Christian Learning Center Forums The lecturer states she “would contend that only a believer is able to truly love wisdom as God created us to love.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

    I would agree with not only are believers able to love wisdom but we are the only ones able to have true wisdom because we are able to fear the Lord (Proverbs 9:10).

    Wisdom begins with the fear of God, as it says in Proverbs 1. If we start on another foundation rather than God, we are bound to have at least some serious misunderstandings about reality.

    I agree because I think an unbeliever has a drastically different view of what wisdom is.

    I agree. God created us in his image and we must firmly maintain that as believers we must pass the wisdom of love to everyone around us.

    Wisdom is the discovery of truths in God’s kingdom, so yes. However, I would argue that too many believers stop short of exploring their faith with abandon. They are risk adverse and want to stick with what they know/can predict. Ultimately, God’s truth is greater than all, and so there’s nothing to be afraid of … but I would say that many Christians I know aren’t courageous enough to ask hard questions, they play it safe.

    I agree with the lecturer. When you use a concordance to search up wisdom, true wisdom only comes from the Lord, so to pursue that wisdom as James recommends is to go after the ‘pearl’ that is worth everything. Godly wisdom is only available to the believer because only the believer understands that it exists. This would be foundational to a Christian theory of knowledge.
