The wise man has experienced so much, and in all his life he had never seen a god, however he has not lived forever.\n\nThe intelligent man can not logically prove that a god exists nor can he dispove the existence of a god.\n\nThe insightful man would ask, "there must be a greater purpose for everything, but I can't say what."\n\nThey would all answer... and rightfully so.\n\n"I don't know."\n\nBecause it takes an wise, intelligent, and/or insightful man to admit... He doesn't know.

They are both intelligent, but in different ways. This is a values question, not an intellegence one. A person can be a genius in science and not have a clue about asthetics, or music or literarture. The same can be true of the arts student, who can be a creative genius, but finds math difficult. These areas of study use different parts of the brain, and most people are stronger in some areas than others. It is a disservice to tell bright children that they can be anything they want to be-it would be better to tell them to find out what they are best at, and give them the resources to run with it. It is a mistake to value science over the arts, or vice versa- we need them both.

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.  Proverbs 15:2

It means a wise man will "take heed of other people's errors", thereby not making them himself.

Every human person is endowed with a spiritual soul, with intellect and with free will. Man is rational and therefore like God; he is created with free will and is master over his acts. \n\nGod created man in his image and established him in his friendship. A spiritual creature, man can live this friendship only in free submission to God. The prohibition against eating "of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" spells this out: "for in the day that you eat of it, you shall die." The "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" symbolically evokes the insurmountable limits that man, being a creature, must freely recognize and respect with trust. Man is dependent on his Creator, and subject to the laws of creation and to the moral norms that govern the use of freedom. \n\nAlthough set by God in a state of rectitude man, enticed by the evil one, abused his freedom at the very start of history. Man, tempted by the devil, let his trust in his Creator die in his heart and, abusing his freedom, disobeyed God's command. He lifted himself up against God, and sought to attain his goal apart from him. By his sin Adam, as the first man, lost the original holiness and justice he had received from God, not only for himself but for all human beings.

In order to answer this question it will be helpful to identify the wise men\nas A, B and C.  Let's say person A got the right answer.  Here's\nwhat person A did:\n\nPerson A saw that B and C both had dots.  A put himself in B's\nsituation.  Assuming A did not have a dot, then B would see one dot on C\nand none on A.  Person B would then think, "if I had no dot, then C would\nsee no dots and know that C had the only dot, and C would be able to answer\nimmediately.  However, since C does not answer, I must have a dot."\nHowever, A sees that B doesn't answer, which means A must also have a dot,\nso A goes to the king and declares victory.

its the macho stuff.  they want to show how independent they are and how they can work on you. Guys never learn smart people have more respect for those that show respect than smart a--es.

There is not more of one than the other they are balanced.  Evil is more noticeable. Those who do evil are always more out there than those that do good.  Those who do Good have no need to be noticed

It is a human tendency to think that one who does not see things as you do is just stupid.  Sometimes people who are dominated by their left brain are very one-sided in their thinking.  Their brain tells them that there is logic and reason to support a particular theory, and it closes off to any other viewpoint.  People argue at cross-purposes to each other, because they are thinking in 2 completely different ways.  They talk past each other from different paradigms, and it seems so senseless.  \n\nEach person seems the biggest dummy to the other.  One has not refuted his fellow until he has refuted him from within his own paradigm.

Proverbs 8:22-31 is purely about wisdom.\nIt has nothing to do with jebus.\nAnd by knowing this, this shows what John 1:1 is about - wisdom, not about some guy being born.

It's what a person does with their knowledge that makes them wise (or unwise). <*)))><

You are stating to opposite thoughts then using one to negate the other.  It is nonsense.  I answered a question a while back that was the following:\n\nQ. Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb. True or False?\n\nA. You are associating with Evil = Not Good. Because of the religious connotation you are inferring that good = religious. Since you also equated good = dumb, then by the transitive property of equality, religious = dumb.

The wise man would be Karl Marx.

Okay, this is just my theory.  I cannot prove this and I have nothing of substance to back it up with except observation.\n\nIf we are all made in the image of God (which I believe), and yet we all have different personalities (16 or so, depending on whose inventories you use), where did all the personalities come from?\n\nSome people might say sin or influence, but not all differences can be attributed to sin.  Two different people can see the same thing differently and not be wrong, because it's not a matter of right or wrong.  \n\nWhat I believe is that every strength of each personality type coexists peacefully in God.  Unity in the church or marriage or family is all about bringing ourselves individually under His headship because only in Him can we peacefully coexist.\n\nI think that part of what people consider contradictions in the Bible are actually specifications.\n\nWhen you have two things that are Biblically based, but polar opposite, I think we have to consider that they are written for two polar opposite attitudes of heart.\n\nWe tend to think that if something is wrong, then what we need to do is the opposite thing. But what if that's not true? What if we just need to reign ourselves in a little, not go drastically the other direction?\n\nThe preacher in our congregation when I was growing up used to say, "In order to give someone directions, you have to know two things: where they are and where they want to go."\n\nHis point was that sometimes what people need to do depends on where they start. For example:\n\nDo not answer a fool according to his folly,\nLest you also be like him.\nAnswer a fool according to his folly,\nLest he be wise in his own eyes. Proverbs 26:4-5\n\nHow can they both be true, and how do you decide whether or not to answer?\n\nI think if I have a tendency to be rash in my answers, I'd better take verse 4 to heart. If I answer what I believe to be a foolish remark, I'm probably only going to show myself to be a fool.\n\nIf I have a tendency not to confront foolish talk because I am shy or insecure, every fool and his brother is going to feel compelled to give me advice because they take my silence as interest or approval. So verse 5 applies to me.\n\nWhat if we cannot align our strengths because our weaknesses cause us to clash?  If God can perfectly unite those attributes within Himself, could He not also unite us in Himself?\n\nIn the end, each person has to do what they believe to be the correct thing and trust that God will bring about resolution. If we submit to Him, He will bring us into agreement with each other. If we care more about being right in an argument than we care about being righteous before God, we have little hope of unity.
