No and anyone who tells you otherwise does not represent your interest with integrity and capable thought processes.

Suppose there is a home that is available now that the person really wants, but they do not have the necessary money immediately, but they are certain they will have the money in 3 months? Why would it be foolish to use a loan from a 401(k) to be able to buy the home they want now instead of waiting 3 months and hoping a home they like as much becomes available?

Every opportunity needs to be analyzed separately to make appropriate decisions. Anytime someone tells you never do something or always do something you should question their advice. And your advice deserves questioning since it deals in absolutes.
