Bible Question: what does it mean when it taking about wisdom and knowledge in 1st Corinthians 12:8 |
Bible Answer: Annet, I keep hitting the wrong button..sorry if you got two short incomplete answers... Stong's Hebrew and Greek exhaustive concordance for around 60.00 tells all the meanings of all words of the Bible, well worth all the money in the world to open your understanding of God's word. Another tool: Ask yourself the who, what, when, where, how, and why questions, then let God's word answer them for you. Example: Who is the source of wisdom? Ex 28:3 God speaking to Moses, instructing him, " you shall speak to all that are wise hearted, whom I (i.e. God himself) have filled with the spirit of wisdom.... This verse alone tells us God is the source of wisdom...and that wisdom is a spirit sent from God into the heart of mankind....but there are numerouse verses that state the same thing concerning God the Father. So we can conclude that God is the Source of all true Godly wisdom. I Cor 1:17,21, 25.. What is the wisdom of God? I Cor 1:24 Christ is the wisdom of God Where is the wisdom of God? It is not in flesh...i.e.mans wisdom...I Cor 2:4 It is in the (Holy)Spirit and of the power of God...I Cor 2:4-5 It is not in the devil...the prince of this world, system of thought, word and deed, influenced by evil, the mode of operation of satan, upon the hearts and minds of mankind II Cor 4:3-4 I Cor 2:8 Eph 2:2 It is not in mankind that has not been regenerated of God,( which is called salvation, being born again)Matt 19:28, Titus 3:5, John 3:17,I Tim 2:4, notice God is not out to save devils but to save mankind, I John 4:14, John 3:3-8 I Cor 2:8 princes of this world (system of thought, word and deeds) also refer to those disconnected from God that are humans and in a flesh body..James 3:14-16..whose source of wisdom is of the world (ie earthly), of the flesh, of the devil.. II Peter 2:10,12 because all that is in the world (-s system of thought, word and deed) is the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, IS NOT of the Father (i.e. God Almighty) but is of the world (-s system of thought, word and deed). I John 2:16 We therefore understand there is wisdom that is produced by the world, the flesh (or people by their own understandings), the devil, and that these kinds of wisdom is flawed and is usually in opposition to and against the wisdom of God. I Cor 1:20-21, Where is the wisdom of God? In the heart, put there by God the Father..Ex 36:2 ..wise hearted...in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom.... God never changes...he is still in the business of putting wisdom into mankinds heart..if they ask, seek and knock....Mal 3:6, Matt 7:7 Anyway, you get the idea... Always In Christ, C.S.M. |
