go be it hell or heaven we decide where we go not God by life we live praise God for giving us free will
