    Does Anything Compare to Wisdom?

    True, Jason. So do you suppose godly wisdom is uncommon or divine knowledge? And what about love? Is there a common kind as well as a divine kind?

    Does Anything Compare to Wisdom?

    Wisely said, JLB! Now, what does this insight tell you about love and wisdom? Is one greater than the other?

    Does Anything Compare to Wisdom?

    Indeed! And is God's wisdom, perhaps an uncommon, or rare, or divine knowledge? Or is it uncommon, or rare, or divine action? Consider this example: Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this: That he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) So when John saw Jesus suffering...

    Does Anything Compare to Wisdom?

    Good talking with you again, my virtual friend! :) Trying to wrap my head around what you said. Isn't the application of knowledge what one does, but not what one knows? Consider this example: There is common knowledge that if one's clothes catch fire, she should stop, drop and roll to...

    Does Anything Compare to Wisdom?

    Thanks, Reba. I ask because I wonder. You see, I desire God's love. But Solomon says: [Wisdom] is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 3:15) Does this mean God's love does not even compare to godly wisdom?

    Does Anything Compare to Wisdom?

    13 Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, 14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 3) I wonder about these wise words of Solomon. Is it really...

    I'd like to see someone create a biblical game set during the Old Testament. Lots of epic battles! You could play tactical and command the armies of Israel, or first person and be a warrior like David or a prophet like Elijah, calling down fiery artillery from the heavens. :thumbsup Hey, it...

    I've played Borderlands 2, some. Liked the armed vehicles. Hated the story line and graphics. You might like Fallout New Vegas. It has a good variety of guns, and other weapons, good graphics and story line. Excellent AI, with many side quests. The choices the player makes determines the...

    It's possible you have too many programs running at once taking up resources. Also programs that crash can prevent memory from being freed up so that it's not available until the computer restarts. Before playing a game, try restarting your computer and then closing any programs that you don't...

    Gaming

    Story line is interesting. You can play as a Jedi or Sith, and you can play player vs player, if you choose. Combat is all point and click, but if you choose a character that is focused more on the force than the light saber, there are several good options available to make for more variety...

    Gaming

    If your computer came with Windows 7 or 8, you should be OK for both games. They automatically set the graphics to work with your computer's graphics card. With Skyrim, you can also manually set the game's graphics to the lowest setting. Has some drawbacks, as some things (like the webs of...

    Yes, the graphics of Elder Scrolls V are phenomenally realistic, and the AI and vast number of NPCs and side quests make for many hours of entertaining play. Haven't tried Battlefield 3. Have enjoyed playing Black Ops and Black Ops II multi-player. Another multi-player game I'm currently...

    Do you have a personal favorite game, Skillet? I guess mine was Skyrim.

    Is Love Really the Greatest?

    Yes, knowing what loving acts one should do is not the same as doing them. I think you are also correct that love is something one thinks, insofar as love is, at least in part a feeling, and feelings themselves are thoughts. But what I'm asking is not whether love is something we do, or love is...

    Is Love Really the Greatest?

    And do decisions produce actions? That is, are the things I do the result of the decisions I make?

    Is Love Really the Greatest?

    What about knowing God? Isn't that a great thing as well, my dear Maedchen? What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:8)

    Is Love Really the Greatest?

    What about hope, iLove? Isn't hope a kind of confidence, too? And if so, how does it differ from the other confidence in God called faith?

    Is Love Really the Greatest?

    Thanks. So, given these definitions, would you say that wisdom is that part of us that knows the truth, but does not necessarily live the truth (for people like Solomon and Peter knew the truth but did not live it, at least not all of the time). Love, however lives the truth, but (according to...

    Is Love Really the Greatest?

    Amen. I think, maybe there are two ways to know God. One is to better understand him (who he is, what he is like, what he desires) and the other is to love him (to desire to be closer to him). Do you think this is not far from the truth?
