Do you know someone who knows all the answers even before he or she knows the question? If so, you are not alone. Solomon evidently knew some. His comment about them can be found in Proverbs 18:13. He said, “He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.” One area where this kind of person can be found is religion. These folks know how one is saved without bothering to read and learn what God has said on the matter. They “feel it in their heart,” or some pastor or reverend has told them to “just ask Jesus to come into your heart right now,” and they know the answer without examining the matter. Such, according to Solomon, act foolishly and shamefully. Men worship the way that “makes them feel good,” without any regard to what God has said pleases Him. Some know the answer about God’s attitude about homosexuality without hearing God on the matter. You should read some of the “hate mail” I get on this when I show what the Bible says. Surely, this is a terrible and dark shame on a religion or a nation who so thinks and acts. God calls it foolishness, foolishness that damns the soul, and all of the laws and wicked decisions of men do not change or make void God’s law. Where do you stand in such matters? Do you know the answer before hearing God in His Word?
