Episode Summary
In this episode, Pastor Earl Wallace explores the contrast between the teachings of wisdom from a biblical perspective and eastern philosophies. He explains how worldly views often portray wisdom as mystical, hidden, and hard to comprehend, as evidenced by a quotation he shares from a Buddhist yoga practitioner and blogger.
On the other hand, he underscores the bible's teaching that wisdom, as per Proverbs 120 and 81, is openly shared by God to those who submit to Him.
Pastor Wallace expresses concern about an ideology prevalent in the American education system: a belief that knowledge binds us to erroneous concretes, inhibiting the understanding of universal truth. He cites an example where an educational consultant posits challenging the accepted truth of 'two plus two equals four' as thinking outside the box.
Relating this to mathematical consistency in fields such as engineering and science, Pastor Wallace argues that knowledge is an understanding of how things function, and wisdom is the application of this understanding. To illustrate his point further, he mentions Albert Einstein, who didn't invent the elements of E=MC² but perceived the relation of pre-existing elements in reality to define energy.
Pastor Earl concludes by emphasizing that true wisdom in biblical Christianity comes from knowing a personal God and learning from Him. This wisdom is practical and reflective of the rational universe created by God. Walking in God's wisdom sets us free from incoherent philosophies and paves a path towards liberty.
