Lesson 4 (Jan 17-23), Divine Wisdom

If Satan wins the Great Controversy will the definition of "wisdom" change?

Wisdom Cries Out
  1. How do we hear the call of wisdom?  Is it audible or inaudible? How can one know if it is the call of Lady Wisdom or Dame Folly?
  2. Why do so many reject wisdom and follow stupidity?
  3. What can one do to be among those who respond to wisdom? 
Wisdom and Creation
  1. Did God exist before Wisdom did?
  2. Did God determine what Wisdom would be or is it independent of God?
Rejoicing in Creation
  1. What was the difference in creation between being declared "good," and being declared "very good?" Was what was declared "very good" better than what was described merely as "good?"
  2. Did God create us for His pleasure? If we do not please God is He justified in destroying us? Why does He want to destroy all the wicked.
Wisdom's Appeal
  1. If there were no such thing as "sin"and "death," would the prescription for happiness change?
  2. Why do some respond to good sense and some not?
  3. Is it wrong to seek happiness?
Either/Or
  1. Why is it that Wisdom has to be pursued, but Folly pursues us?
  2. Why is it easier to be stupid than to be wise?
  3. What makes some people unteachable? How can I know if I am unteachable?
  4. What makes belief in creation smarter than belief in evolution?
