The Blind Hog

There's a saying, "even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while." Just because someone is right about something does not mean their right about everything.
This is why God told us to question all things, test all things.
 
1 Thessalonians 5:21
"20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt, 21 but test all things. Hold fast to what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.…"

Ephesians 5:10
"Test and prove what pleases the Lord."

2 Corinthians 13:5
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you fail the test?"

Proverbs 14:15
""The simple man believes every word, but the prudent man watches his steps."

The simple-minded person believes whatever they are told that they like to believe. These are those who love gossip and conspiracies that they cannot prove.
 
Proverbs 4:7
"Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding."

Job 34:4
"Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good."

Isaiah 8:20
"To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn."

May all born-again believers learn to have a skeptical spirit when it comes to what people say. It isn't about distrusting people as much as it is about realizing that everyone comes to the table with their own preconceived ideas that color the way they interpret things.
 
Malachi 3:18
"So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”
