The meeting discusses the concept of worldly wisdom versus divine wisdom, with Temple leading a Bible study focusing on 1 Corinthians where Paul describes worldly wisdom as foolishness to God. M3l3k provides additional context from Ecclesiasticus and the Book of Enoch, explaining how wisdom is portrayed as feminine and created by God before all things. Temple elaborates on how Adam and Eve's desire for knowledge led to humanity's fall, arguing that pursuing worldly knowledge (associated with Egyptian deities like Seshat and Thoth) leads people away from divine truth. The discussion explores how the Ethiopian Bible, particularly the Book of Enoch, warns about sinners altering sacred texts, and emphasizes that true believers (the elect) will receive authentic books containing divine wisdom. A participant shares her personal journey of faith despite questions about different Bible versions, and Temple concludes by emphasizing the need to renew one's mind daily rather than being conformed to worldly thinking. Based on the meeting discussion, worldly wisdom affects us in several profound ways:

First, it creates a separation from God's true wisdom. Temple explains that pursuing worldly knowledge (like that associated with Egyptian deities Seshat and Thoth) leads people away from divine understanding, as Paul states in 1 Corinthians that "the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God."

Second, it places people in a state of captivity. The knowledge of good and evil that began with Adam and Eve has passed to all humanity, creating a cycle of disobedience and curses as described in Deuteronomy 28.

Third, it causes divisions among believers. Paul mentions in 1 Corinthians that worldly wisdom leads to envying, strife, and divisions in the church.

Fourth, it leads to self-deception. People begin to believe they are wise in their own understanding, which prevents them from receiving God's wisdom that often comes through "the foolish things of the world."

The remedy mentioned is returning to Christ daily - renewing one's mind and not conforming to worldly patterns of thinking. This involves studying authentic texts that contain divine wisdom rather than altered versions that have been manipulated by "sinners who pervert the words of righteousness." The meeting focused on a theological discussion about wisdom, knowledge, and Biblical interpretation. Temple led a discussion on how worldly wisdom is considered foolishness to God according to 1 Corinthians, explaining that the knowledge of good and evil that humans inherited from Adam and Eve represents fallen wisdom. He contrasted this with divine wisdom, citing various Biblical passages. M3l3k then presented extensive research on early Christian manuscripts, particularly the Didache (a first-century church manual), explaining how certain texts were excluded from the Biblical canon by early church authorities. He discussed the historical development of different Christian denominations, the Ethiopian Bible's significance, and theological concepts like "speaking in tongues," distinguishing between glossolalia (divine angelic language) and xenoglossia (miraculously speaking unlearned human languages). The discussion aimed to show how certain knowledge was deliberately kept from common believers and how understanding these excluded texts provides insight into early Christian teachings about the end times.
