The Book Of Proverbs And It's Life Lessons by plusQueen: 6:51pm On Oct 01, 2008
Do you know the book of proverbs in the Bible has so many wise sayings that applies to everyday life.
You may actually save yourself heartaches by heeding those words.
I just love the scriptures.
Do you know the Bible talks of being a surety for other people's loans and warns against such.

"Only a man with no sense would promise to be responsible for someone else's debts" (Proverbs 19:18)


"Don't promise to be responsible for someone else's debts. If you should be unable to pay, they will take away even your bed" (Proverbs 22:26)

Great words of wisdom.

Pardon me, but is this not exactly what the claim Jesus did, promised to be responsible for our debts(sins)? Or did Jesus never read Proverbs?

I think you also need to show George W Bush these verse, since he is trying to put through plan for the US government to be responsible for the debts of the banks.

Why would a sensible christian president do something so "foolish" as this?

A lot of Nigerians may need to hear this one.

It admonishes fools to sharap!

Proverbs 10:23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

Proverbs 10:13 Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding,but those lacking sense will be beaten with a rod.

This proverb always comes to my mind whenever I'm hanging out with friends, especially girl-friends smiley

Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.


and this one I distinctly remember was played before my very eyes, when we heard Abacha was dead, see celebration!
Pr 11:10
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
      when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

For the cheating husbands out there

"The lips of another man's wife may be as sweet as honey and her kisses as smooth as olive-oil, but when it is all over, she leaves you nothing but bitterness and pain. She will take you down to the world of the dead ; the road she walks is the road to death" (Proverbs 5:3)

Proverbs 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Re: The Book Of Proverbs And It's Life Lessons by JeSoul(f): 7:31pm On Oct 01, 2008
I have seen this proverb true too many times in life. It is a worthy one to arm oneself with:

Pr15: 1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

and if you don already enter.The Bible gives you some tips on what to do.

Proverbs 6

1 My son, if you guarantee a loan for your neighbor or pledge yourself for a stranger with a handshake,
2 you are trapped by the words of your own mouth, caught by your own promise.

3 Do the following things, my son, so that you may free yourself, because you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Humble yourself, and pester your neighbor.
4 Don't let your eyes rest or your eyelids close.

5 Free yourself like a gazelle from the hand of a hunter and like a bird from the hand of a hunter.


In order words give the person no sleep,call him constantly ,show up,call the authorities,keep hounding the "son of a gun" day in day out say you no want again until he lets you off

You are on the roll baby. If acada didn't mask your real persona, you would have been a real riot; part sowanbe, part abete woman in Oju olomo oto! and still other parts. I am sure you can divide into more than "2" parts. At least "3" considering the presidence! lol.

Maybe you misunderstand Jesus' role in salvation?

Well this is one that I absolutely love. It says Warning against rejecting wisdom. Jesus is Wisdom, so I say Warning against rejecting Jesus.


Warning Against Rejecting Wisdom

20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street,
she raises her voice in the public squares;
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,
in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:

22 "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?

23 If you had responded to my rebuke,
I would have poured out my heart to you
and made my thoughts known to you.

24 But since you rejected me when I called
and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand,

25 since you ignored all my advice
and would not accept my rebuke,

26 I in turn will laugh at your disaster;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you-

27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me.

29 Since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the LORD,

30 since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,

31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm."

Why all this ravings and rantings of a lunatic. Why all these horrible and wicked proverbs that have no meaning except to insult and instill hatred in people? Didnt you see other kind worded proverbs in the bible to share with us?

Me thinks you have a sick mind! lipsrsealed
