Don't be gullible to believe anything you hear. But then again don't be gullible to disbelieve anything you hear either. That is, don't gullibly accept anything that critics say. You should be just as skeptical about criticisms of propositions of alleged facts or ideas as you are about such propositions themselves.

You should be just as skeptical about criticisms of propositions of alleged facts or ideas as you are about such propositions themselves. The Berean Christian Bible Study Resources In today's society, with everything from schemes of individuals to even so called prosperity gospel,I believe that ever believer must apply this everyday. We must test the spirits to see if their from God. God requires us to be good stewards. Being a gullible person isn't being a good steward. For one that is gullible is taken by everything they hear and even see. Luke 16:10 “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. " I believe we can apply this verse to this subject. Being faithful with what ever God has given you: discerment,wisdom,understanding, as well as any thing material,financial etc. As God increases these things you can become faithful in much. But if one is taken in (gullible) by what one says or others asks for this isn't being faithful with little. We must pray about everything and test every spirit, this I believe is being faithful.We must remember the later of this verse as well. (and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.) Those who abuse the gullible person or take them for a ride will continue to do so and become greater with each person they trick, scheme, swindle or take advantage of... I think this is a good warning to us all. God bless ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
