    As you wish ... Sefaria proposes: "With all your acquisitions, acquire discernment." [emphasis added - JS] I would suggest that discernment emphasizes the ability to analyze, and I suspect that this is part of what Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. had in mind when he wrote: There is nothing...

    Not sure about accurately answering that question. I do think that intelligence alone can fall short, as it must be balanced with wisdom and knowledge… Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get-understanding. Proverbs 4:7 The fear of the Lord is the...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    In the Gospel of Thomas it's two ears or two good ears. "These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded." Didymus and Thomas both mean twin, i.e "twin-twin". Then there are the two fates of Judas. Understanding the kingdom involves understanding the...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    Daniel 12:10 is with respect to the "wicked" will have no understanding. As for the gospel of the "kingdom" (Mt 13:10-14) those without ears to hear, the wicked, will not "understand". As for "knowledge", without "understanding", it is kind of lame. People can memorize the bible and have great...

    Do You Agree?

    Wow! Where to begin…? To be clear; I am not at this point in time necessarily laying the blame on any particular officer(s), further detailed investigations will determine that. There is already enough evidence however that comand and control in this situation royally screwed the pooch! “Three...

    Do You Agree?

    First I want to apologize for the words I used in post #15. I should have kept that to myself, considering that when it comes to children, emotions can run high... not saying I don't have those. I'm sorry I wasn't sensitive to that. I didn't even plan on getting in a dispute, but just exchange...

    I got into a fight with my dad about the bible

    I see wisdom is required, no person can judge anothers Faith in God. Proverbs 4:7 "The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding". Also no one knows another heart and how they see God, these passages gives humility to a son; Job 12:12 "Is not...

    COL 2:16 And The Sabbath - Are You Being Told The Truth?

    Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. (Luke 6:21) Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. (Luke 6:25) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after...

    Should I Read The Bible?

    That is true and I believe we must use that gift of critical thinking and discernment. In Proverbs 4:7 it states that Wisdom is the principle thing, get wisdom. So this tells me to seek wisdom from God first and foremost.

    Satan and the new age

    God did not make people ignorant. In fact the scriptures stress the importance of seeking wisdom. The problem occurs when humans seek false or inaccurate "wisdom" apart from or lies which appear as wisdom, but are not the true wisdom of the Creator God who alone has truth and complete wisdom...

    "Do Not Prattle About God"

    “Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get Wisdom : and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt Her, and She shall promote thee : She shall bring thee to Honour, when thou dost embrace Her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace : a crown of glory shall She deliver to thee.”...

    What is Wrong With Jews Who Repeatedly Post the Most Hateful Propaganda Towards Muslims?

    “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather Her brood under Her wings, and ye would not! † Behold, your house is left unto you desolate : and verily I say unto you, Ye...

    Any tips for Bible Study?

    (quote) Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom; and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding. " "Wisdom is the most important thing, so acquire wisdom. And with all you acquire, acquire understanding" either of these lends a better understanding of what is being said...

    Any tips for Bible Study?

    This is true of course, but I think there also needs to be preliminary investigation first. Getting familiar with the 'language' of the Bible, its different genres etc., which are used to convey the author's point.

    Any tips for Bible Study?

    First of all, it is essential to pray for guidance. You may be surprised at the answer. Proverbs 4:7 - "The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding."

    We're all (mostly) dogmatic... Only few admit it while others call it faith or science.

    Repeating someone else's words isn't wisdom, wisdom can only come from within each one of us, the words can only point to what they mean.

    We're all (mostly) dogmatic... Only few admit it while others call it faith or science.

    Part of that true internal wisdom is this: that if someone has said something perfectly, one need not attempt to improve upon it. It's perfectly OK to quote someone who expresses a thought better than one can oneself. “People who count their chickens before they are hatched act very wisely...

    Can we live without sin?

    Part 3 Some quote 1 Kings 8:46: “When they sin against You – for there is no one who does not sin – and You become enraged with them an give them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near” This verse is a hyperbole. Solomon was saying that none of the...

    Restriction

    You're claiming that we can't use knowledge without the creator, yet no knowledge so much as hints at the existence of your god. That's paradoxical, how do you account for that?
