Welcome to another episode of Bible Difficulties and Answers, hosted by Lance Smith. Today, we're unpacking a familiar yet profound question: Is it okay to call someone a fool according to the Bible? Join us as we explore Jesus' words in Matthew 5:22 against the backdrop of the Bible's frequent use of the term. Dive deep into the dynamics of wisdom versus foolishness and discover how context and the condition of the heart play critical roles. We'll discuss how Jesus' warning goes beyond words, advocating for truth delivered with love rather than judgment with contempt. Tune in for insights and practical takeaways as we navigate this nuanced topic together.

Lance Smith’s ”Bible Difficulties and Answers” tackles ”Is it okay to call someone a fool?” with wit and clarity. He contrasts Jesus’s warning in Matthew 5:22—contempt risks hellfire—with the Bible’s use in Psalm 14:1 and beyond. It’s about venom, not the word: truth’s fine, judgment’s not. Humor, stories, and a ”Bless your heart” vibe drive it home—grace beats spite. Capped with a Foghat riff, it’s a sharp listen!
