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 agree. Children obtain the example from their elders around them. Teaching what God created us to love will help shape and guide them for the rest of their lives.
-
I agree that wisdom is infinitely tied into God and the Christian faith. The Bible is clear in Proverbs that wisdom is a blessing and that those who shy away from it will not see God’s blessings. Instead, woe will come to them. As a Christian and a teacher, following God’s path of wisdom allows me to teach effectively, and as result be a minister of the Lord’s love.
-
I agree. When it comes to following God, Jesus, and the Bible, a person is either all in or all out. There is no in between. To a non-believer, the wisdom of God is futile. To a believer, the wisdom of God is truth and what we ought to strive for.
-
Agree! Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Psalm 111 makes it clear that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I believe that only Christianity can adequately answer philosophies most profound questions. Without a reverence for God, there can be no true wisdom.

As a Christian educator, I agree with the lecturer’s statement. True wisdom is intrinsically linked to a relationship with God, as Scripture teaches. Our faith allows us to appreciate wisdom intellectually and as a means to draw closer to our Creator. Loving wisdom, “as God created us to love,” implies a deep, passionate commitment to seeking truth and understanding. While non-believers may value knowledge, they cannot fully grasp wisdom in its God-intended form. The believer’s perspective on wisdom is holistic, encompassing intellectual, spiritual, and moral development. This view reflects the biblical understanding of wisdom as inseparable from faith and our relationship with God.
