Sirach 20:13-15 "The wise man makes himself beloved through his words, but the courtesies of fools are wasted. A fool's gift will profit you nothing, for he has many eyes instead of one. He gives little and upbraids much, he opens his mouth like a herald; today he lends and tomorrow he asks it back; such a one is a hateful man." Try reading Solomon. Wisest man that ever lived. Oh, was the above written by a cyclops? Many eyes instead of one seems a bit of an error on someone's part. Then again, it isn't scripture so it should be expected...

Ah, yes, Protestants pick and chose which books to listen to and which to not. Like Maccabees, Sirach. Yes, the father of Protestantism, Luther, refused to accept Maccabees because it proved the worth of praying to the dead, those who have risen. Read 2Maccabees.

Then again, it isn't scripture says you. Other people say otherwise. Who is to decide who is right and who wrong?

Wisdom of Solomon 13:1 "For all men who were ignorant of God were foolish by nature; and they were unable from the good things that are seen to know him who exists, nor did they recognize the craftsman while paying heed to his works..."
