 Who are the wise and who are the leaders?
The Bible says that Jesus was considered wise by the teachers because He made knowledge practical.
Philosophers and others so called lovers of wisdom do not seek the truth but only speak arrogance. I do not deny that they were not wise, however they were only wise in their own eyes and not in the eyes of the people. This is why most philosophers were rejected and segregated by the people. Leaders however made their knowledge practical so the people wanted to practice it. They left the people full of hope and giving purpose to their lives not leaving them hopeless with only questions so they can spend their entire life questioning what some arrogant priss said. They say that "christianity" is too simple well you weren't meant to live your life questioning whether you were really living your life but to enjoy the fruit of your labor and know your Creator. As for me, Christianity, not the religion but the relationship I hold with my Father God, answers every question that could ever meet me so I will live my life in Him. Should I doubt or question He will answer as I keep my trust in Him. But why don't the people complain about the gods or goddesses for the condition of man, because the people know that theya re not leaders just arrogants who wish to lead people to a long life of emptiness and questions and doubts. God is the hidden truth behind it all and the fruit that the truth bears is Jesus Christ.
