wisdom are not just knowledgeable in human matters. They are also knowledgeable in spiritual matters and can demonstrate an understanding of God’s written word. From where does wisdom come from? It comes from God. Becoming fully rational about any matter in life is a worthy goal. It is

precisely why the philosopher Paracelsus made the statement: “Men who are devoid of spiritual perception are unable to recognize anything that cannot be seen externally.” Truth and rationalization can be illustrated graphically as shown below. Note that they are inversely proportional to one another.
