1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5 A wise man will hear and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

2. Have you ever had a discussion with someone whom you notice doesn’t know information about what they are talking about, but they are very sure they know everything? For example, talking about where to eat, I might mention that my wife is from Bolivia, and a person might say as several have in the past, “Oh, she must love tortillas!” What just happened with this statement is what some call ‘an apples to oranges’ comparison. The person presumed that tortillas are made in all Latin American countries. Their logic and reasoning failed them by presumption, they should have simply asked what is her favorite food. We forgive these little mistakes, but flawed thinking may create a conflict.

The logic and knowledge of this person did not help them perceive that the foods, music, culture, politics, and customs are different in every single Latina American country! Certain similarities exist, but the history, ancient native roots, attitudes, race mixes, language dialects, and religious innuendos make up each country be noticeably varied. Presumptions and our limited human logic, unless educated by God, will always fail us, so we must live and learn in life and accept humbly much correction about many things.

Spanish is spoken in all the Latin countries, 21 of them, so does that mean if we want to know how many people speak Spanish in the world, we should just add up all those populations? Yes, no, maybe so? Did you know what you will get? Around 300 million! But here is the problem, I just taught you a lesson on flawed logic, which failed a few of you. To know the total amount of Spanish speakers in the world you must include all the immigrants in all the countries worldwide and when you do that then that number is, according to approximate statistics, around 500 million! 600 million if you include bi-lingual ones! In the U.S. there is 42 million Spanish speakers alone!

3. Why do I choose to preach on logical reasoning? Because there is a crisis in the world right now of people who cannot reason logically! The Bible inferably teaches practicality and logic! We observe ungodly people today insisting on calling evil good and good evil. An example in the Bible of someone taking an illogical decision was King Saul when he lost the last battle and decided to fall on his sword. He knew He needed to get right with God, but when a person is not right with God, they do illogical decisions as he did going into battle when he knew he could not win. His troubled spirit was a red flag he was not right with God, but he acted anyway.

Definition: Logic is a method of reasoning that involves a series of statements, each of which must be true if the statement before it is true, for more information see Wikipedia which states it is the study of the laws of thought and correct reasoning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic

Definition of logic 1 : a proper or reasonable way of thinking about something : sound reasoning 2 : a science that deals with the rules and processes used in sound thinking and reasoning. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/logic

How is it we observe that we have an educated society, somewhat functional in thinking in order to carry out complex tasks in a job, calculate bills, and survive, but these masses of millions of people conclusively seem to be taking life decisions that are illogical?! Would you not agree we see people more and more delusional, dysfunctional, impaired, stressed, medicated, and basically devoid of intelligent logic? People when it comes to discerning what is good, wholesome, and constructive seem to have lost their marbles, right? We must address this problem. Some call it mental illness, but it is an erroneously learned thought process.

4. The answer to obtaining clear logical thinking is simple, it must be practiced at what we are focusing in on today Proverbs 1: 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. The people of the world are being educated against logic, that a male may be a female if he calls himself that and you have no right to contradict it, and if you bring up Biblical instruction as the basis for consistency in truth and for evidence, then you are mocked and attacked by a crowd that uses insulting speech, anger and intimidation to override common sense. Logic, the facts, and the truth is getting trampled on by the idiocy of fools. Don’t get fooled to appease illogical lost souls. 2 + 2 will always be 4 in a logical world!
