What Is A Fool Biblically Defined?
It seems that the most evil people in our culture today, brothers and sisters, seem to have a reputation—at least in our culture—as being good, upright, and upstanding citizens. Evil people are called noble, or the rogue is spoken of as generous. This is nonsense and a sign of the time prophesied when evil is called good and good evil.
For a fool, a Nabal, speaks nonsense, and here’s the key: His heart inclines toward wickedness, to practice ungodliness, and to speak error against the Lord. There’s your definition—a biblical definition of a fool or a Nabal.
A Nabal, or a fool, is not someone who is somehow intellectually deficient, silly, or stupid, or slow in learning. Not at all. In a biblical sense, a Nabal is someone who is aggressively wicked. A fool in the biblical sense is someone who is purposefully ungodly. That is a fool. And that’s why we read in verse 1 of Psalm 14: The fool has said in his heart, There is no God.
