Lucifer is what you think he is. If you think he's evil.......he's evil. Same with wise.

Of course, Christians think wisdom equates to evil so there you go.

I applaud you for understanding this high level truth of Christianity. a lot of Christians have not considered this point and I think this is an esoteric truth.

i get this from the Bible; the tree of knowledge imparted understanding to man. that greater understanding of ones nature is what got Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden (and rank disobediance:) ). we werent intended to live independent of God's will, it seems. or another way of looking at it; wisdom makes man lose his savage "grace" and become accountable for his actions, unlike the beasts of the world (whos actions are beyond reproach, we dont get mad at wolves eating sheep)

with that being said, wisdom is the currency we are encouraged to cultivate, as it is the only thing we can take with us to the afterlife. i think this might be where the difference between wisdom and knowledge comes in: wisdom to me is gleaned knowledge with personal schema, whereas knowledge is more the pursuit of information for its own sake. like knowing how to fish, vs knowing the scientific name of the fish you just hooked. similar to the difference between data and information.

Christianity, admittedly, is hard. Shocked

and yes, Mometaskers, oh the irony if this is true, just kills me inside. i kinda get the illumination/revelation symbology that could have prompted this, but its just too movie perfect to be true, LOL.

and we will name the next space shuttle the "albatross" or the "dodo", maybe even the "ostrich" Cheesy

i assumed this thread would be about our current, hyper liberal Pope. was pleasantly surprised
