You don't need personal experience on something in order to speak on it. Paul was unmarried and he spoke on marriage a lot.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) March 11, 2017
Do you need to sell dope to know it's wrong? No. Do you need to be on drugs to know it's bad? No. Do you need to be married in order to know what it's like? NO. Last question: Do you need to touch a stove to know it's hot? NO. So why do some people feel you need personal experience on something to speak on it? That's crazy because people could be discounting valuable advice from someone who's never been through it because they aren't in their shoes. Some stuff you need experience for, others you don't, so let's cut the crap and stop discounting others' views just because they haven't experienced what you have. In the Bible, Paul was unmarried but he spoke on marriage a lot. By today's standards, Paul wouldn't be qualified to speak on marriage since he's never been married. Wisdom can come from anyone, regardless of whether they have personal experience.
