    Word Origin and History for Belial
    early 13c., from Hebrew bel'yya'al "destruction," literally "worthless," from b'li "without" + ya'al "use." Wickedness as an evil force (Deut. xiii:13); later treated as a proper name for Satan (2 Cor. vi:15), though Milton made him one of the fallen angels.
    Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper

    Belial in the Bible
    Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
    worthlessness, frequently used in the Old Testament as a proper name. It is first used in Deut. 13:13. In the New Testament it is found only in 2 Cor. 6:15, where it is used as a name of Satan, the personification of all that is evil. It is translated "wicked" in Deut. 15:9; Ps. 41:8 (R.V. marg.); 101:3; Prov. 6:12, etc. The expression "son" or "man of Belial" means simply a worthless, lawless person (Judg. 19:22; 20:13; 1 Sam. 1:16; 2:12).

    COMMENTARY:
    The word "belial" is used 16 times in the bible. 15 times are in the old testament and always refers to sons of belial, and once in the new testament in reference to the devil himself. The bible is also its own dictionary, where a word is defined in its first usage.

    Deuteronomy 13:13
    Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;

    So here we see 3 of their main characteristics:

    * Are gone out from among you: their true identity is well camouflaged
    * Withdrawn the inhabitants of their city: they have leadership abilities
    * Saying, Let us go and serve other gods: they always lead people into idolatry

    The second usage is very revealing indeed.

    Judges 19:22
    Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.

    "that we may know him" means they wanted to have sexual intercourse with him.

    All sons of belial [the devil] promote homosexuality, but not all homosexuals are sons of belial.

    The number 2 in the bible indicates either division or establishment, depending upon the context. Sons of belial, which are spiritual sons of the devil, always cause divisions everywhere they go. This is why we have racism; so many different religions, often in conflict with one another; so many different denominations, often in conflict with one another; all wars have these sons of belial as the root spiritual cause.

    Here is a list of more of their defining characteristics.

    Proverbs 6
    12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
    13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

    14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
    15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

    16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
    17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

    18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
    19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

    3. Therefore, The Roman Catholic church is the world's counterfeit to the body of Christ.

    COMMENTARY

    There are approximately 240 different figures of speech used in the bible and there are up to 40 different varieties under a single figure, so there is a huge area of untapped biblical research that still needs to be done.

    Here is an excellent example of the importance of an accurate knowledge of figures of speech and how much difference it can make:

    John 20
    27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
    28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
    29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

    The average christian is going to use verse 28 to prove that Jesus is God and promote the trinity. What's new? Anytime a christian quotes this verse, I automatically know they haven't done their homework...

    However, without an accurate knowledge of figures of speech, you will never be able to rightly divide the word of God nor have a proper understanding of it.

    Verse 28 is the one used to prove the deity of Christ.

    This verse has the figure of speech called hendiadys, which literally means two for one. Two nouns are used, but only one thing is meant. The first noun [Lord], is the subject, the reference point and the second noun [God] is used as an adjective that modifies the first noun to an extreme degree.

    Thus the true meaning of verse 28 is: My Godly Lord.

    What an accurate description of Jesus Christ!

    Now we have the rightly-divided word of God regarding the true identity of who Jesus Christ really is.

  12. GENEVA BIBLE
    Version Information
    All but forgotten in our day, the Geneva Bible was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A superb translation, it was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers and thinkers of that time. Men such as William Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible in their writings.

    The Geneva Bible is unique among all other Bibles. It was the first Bible to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of its time because of its extensive marginal notes. These notes, written by Reformation leaders such as John Calvin, John Knox, Miles Coverdale, William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, and others, were included to help explain and interpret the Scriptures for the average reader.

  13. GOSPEL
    noun
    1. the teachings of Jesus and the apostles; the Christian revelation.
    2. the story of Christ's life and teachings, especially as contained in the first four books of the New Testament, namely Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

    3. (usually initial capital letter) any of these four books.
    4. something regarded as true and implicitly believed: to take his report for gospel.

    5. a doctrine regarded as of prime importance: political gospel.
    6. glad tidings, especially concerning salvation and the kingdom of God as announced to the world by Christ.

    7. (often initial capital letter) Ecclesiastical. an extract from one of the four Gospels, forming part of the Eucharistic service in certain churches

    adjective
    9. of, relating to, or proclaiming the gospel or its teachings: a gospel preacher.
    10. in accordance with the gospel; evangelical.
    11. of or relating to gospel music: a gospel singer.

    Origin of gospel
    before 950; Middle English go (d) spell, Old English gōdspell (see good, spell2); translation of Greek euangélion good news; see evangel1

    British Dictionary definitions for gospel
    noun
    1. Also called gospel truth. an unquestionable truth: to take someone's word as gospel
    2. a doctrine maintained to be of great importance

    3. Black religious music originating in the churches of the Southern states of the United States
    4. the message or doctrine of a religious teacher

    5. the story of Christ's life and teachings as narrated in the Gospels
    the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ
    (as modifier): the gospel story

    Commentary
    Each gospel has its own unique theme regarding Jesus Christ. The reason there are 4 gospels in the bible is because they emphasize the 4 aspects of the messiah, Jesus Christ:

    * Matthew: the king of the Judeans.
    * Mark: a servant
    * Luke: a man
    * John: the son of God

    Since the origin of gospel meant good news, technically, the entire bible is the gospel, the good news, because God is the author of every book of the bible and man is the writer.

  14. HEBREW
    noun
    1. a member of the Semitic peoples inhabiting ancient Palestine and claiming descent from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; an Israelite.

    adjective
    3. Hebraic.
    4. noting or pertaining to the script developed from the Aramaic and early Hebraic alphabets, used since about the 3rd century b.c. for the writing of Hebrew, and later for Yiddish, Ladino, and other languages.

    Hypnosis in Culture

    Hypnosis definition
    Placing persons in a drowsy, sleeplike state in which they allegedly become vulnerable to the suggestions made by the hypnotist. Hypnosis may also be used to tap into the unconscious and is often characterized by vivid recall of memories and fantasies. These properties make hypnosis a useful tool in psychotherapy. Hypnosis also has sinister implications, for subjects may be manipulated to perform embarrassing actions or be susceptible to carrying out the hypnotist's commands after the hypnosis session (posthypnotic suggestion).

    COMMENTARY

    There are only 2 broad, general viewpoints to hypnosis: the 5-sense approach and the spiritual.

    The bible contains all the information we need that pertains to life and godliness, so hypnotism is included in that.

    Deuteronomy 18
    9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
    10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

    11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
    12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

    13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
    14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered [allowed] thee so to do.

    In verse 10, look at the definition of enchanter:

    Strong's Concordance #5172
    nachash: to practice divination, observe signs
    Part of Speech: Verb
    Phonetic Spelling: (naw-khash')
    Short Definition: divination

    Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
    certainly, divine, enchanter, use enchantment, learn by experience, diligently observe
    A primitive root; properly, to hiss, i.e. Whisper a (magic) spell; generally, to prognosticate -- X certainly, divine, enchanter, (use) X enchantment, learn by experience, X indeed, diligently observe.

    So let me tell you like it is: hypnotism is the operation of devil spirits.

    1 Kings 19:12
    And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

    The "still small voice" is a whisper, a soft short message from God.

    Thus, the whisper during a hypnotic session is the world's counterfeit of God's soft whisper when he gives you revelation.

    In verse 11, it says "a consulter with familiar spirits". Familiar spirits, as the name says, are evil spirits, devil spirits which are familiar with a person and everything in their life.

    These are the devil spirits that are involved in past lives therapy that some psychologists and other counselors may use in their treatment of patients for various reasons.

    But remember, the objective is to deceive and possess you.

    The goal is to steal, kill, and destroy.

    John 10:10
    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

    This is why God forbid this type of thing in the Old Testament. He is looking out for us and our best interest as any good father would do.

    Leviticus 19:26
    Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

    Many different things in life involve the use of devil spirits: hypnotism; ventriloquism; snake charming; foretelling the future; contacting the dead; walking on burning coals of fire without getting burned; psychic surgery or healing; and others.


    Isaiah 47
    9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
    10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

    11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
    12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

    13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
    14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

    15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.

    2 Corinthians 2:11
    Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

    COMMENTARY

    Romans 12
    1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
    2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
    3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

    In verse 1, the word "reasonable" comes from the Greek word logikos defined below.

    HELPS Word-studies
    3050 logikós (from 3056 /lógos, "reason") – properly, logical because divinely reasonable, i.e. "what is logical to God" (logic working through the divine reasoning known through faith).

    The believer grasps "divine reasonableness" (3050 /logikós) by the Lord's inbirthings (gift) of faith – hence the close connection between 3050 (logikós) and faith (4102 /pístis) in Ro 12:1-3 (cf. 1 Pet 1:21, 2:2).

    Notice also the perfect order of the words in the word.

    In verse one, we have the sound logic of the word, then the faith [believing] will naturally follow in verse 3.

    Thus, true uncorrupted Christianity is logical, which results in a true and solid belief. This is in contrast to man-made religion, which often violates the laws of logic and mathematics, and uses the excuse of divine mystery to cover up their error. The trinity is a prime example of this.

    Here's proof that the shield of the trinity diagram violates the laws of mathematics & logic that God created!

  22. PANTHEISM
    British Dictionary definitions for pantheism
    noun
    1. the doctrine that God is the transcendent reality of which man, nature, and the material universe are manifestations
    2. any doctrine that regards God as identical with the material universe or the forces of nature

    3. readiness to worship all or a large number of gods

    Word Origin and History for pantheism
    n. "belief that God and the universe are identical," from pantheist (n.), which was coined (1705) by Irish deist John Toland (1670-1722), from Greek pan- "all" (see pan- ) + theos "god" (see Thea ).

    Toland's word was borrowed into French, which from it formed panthéisme (1712) which returned to English as pantheism "the doctrine that all is god" in 1732 (no evidence that Toland used pantheism).

    Greek pantheios meant "common to all gods" (see pantheon ). Other words used at various times for similar notions include panentheism, "philosophy founded on the notion that all things are in God" (1874), from German (1828), coined by Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832).

    COMMENTARY

    What does God's word say about other gods?

    Here are just a few of the many many verses on other gods:

    Exodus 18:11
    Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

    Exodus 20:3
    Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

    Judges 2:3
    Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

    Psalm 96:5
    For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

    1. the science of the mind or of mental states and processes.
    2. the science of human and animal behavior.
    3. the sum or characteristics of the mental states and processes of a person or class of persons, or of the mental states and processes involved in a field of activity: the psychology of a soldier; the psychology of politics.
    4. mental ploys or strategy: He used psychology on his parents to get a larger allowance.

    Commentary
    Psychology, the science of human behavior, is a paradox [a self-contradictory and false proposition]. This is because human behavior, in the least common denominator, ultimately originates from one of two spiritual sources [God or the devil], but as a science, psychology is limited to that which can be registered by the 5 senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. So psychologists are trying to reduce a vast, dichotomous [has 2 parts] spiritual category [of which they have very little or no accurate understanding of], down to cause & effect, empirical observations and conclusions that are derived within the limits of the 5 senses.

    Psychology fails before it even starts because its based on the invalid premise that the spiritual realm can be understood by the limited 5 senses and without the gift of holy spirit, which is a prerequisite to understanding the spiritual realm in the first place.


    I Corinthians 2:14
    But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

  28. PURGATORY
    British Dictionary definitions for purgatory

    Word Origin and History for purgatory

    Purgatory in Culture
    Purgatory definition
    In the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, the condition of souls of the dead who die with some punishment (though not damnation ) due them for their sins. Purgatory is conceived as a condition of suffering and purification that leads to union with God in heaven. Purgatory is not mentioned in the Bible; Catholic authorities defend the teaching on purgatory by arguing that prayer for the dead is an ancient practice of Christianity and that this practice assumes that the dead can be in a state of suffering — a state that the living can improve by their prayers.

    Note : A “purgatory” is, by extension, any place of suffering, usually for past misdeeds.

    COMMENTARY:
    The word "purgatory" or any of its derivatives, are never mentioned in any verse of the bible. Furthermore, the very definition and concept of a purgatory contradicts many verses of scripture, so the entire theology of purgatory is based on falsehood.

    The idea of praying for the dead is mentioned in 2 Maccabees, which is an apocryphal writing, once again contradicting God's holy word.

    COMMENTARY

    Reincarnation is a lie from the devil because it contradicts the word of God and negates the need to get born again of God's spirit and gain eternal life through Jesus Christ.

    Reincarnation originates from the devil's first lie [recorded immediately before the fall of man].

    Genesis 3:4
    And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

    You are not going to heaven when you die!

    Shewbread in the Bible

    Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
    Ex. 25:30 (R.V. marg., "presence bread"); 1 Chr. 9:32 (marg., "bread of ordering"); Num. 4:7: called "hallowed bread" (R.V., "holy bread") in 1 Sam. 21:1-6. This bread consisted of twelve loaves made of the finest flour. They were flat and thin, and were placed in two rows of six each on a table in the holy place before the Lord. They were renewed every Sabbath (Lev. 24:5-9), and those that were removed to give place to the new ones were to be eaten by the priests only in the holy place (see 1 Sam. 21:3-6; comp. Matt. 12:3, 4).

    The number of the loaves represented the twelve tribes of Israel, and also the entire spiritual Israel, "the true Israel;" and the placing of them on the table symbolized the entire consecration of Israel to the Lord, and their acceptance of God as their God. The table for the bread was made of acacia wood, 3 feet long, 18 inches broad, and 2 feet 3 inches high. It was plated with pure gold. Two staves, plated with gold, passed through golden rings, were used for carrying it.

  32. STRONG'S CONCORDANCE
    "The Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,[n 1] generally known as Strong's Concordance, is a concordance of the King James Version (KJV) that was constructed under the direction of Dr. James Strong (1822–1894) and first published in 1890. Dr. Strong was Professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary at the time. It is an exhaustive cross-reference of every word in the KJV back to the word in the original text.

    Unlike other Biblical reference books, the purpose of Strong's Concordance is not to provide content or commentary about the Bible, but to provide an index to the Bible. This allows the reader to find words where they appear in the Bible. This index allows a student of the Bible to re-find a phrase or passage previously studied. It also lets the reader directly compare how the same word may be used elsewhere in the Bible. In this way Strong's Notes provides an independent check against translations, and offers an opportunity for greater, and more technically accurate understanding of text."

    Foreword

    Anyone who makes a serious and substantial contribution to the understanding of the New Testament, renders a public service, for if religion is the foundation of morality, by the knowledge of God is the welfare of the people. As a book the New Testament stands alone and supreme, simple in its profoundness, and profound in its simplicity. It is the record, in twenty-seven Writings, of the origin, nature and progress of Christianity, and in the quality of its influence it has done more for the world than all other books together.

    To several of the features of this Dictionary I would like to call attention.

    First, it shows how rich is the language of the New Testament in words which present shades of the meaning of some common idea.

    Second, this Dictionary indicates the doctrinal bearing which the use of chosen words has. A case in point will be found on page 60, under ANOTHER. The use of allos and heteros in the New Testament should be carelully examined, for "another numerically" must not be confounded with "another generically."

    Third, this Dictionary shows how very many New Testament words are compounds, and how important are prepositional prefixes.

    Fourth, this Dictionary is compiled in the light of the new knowledge which has come to us by the discovery of the papyri. During the last fifty years this light has been brought to bear upon the New Testament with precious and priceless results.

    In Lexicons previous to this discovery are to be found lists of what are called hapax legomena, words which occur once only, and many of which, it was supposed, were created by the Holy Spirit for the conveyance of Christian truth, but now all or nearly all such words have been found in the papyri. The Holy Spirit did not create a special language for Christianity, but used the colloquial tonque of the time; He employed the cosmopolitan Greek. This fact has radically affected our approach to the New Testament, and although, in view of the magnitude of this Dictionary, it has been impossible to do more than make a reference here and there to this learning (e.g., pp. 7, 8, 59), yet the whole is produced in the light of it, and so represents present day scholarship.

    W. Graham Scroggie, D.D. (Edin.)

    Preface

    To ascertain the exact meaning of the words and phraseology of the originals of the Holy Scriptures is of great importance, particularly those which have a variety of meanings in English. The research work of the past fifty years, with the discovery of a large number of inscriptions and documents, and especially of the non-literary writings in the tombs and dust heaps of Egypt, has yielded much light upon the use and meaning of the language of the originals. The importance of the Egyptian papyri writings etc. lies in the fact that they were written during the period in which the writers of the New Testament lived.

    Proof has thus been provided that the language of the New Testament was not a debased form of literary Greek corrupted by Hebrew idioms, but that in the main it was the vernacular, the speech of the everyday life of the people in the countries which came under Greek influence through the conquests of Alexander the Great. As the result of those conquests, the ancient Greek dialects became merged into one common speech, the Koine or 'common' Greek. In one form this language became the literary Koine, or Hellenistic, of such writers as Josephus. In its spoken form it was the everyday speech of millions of people throughout the Graeco-Roman world, and in the providence of God it was under these conditions and in this world-language that the New Testament was written...

    Wilderness in the Bible

    Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

    (1.) Heb. midhbar, denoting not a barren desert but a district or region suitable for pasturing sheep and cattle (Ps. 65:12; Isa. 42:11; Jer. 23:10; Joel 1:19; 2:22); an uncultivated place. This word is used of the wilderness of Beersheba (Gen. 21:14), on the southern border of Palestine; the wilderness of the Red Sea (Ex. 13:18); of Shur (15:22), a portion of the Sinaitic peninsula; of Sin (17:1), Sinai (Lev. 7:38), Moab (Deut. 2:8), Judah (Judg. 1:16), Ziph, Maon, En-gedi (1 Sam. 23:14, 24; 24:1), Jeruel and Tekoa (2 Chr. 20:16, 20), Kadesh (Ps. 29:8).

    "The wilderness of the sea" (Isa. 21:1). Principal Douglas, referring to this expression, says: "A mysterious name, which must be meant to describe Babylon (see especially ver. 9), perhaps because it became the place of discipline to God's people, as the wilderness of the Red Sea had been (comp. Ezek. 20:35). Otherwise it is in contrast with the symbolic title in Isa. 22:1. Jerusalem is the "valley of vision," rich in spiritual husbandry; whereas Babylon, the rival centre of influence, is spiritually barren and as restless as the sea (comp. 57:20)." A Short Analysis of the O.T.

    (2.) Jeshimon, a desert waste (Deut. 32:10; Ps. 68:7).

    (3.) 'Arabah, the name given to the valley from the Dead Sea to the eastern branch of the Red Sea. In Deut. 1:1; 2:8, it is rendered "plain" (R.V., "Arabah").

    (4.) Tziyyah, a "dry place" (Ps. 78:17; 105:41). (5.) Tohu, a "desolate" place, a place "waste" or "unoccupied" (Deut. 32:10; Job 12:24; comp. Gen. 1:2, "without form"). The wilderness region in the Sinaitic peninsula through which for forty years the Hebrews wandered is generally styled "the wilderness of the wanderings."

    This entire region is in the form of a triangle, having its base toward the north and its apex toward the south. Its extent from north to south is about 250 miles, and at its widest point it is about 150 miles broad. Throughout this vast region of some 1,500 square miles there is not a single river. The northern part of this triangular peninsula is properly the "wilderness of the wanderings" (et-Tih). The western portion of it is called the "wilderness of Shur" (Ex. 15:22), and the eastern the "wilderness of Paran." The "wilderness of Judea" (Matt. 3:1) is a wild, barren region, lying between the Dead Sea and the Hebron Mountains. It is the "Jeshimon" mentioned in 1 Sam. 23:19.

    COMMENTARY:

    Isaiah 14:17
    That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

    The devil made the world a spiritual wilderness by the operation of devil spirits and primarily working through the seed of the serpent people who run the world.

    But we have more power and we can cast devil spirits out of people and get them delivered with the power of God.

    Old English wisdom, from wis (see wise (adj.)) + -dom. A common Germanic compound (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian wisdom, Old Norse visdomr, Old High German wistuom "wisdom," German Weistum "judicial sentence serving as a precedent"). Wisdom teeth so called from 1848 (earlier teeth of wisdom, 1660s), a loan-translation of Latin dentes sapientiae, itself a loan-translation of Greek sophronisteres (used by Hippocrates, from sophron "prudent, self-controlled"), so called because they usually appear ages 17-25, when a person reaches adulthood.

    Commentary
    Wisdom is knowledge applied, action taken upon knowledge. Some books of the bible, such as Ephesians, are divided up into 2 parts: chapters 1-3 is the doctrinal knowledge and chapters 3-6 are the first 3 chapters applied, in other words, chapters 3-6 gives us the wisdom on how to apply the first 3 chapters.

    The book of Proverbs is an entire book of the bible devoted to wisdom.

    Biblically and spiritually, there are only 2 kinds of wisdom: God's and Satan's.

    15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
    16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
    17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
    18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
