A Gangster Nation Without Wisdom
It is significant as it may to pointed out that the bible gives us a spiritual blue-print that is impenetrable and impeccable if we only postulate that the examples of spiritual workers in the past understood that the beginning of knowledge was not just some mysterious innate gifts that gave us the ability to make intelligent decisions. For the most part our spiritual journeys are where from our experiences (personal knowledge) we become more systematic as to how to deepen our theocratic (divinely officials for God) knowledge while on earth when we engage as students of God in the process of in-depth studying of the bible (biblical knowledge) and interchange with spiritual gurus (distinguish biblical teachers) so that we obtain the wisdom necessary to be excellent stewards for the spiritual work needed to bring the spiritual sick into God's fold.
