You see, we have been so schooled in our ability to learn with these senses that we have a tendency to lean on them when we don't understand or perceive something. It's almost automatic; born of the desire to know and then be able to explain what we know. Man has an innate ability to comprehend and with that ability also has a desire to tell us what he knows. That type of wisdom is of the world. But there is another type that is born of that same innate ability which shows what he knows by his conduct and life. "We shall know them by their fruit".

The wisdom of the world says fill your head with all types of knowledge and tell everything you know to everybody so they can see and hear how intelligent you are.

The wisdom of God says if you are really wise you will realize how little you do know you won't have anything to boast about.

There is a huge difference between knowing God and knowing "about" God. That difference was spanned by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, knowing Him and meeting Him personally we meet and know God. But we should never mistake the accumulation of knowledge about God with the knowledge of God. One puffs up, the other edifies. You see, with the two kinds of wisdom come two kinds of knowledge.

One is experiential and one is cumulative. One is internal in it's application. One is external in it's application. One is a knowing of the heart. The other is a knowing in the head. You can know all about Jesus and what he has done and still not have met Him, not communed with Him. This kind of knowledge has no power to change you from within. This kind of knowledge is and does no good for the Christian. This kind of knowledge promotes the wisdom of the world. The knowledge of the heart is God breath and inspired. It brings with it all the experience of God Himself in the knowing of Him. This is the kind of knowledge that is revelational, life changing, Christ magnifying stuff.

It's a Language of a different sort and we learn that Language by going there, living there, and staying there. You can't possibly hope to really learn and know the Russian language fluently without going there. You can get pretty close nowadays, but what would the true test be? Go there. See how much of what you have learned is applicable to the people living there. See how much communication you are able to partake of and transmit.

Then there are those people who tell me they want to learn Greek so they can know the original language of the Bible, and thereby "know" God in a deeper way. Man, I really get a kick out of those people, they are my type of people. They show a true desire to know God and a true desire to know the truth. I appreciate that beyond words. Bless their hearts.

O.K., what was the "original" language of the Word? Hebrew? Greek? Aramaic? Syriac? How was the Word communicated to us? God spoke and man wrote it down right? So then what was or rather is the "original" language? Hebrew? No. Greek? And again I say No. God spoke and man wrote it down. Now which is the original? What I am trying to show you is if God first spoke the Word then that is the original right? Well?

Think about it.

The original language is not the human language of the Bible written down by man, but the language of the word first spoken to man by God through the sphere of the spirit. God spoke, man wrote. God spoke first, originally.
