Why the hate for wisdom?

[AnthroHeart]

   Biblical writings in 1 Corinthians include, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. . .  And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
   I notice that wisdom is not mentioned in the spiritual gifts listed here.  Probably it is because wisdom is something that comes at a later time.  Love is mentioned as the greatest.

In the Bible, the Lord was pleased when Solomon had asked for Wisdom, not Love.



1 Kings 3

The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” 15Then Solomon awoke—and he realized it had been a dream.
