Epd #107 | The foolish young man. At what point did this young man turn foolish? What was his first mistake? At what point should he have turned around

We have for the last 2 episodes been talking about relationships and of course the area of purity has to come up. It is such a hot topic that we are doing 2 parts for it. And today is going to be a special focus on this young man devoid of understanding. (“devoid of understanding” is a very polite way of saying, “you are Dense! My friend!” )

But today is not about insulting people but I believe the Bible uses such phrases to emphasise a major point. Where there is wisdom, there is also “un-wiseness” and this is one of those cases.

The passage says in verse 22 “All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver,

like a bird darting into a snare,

little knowing it will cost him his life.” - Proverbs 7: 22

I’m not the main speaker today but I would like to make a point for anyone hear that thinks “that can never be me” - You are “little knowing.”

Some one may ask, “At what point did this young man turn foolish? What was his first mistake? At what point should he have turned around”

First, his first mistake we don’t know, was he always foolish? Possible but still not sure. I don’t want to believe that tis was his first compromise. This was the compromise that finally cost him his life

Secondly, At what point should he have turned around? I also want to believe that for a breath he took, right there with him was an opportunity to turn around.
