Bible Question:
What is Wisdom? We have explored "what is truth" Can we say that Jesus Himself is Wisdom? Look at 1 Cor 1:30,31 and then check out Proverb 8:12-36 and Col.1:15,16,17. Do you see a connection between thses verses? Can you add some of your own? |
Bible Answer: Hi KINDNESS, I agree with Steve that we can't deify Wisdom. Not only because she is a woman in Scriptures but because it can not consistently be applied. I see a connection between your reference passages. Especially between Proverb 9:10 and 1 Cor 1:25, and Col 1:17. I also see that "Every word of God is tested;" Proverbs 30:4. "Do not add to His words, Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar." For verse 4 I don't want to suggest adding a word but rather to capitalize one; for surely we now personally know the Son's name. Proverbs 30:2, "Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man. Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One. Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His *Son's name? Surely you know! Every word of God is tested;..." The Son is capitalized in the NKJ So in comparing the Scriptures I see a comparison of "every word of *God is tested" with Proverbs 9:10, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy *One is understanding." Also 1 Cor 1:22-25, "For indeed Jews ask for signs, and Greeks search for widsom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of *God is stronger than men." The * is for comparison in my mind's thought. |
