Intellect is a neutral resource. It does not equate to wisdom or righteousness.

Intellect is a neutral resource. It does not equate to wisdom or righteousness.

I would argue that you cannot disconnect wisdom from Intellect.

Is the individual who turns down an eternity in Heaven because they are selfish and would prefer to live their 90 or so years here on earth for themselves not lacking in intellect, and wisdom?

Logically, the two are connected.

In other words, intellect being the capacity, basically to learn, is it not true that when given facts, proof, and a path to Heaven that someone who willfully chooses Hell over Heaven is lacking the capacity to learn, even if it is a choice?

Another way to look at it is, sometimes people just choose to be stupid, to be ignorant, because it is easier.

There are numerous examples of individuals possessing great intellect demonstrating a serious lack of wisdom. There are also plenty of wise individuals not attributed with an average nor extraordinary intellect.
