I am reminded today that we have two types of Wisdom; Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom and it doesn't matter how educated one is, it doesn't matter what political party you belong to, what race you are or what religion you subscribe to. You either live your life on principles drawn from these two sources of knowledge. I don't believe in the existence of anyone called an atheist because there is nothing like that anywhere. I believe in all human beings being equal and that all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God.
In most systems of life, there are always two opposing sides, even in the so called democracy. This dichotomy is unlike the two poles of a magnet because the magnet does not have distinct north or south particles on opposing sides.A simple experiment can show that If a bar magnet is broken into two pieces, in an attempt to separate the north and south poles, the result will be two bar magnets, each of which has both a north and south pole.
The replete dichotomy I am talking about here is that which by nature is opposed to the other no matter what happens the two shall never become one. In the gospels Matthew 6:24 records that “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot belong to two opposing sides at the same time.This vivid picture of the dichotomy of wisdom is well described in the Holy Bible and to an extend in the Noble Qur'aan represented by what we all know as holy and evil. God is Holy and satan is evil through and through.
Therefore from the above scriptural testimony, the dichotomy of wisdom spoken about in the Bible is that which refers to a "partition of a whole (or a set) into two parts (subsets) that are: jointly exhaustive: everything must belong to one part or the other, and. mutually exclusive: nothing can belong simultaneously to both parts. That is why James 3:13 asks us "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. Heavenly Wisdom is wrought in us by the Holy Spirit. A mature Christian lends himself/herself to the Holy Spirits workshop to be worked on like crashed car is worked on with a pannel beater or a bar of iron is produced or shaped by beating with a hammer. So the world of wisdom as we know it today is divided into two distinct parts: Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
