In the context of the Bible, fables are distinct from parables, which are more common in Scripture and often involve human characters to illustrate spiritual truths. Fables, while not a central literary form in the Bible, are mentioned and serve as a point of contrast to the truth of God's Word.<br><br><b>Biblical References to Fables</b><br><br>The term "fable" appears in the New Testament, particularly in the pastoral epistles, where it is used to caution against false teachings and myths that deviate from the truth of the Gospel. The Apostle Paul warns Timothy and Titus about the dangers of fables:<br><br>1. <b><a href="/1_timothy/1-4.htm">1 Timothy 1:4</a> :</b> "or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith."<br> <br>2. <b><a href="/1_timothy/4-7.htm">1 Timothy 4:7</a> :</b> "But reject irreverent and silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness."<br><br>3. <b><a href="/2_timothy/4-4.htm">2 Timothy 4:4</a> :</b> "So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."<br><br>4. <b><a href="/titus/1-14.htm">Titus 1:14</a> :</b> "and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth."<br><br>In these passages, "fables" or "myths" are associated with false teachings that distract believers from the core message of the Gospel. Paul emphasizes the importance of adhering to sound doctrine and warns against being led astray by fanciful accounts that lack a foundation in truth.<br><br><b>Fables in Contrast to Parables</b><br><br>While fables are mentioned in a negative light, parables are a significant teaching tool used by Jesus throughout the Gospels. Parables are earthly accounts with heavenly meanings, designed to reveal truths about the Kingdom of God. Unlike fables, which often involve animals and convey moral lessons, parables are rooted in real-life scenarios and are intended to illuminate spiritual realities.<br><br><b>The Role of Fables in Ancient Culture</b><br><br>In the ancient world, fables were a common form of storytelling, often used to impart wisdom and moral lessons. Aesop's Fables, for example, are well-known accounts from antiquity that use animals to teach ethical principles. While these accounts have value in a cultural and educational context, the biblical authors caution against allowing such tales to overshadow or replace the divine truths revealed in Scripture.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the warnings against fables underscore the importance of discernment and fidelity to the truth of God's Word. Believers are encouraged to ground their faith in the teachings of Scripture, which are inspired by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (<a href="/2_timothy/3-16.htm">2 Timothy 3:16</a>). The emphasis is on the transformative power of the Gospel, which stands in contrast to the speculative and often misleading nature of fables.<br><br>In summary, while fables are acknowledged in the Bible, they are primarily referenced as a caution against false teachings and distractions from the truth. The focus for believers is to remain steadfast in the teachings of Scripture, which provide the foundation for a life of faith and godliness.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Fable</span><p>A fable is a narrative in which being irrational, and sometimes inanimate, are, for the purpose of moral instruction, feigned to act and speak with human interests and passions. --Encyc. Brit. The fable differs from the parable in that -- <ol> <li>The parable always relates what actually takes place, and is true to fact, which the fable is not; and</li> <li>The parable teaches the higher heavenly and spiritual truths, but the fable only earthly moralities. Of the fable, as distinguished from the parable [<a href="../p/parable.htm">PARABLE</a>], we have but two examples in the Bible:</li> <li>That of the trees choosing their king, addressed by Jotham to the men of Shechem, (<a href="/judges/9-8.htm">Judges 9:8-15</a>)</li> <li>That of the cedar of Lebanon and the thistle, as the answer of Jehoash to the challenge of Amaziah. (<a href="/2_kings/14-9.htm">2 Kings 14:9</a>) The fables of false teachers claiming to belong to the Christian Church, alluded to by writers of the New Testament, (<a href="/1_timothy/1-4.htm">1 Timothy 1:4</a>; <a href="/1_timothy/4-7.htm">4:7</a>; <a href="/titus/1-14.htm">Titus 1:14</a>; <a href="/2_peter/1-16.htm">2 Peter 1:16</a>) do not appear to have had the character of fables, properly so called.</li> </ol><a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Fable</span><p>An idle, groundless, and worthless story, like the mythological legends of the heathen and the vain traditions of the Jews.

In such passages the word means anything false and unreal. But the word is used as almost equivalent to parable. Thus we have (1) the fable of Jotham, in which the trees are spoken of as choosing a king (<a href="/judges/9-8.htm">Judges 9:8</a>-15); and (2) that of the cedars of Lebanon and the thistle as Jehoash's answer to Amaziah (<a href="/2_kings/14-9.htm">2 Kings 14:9</a>). <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Consequently in his stories, beasts, trees, rocks, etc., think, talk and act exactly as if they were human beings. Of course, but little advance in knowledge was needed to put an end to this mode of thought, but the form of story-telling developed by it persisted and is found in the folk-tales of all nations. More particularly, the archaic form of story was used for the purpose of moral instruction, and when so used is termed the fable. Modern definitions distinguish it from the parable<br><br>(a) by its use of characters of lower intelligence than man (although reasoning and speaking like men), and<br><br>(b) by its lesson for this life only. But, while these distinctions serve some practical purpose in distinguishing (say) the fables of Aesop from the parables of Christ, they are of little value to the student of folk-lore. For fable, parable, allegory, etc., are all evolutions from a common stock, and they tend to blend with each other.<br><br>See <a href="../a/allegory.htm">ALLEGORY</a>; <a href="../p/parable.htm">PARABLE</a>.<br><br>(2) The Semitic mind is peculiarly prone to allegorical expression, and a modern Arabian storyteller will invent a fable or a parable as readily as he will talk. And we may be entirely certain that the very scanty appearance of fables in the Old Testament is due only to the character of its material and not at all to an absence of fables from the mouths of the Jews of old. Only two examples have reached us. In <a href="/judges/9-7.htm">Judges 9:7-15</a> Jotham mocks the choice of AbimeItch as king with the fable of the trees that could find no tree that would accept the trouble of the kingship except the worthless bramble. And in <a href="/2_kings/14-9.htm">2 Kings 14:9</a> Jehoash ridicules the pretensions of Amaziah with the story of the thistle that wished to make a royal alliance with the cedar. Yet that the distinction between fable and allegory, etc., is artificial is seen in <a href="/isaiah/5-1.htm">Isaiah 5:1, 2</a>, where the vineyard is assumed to possess a deliberate will to be perverse.<br><br>(3) In the New Testament, "fable" is found in <a href="/1_timothy/1-4.htm">1 Timothy 1:4</a>; <a href="/1_timothy/4-7.htm">1 Timothy 4:7</a> <a href="/2_timothy/4-4.htm">2 Timothy 4:4</a>; <a href="/titus/1-14.htm">Titus 1:14</a> <a href="/2_peter/1-16.htm">2 Peter 1:16</a>, as the translation of muthos ("myth"). The sense here differs entirely from that discussed above, and "fable" means a (religious) story that has no connection with reality-contrasted with the knowledge of an eyewitness in <a href="/2_peter/1-16.htm">2 Peter 1:16</a>. The exact nature of these "fables" is of course something out of our knowledge, but the mention in connection with them of "endless genealogies" in <a href="/1_timothy/1-4.htm">1 Timothy 1:4</a> points with high probability to some form of Gnostic speculation that interposed a chain of eons between God and the world. In some of the Gnostic systems that we know, these chains are described with a prolixity so interminable (the Pistis Sophia is the best example) as to justify well the phrase "old wives' fables" in <a href="/1_timothy/4-7.htm">1 Timothy 4:7</a>. But that these passages have Gnostic reference need not tell against the Pauline authorship of the Pastorals, as a fairly well developed "Gnosticism" is recognizable in a passage as early as <a href="/nasb/colossians/2.htm">Colossians 2</a>, and as the description of the fables as Jewish in <a href="/titus/1-14.htm">Titus 1:14</a> (compare <a href="/titus/3-9.htm">Titus 3:9</a>) is against 2nd-century references. But for details the commentaries on the Pastoral Epistles must be consulted. It is worth noting that in <a href="/2_timothy/4-4.htm">2 Timothy 4:4</a> the adoption of these fables is said to be the result of dabbling in the dubious. This manner of losing one's hold on reality is, unfortunately, something not confined to the apostolic age.<br><br>Burton Scott Easton<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3454.htm"><span class="l">3454. muthos -- a speech, story, ie a <b>fable</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> a speech, story, ie a <b>fable</b>.
