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 with the fact that true wisdom only comes from God. We can be smart, have sense of things but God can also give us his wisdom, which is a way to even sometimes operate as we knew what would come next. this could also be tied into revelation that can only come from His Holy Spirit.

As a believer we are able to search for wisdom in a different way. The secular world looks into themselves or relies on the teaching of other. As a believer, we have the benefit of countless biblical teachings to guide us in wisdom. We can look to someone other than ourselves who we know beyond a shadow of a doubt possesses more wisdom than we could ever fathom. I believe anyone can love wisdom and seek wisdom but a believer has access to a deep well of wisdom that is poured out to us through teachings in the Bible that can challenge our conventional biases and misunderstandings in a way a secular scholar never would be able to navigate. Many secular people want to “love” others in a way that does not show love. We know from the Bible how to love and what it means to our relationships. This view of love is not possible on our own but only through His wisdom He has passed down to us.

I do agree, I believe becoming a Christian, God’s Holy Spirit gave to us a desire to seek his wisdom to be closer to him, to guide and direct us in everything.
-
Yes, I agree. Without knowledge of God and His love for us we cannot truly understand the wisdom of God.
-
I agree. Since believers know the author and creator of wisdom personally, they can then truly appreciate and love that wisdom. The connection with the Creator makes it more dear.
