1 | Gift of Wisdom and gift of Knowledge? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 203931 | ||
What is the Spirit of Wisdom and is it a gift? And what is the gift of knowledge? I Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit. Are we to think that the word of wisdom is the gift of prophecy in the list in 12:28 and are we to think that the word of knowledge is also the gift of prophecy? Agape, Tamara | ||||||

Hi Tamara: Knowledge: is the accumulation of facts or truths acquired by sight, hearing, or experience. Wisdom: is the common sense, or insightful use of such knowledge. No, they are not the same thing. Are they gifts? The Bible lists them as gifts. When something is given, then, by definition, it is a gift. Keep it simple my dear, Sister, it's not that complicated. :-) God bless John |

Thanks John, you got me to thinking about Exodus 28:3 where people were given the spirit of God to do craftsmanship for the making of the tabernacle. And Ephesians 1:17 where it says, that the God or our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of the revelation in the knowledge of Him. But what confused me John was how Paul talks in I Corinthians 2:1-8 that the wisdom of God is Jesus Christ and His crucifixion, not the wisdom gained from knowledge and wondered if that had any bearing on the gift of wisdom? I should have mentioned that in my first go at it. But thanks a bunch, God Bless Tamara | ||||||

Hi Tamara: You are welcome "a bunch" :-) and a belated warm welcome to the forum! Ah, I see where you are, (I think) what I covered in my previous post of course was wisdom and knowledge as is listed as gifts of the spirit. But, in, (I Cor 2:1-8) I would suppose, Paul means that God Himself has the wisdom to know that we have nothing in us to pull ourselves up and out of the mire of sin, so, Jesus Christ, and Him crucified, is our only answer and hope for salvation. also I would say, the wisdom of God, as I take it, is, in His plain for us to know Jesus is the one and only way for us to "really" know God, and to know how wonderful and loving He really is. I don't really know if one would have any bearing on the other, but I suppose they do. The wisdom of God, in (1Cor 2) to me however, is, Divine Wisdom, indeed: What a wonderful kind and gracious God we have in Jesus Christ, our Lord and master! Just my two cents. :-) God bless John |
