Bible Question: 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 |
Bible Answer: 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 |
