These are all very true and good points. However, what I’m talking about is the need for man to have a “fact” to base one’s faith upon. This fact is, of course (as the verses you posted state) God.
IOW, what I’m stating here is (and what I stated in the original post that got your intention) was that if one’s faith is not based on a fact (if say, we are just Christians because our family raised us that way, or to look good in a community), it will never really be real to that person. This fact must be so remarkable that it can only come from God. So I’m not saying that it is our wisdom apart from God that gets us to Him. It’s our wisdom, based on the initial fact that comes from God, that can be used to come to a fuller (more mature) understanding and grounding of our faith.
OK...I understand what you are saying...I however, disagree at this point...
I don't see where our wisdom has anything to do with it...God says so Himself...I mean, how can you argue with this scripture???
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
I know for a 'fact' that God lives, and lives within me...My flesh doesn't seem to know it...And even when my mind occassionally tries to convince me otherwise, my spirit/God's Spirit immediately does a body slam on my flesh...If I relied on my wisdom, I would likely not be a Christian...
