In the Bible, Romans chapter 16, verses 17 to 19, the Apostle Paul says: “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.” This passage, because it uses the word “appetite” is widely regarded by Biblical scholars as referencing “wolves in sheep’s clothing.” What does it say about the imperative to seek wisdom and overcome naiveté, especially regarding consensus narratives shaped and maintained by politicians, the media, and even the clergy?537 views0 answers0 votes
