Ok so as I have stated in the past, Christians should be able to talk about anything with other Christians who have open ears, heart, and eyes, without getting offended at all. Yes, it is a perfection of Christian behavior not seen so much but it is the mark that the bible sets for us spiritually related kinfolk.

Let’s get on with the bite:

Pro 1:7 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Ok I hear you, you want to know what despise really means:

To despise is to feel a strong sense of contempt, disgust, or disdain toward someone or something, viewing them as beneath respect or completely worthless. It is an intense emotion that often goes beyond simple hatred, typically involving strong moral disapproval.

For example: "She despised the way he treated others."

Key Characteristics

• Moral Condemnation: It usually involves judging someone as morally deficient or vile.
• Intense Dislike: It combines disgust with a very low opinion of a person or object's worth.
• Rejection: It frequently leads to feelings of loathing or the urge to completely dismiss and avoid the subject. 

Common Synonyms

• Loathe: To feel intense disgust or abhorrence.
• Scorn: To look down upon as unworthy or beneath notice.
• Detest: To dislike intensely.
• Disdain: To refuse or reject due to a feeling of superiority.

So when you despise wisdom and instruction, that is a doctrine or teaching from one called to teach, then you meet the definition of that scripture which states, “fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

So if tongues can be supported as being necessary and a gift from God and you reject it you are foolish. End of the story.
