We are told that the older we get the wiser we get. If that is the case,
sometimes I wonder why I can't find the wisdom I am supposed to have that is
inherent in getting older.
Well, I guess I will
have to take refuge in the fact that "He who holds his tongue is wise" and shut
up.
Then again, not finding the wisdom that
corresponds to my aging to do so, here
goes.
Regarding Spiritual Wisdom, it does not
automatically come by the number of years a person is a believer. If so, there
would not be so many spiritually unwise saints when it comes to living as a
loved child of God and understanding the Grace Gospel of Jesus Christ regarding
God's plan and purpose for the community of the redeemed in the community of
humanity. Neither would there be so many believers judging and condemning
people.
Spiritually wise people would also
understand that the Bible cannot be understood by man's limited reasoning or by
people's religious perceptions, because they will end up interpreting the Bible
based on their religious beliefs instead of allowing it to formulate what they
believe.
Rightly understanding the Bible,
saints would realize that segregation of believers based on Bible interpretation
fosters disunity and is in opposition to the unity that Christ prayed and died
for and they would be more loving, compassionate and
forgiving.
With the correct understanding of
the Bible the hatred, the segregation, the elitism, the religious manipulation
and control of people, spiritual abuse and religious betrayal would be greatly
decreased. The religious powers that have robed us of our freedom in Christ and
fogged our mind and prevented us from knowing our true nature as the community
of the redeemed would end.
Spiritual Wisdom
would cause us to share forgiveness, compassion, love and grace throughout our
realm of influence in the community of humanity affecting it with God's plan and
purpose.
This will not happen through some
religious self-serving means that will serve only to segregate and isolate those
different from .
