I agree, more or less. I’m DONE with “Christian schizophrenia”, though. Scripture is replete with medicine for every ill. Depending on the patient, some might taste good and some might taste of death.

Lady Wisdom offers her treasure to “the simple” and offers to pour out her spirit to the one who turns at her reproof. THEN she threatens to hide from the one who rejects her, even laughing at their calamity.

Did I make that up? She wants the fool to eat and drink at HER table! If she was evil she would have just laughed and never offered. But always the sad rejection of most to her offer and her diagnosis:

“All who hate me, love death”

(Proverbs)

Remember too that this is Old Testament and the full dimensions of the work of Christ were, at best, only hinted at.

One might even be “Proverbs-wise” in the world and still headed to an ETERNAL hell if not an EARTHLY one. The world has object lessons that cannot be stopped at for their own sake, but must be looked at as how they apply to the relationships of eternity.

One of the saddest things in the world is the man who is earthly wise, yet ultimately the driver is his ego. Maybe King Solomon himself was in that boat, when he sinned with his many wives. Being such a big shot that the grace of God is no longer amazing is a sad fate.
