Bible Note: Hi jlpangilinan, I think that you need to discern wisdom and who she is in Proverbs. These verses are not talking about Deity as in Wisdom, but rather the wisdom of an understanding heart. Notice the lower case "me" in Proverbs 8:22. "The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before (His) works of old." The capitalized pronouns start in verse 26, "While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world. When He established the heavens, I [wisdom] was there..." Proverbs 9:9, "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man, and he will increase his learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." In the past I have compared this passage in Proverbs 8:13 with John 14:21 where Jesus discloses *Himself [true Wisdom in a sense]to the disciples. John 14:21, "He who has (My) commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will disclose *Myself to him." And John 14:22, "Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that (You) are going to disclose Yourself to us, and not to the world?" It is true that the wisdom of Proverbs is not of the world, but she is not Deity. From the heart, Ray |
