SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:  Proverbs 9:13-18 Folly and the Wisdom of God
A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple and knows nothing. For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat by the highest places of the city, To call to those who pass by, who go straight on their way: "Whoever is simple let him turn in here;” and as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of hell.


SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES: The Way of Divine Wisdom, or the way of human folly.
Every man, woman and child will have a choice to choose a way of life, because of inheriting the SIN of Adam (Genesis 3:1-24). The Eternal Wisdom of God has furnished her table and mixed her wine (Proverbs 9). And this; from before the very beginning of time (Isaiah 46:10), This Wisdom was furnished by God Himself before time began. This call of Wisdom is the Truth and the Light of the world we live in (John 1:1-5 and 14:1-6) as the Truth is in Jesus (Ephesians 4:21). Believing the Call by faith gives us back to God’s original Plan (this is God's favor we call GRACE; Eternal Life, see Ephesians 2:1-10.
After God Created Adam and Eve; another wisdom was introduced by the devil and the and fall of mankind became REAL. This wisdom began by a fallen angel “Lucifer” his name means “Day Star” or “son of the morning” read Isaiah 14:12-17. Lucifer is a created being, who and because of his rebellion against God, developed in mankind a “COUNTERFEIT” wisdom for man to live by. This wisdom is “good and evil” or better understood as “human unrighteousness” and even further clarified by God as “SIN” (Genesis 4:1-8) See also Romans 1:18; 1:29; 2 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 John 1:9 and 1 John 5:17. God changed the name of Lucifer to Satan, a description of Satan also called the devil is available from the Gospel of John chapter 8, verse 44.

What sort of wisdom was substituted? Proverbs 9:13-18 - A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple and knows nothing. For she sits at the door of her house, on a seat by the highest places of the city, To call to those who pass by, who go straight on their way: Whoever is simple let him turn in here; and as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. ” But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of hell.
 
We will continue tomorrow! There are many references today, if you have the time, take a look; that is “Be diligent to present yourself approve to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the WORD OF TRUTH. 2 Timothy 2:15.

All humans, past present and future will die a ph
