So there is NEVER a spot in the Bible where you can take it literally?
Is it just me, or is this the exact opposite of what I just said?

Don't we always take verses in context and look beyond their normal meaning in order to find deeper meaning?
Are you trying to use this to disprove what I am saying, or are you trying to add to it? I can't tell.

Those who fear the Lord do live a longer life...are we forgetting heaven. Those who don't fear the Lord do have a shorter life considering they experience the second death that believers do not experience...thank God!

To support Mark's idea a bit, Proverbs is God's peeling back man's actions, choices, words, and intentions and showing us what kind of heart that comes from. If God judges someone as a fool, he has that right since they are in subjection to him. No man is in subjection to me ultimately so I lack that right. I do think however that Jesus like many if not all of his teachings is concerned about your inner world which bubbles over and produces outward actions. Jesus quite often warns people of actions that are getting them close to danger eternally... (i.e. warns the Pharisees they are dangerously close to grieving the Holy Spirit which is also an interesting topic for discussion if this one is magically agreed upon as we all roll up in one Accord!  :laugh: )

I see what you're driving at.   ;)

We are supposed to judge those inside the church (1 Corinthians 12-13) but we aren't supposed to insult people (its not loving) however I'm not sure whats allowed in with friends that know you aren't being serious.  I would still tend to avoid insulting.
