Where in the Bible does it say that you have to adjust to the level of intelligent?
I think you have the following seemingly-contradictory verses in mind:Proverbs 26:4-5 KJV (v.4) Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.(v.5) Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.Albert Barnes in his "Notes on the Bible" commented that:-]Pro 26:4-5- Two sides of a truth. To "answer a fool according to his folly" is inPro_26:4to bandy words with him, to descend to his level of coarse anger and vile abuse; in Pro_26:5it is to say the right word at the right time, to expose his unwisdom and untruth to others and to himself, not by a teaching beyond his reach, but by words that he is just able to apprehend.The NET Bible "Notes on Proverbs 26:4-5" state that: One should not answer a fool's foolish questions in line with the fool's mode of reasoning.... The person who descends to the level of a fool to argue with him only looks like a fool as well...... One should not lower himself to the level of the fool, but there are times when the lesser of two evils is to do so, other than let the fool gain confidence that he is a wise person or be considered wise by others. Paul, for example, talked like a "fool" to correct the foolish ideas of the Corinthians (2 Cor 11:16-17; 12:11).However, in this particular case a paraphrase renders the meaning more clearly than a literal translation:Proverbs 26:4-5 MESSAGE (v.4) Don't respond to the stupidity of a fool; you'll only look foolish yourself.(v.5) Answer a fool in simple terms so he doesn't get a swelled head.
