Proverbs 14
12 There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.

heh heh. Yes it is very true. I am not sure how many people can see it though.
May GOD richly bless you

Yes. And here is what this verse means: The "way which seems right" may offer many options and require few sacrifices. Easy choices, however, should make us take a second look. Is this solution attractive because it allows me to be lazy? Because it doesn't ask me to change my life-style? Because it requires no moral restraints? The right choice often requires hard work and sel-sacrifice. Don't be enticed by apparent shortcuts that seem right but end up in death.

the Bible says many interesting and wise things, i am not Christian and do not take the Bible as sacred or the truth, however this verse is quite interesting. We all follow different paths, looking for happiness but in the end nothing remains, just perhaps our faith if there is another life.

Yes. Most people think they can get to heaven by good works. Some people think there is no heaven or hell. That seems right to them. Only by believing in God and His son, can one ever have eternal life. The others believing in "what seems right to them is eternal death." Death meaning hell.

Logically, there can be a way that seems right to man but leads to death.
Too, this doesn't preclude the possibility of a way that seems right to man, but doesn't lead to death.
Logically analyzed all it says is that we can make bad choices.

Yes it is. All its saying..is that you can live your whole life doing what you think is right...and you will still die. Everyone dies....regardless of what kind of life they led...you see?
Its also saying that everyone is judged the same into death. So no one is regarded more significant than the next person. Hope this helps you.

A "proverb" is neither true nor false -- it's a witty saying meant to illustrate a point.
"The earth is round" can be judged true or false by examing evidence.
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", another proverb like the one you posted, can't -- it's a proverb, not a statement of fact that is testable.

Yes, our ways lead us to death.

This is so true!again,broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life.
this is all around us.look around you and tell me who ignores this most?the broadway is very easy to follow and has mass congregation,but the narrow way is hard,you will want to quit immediately,but it is the road that leads to eternal life!

The message of that Scripture is that when we turn from the mandates of God's Word, and do our own will, or invent other paths to God except through Jesus Christ, God's Son, we will pay the penalty of our sins our self in Hell, rather than having them forgiven through Christ's atoning sacrifice.
