not, we may not' agree on all points, but we both surely 'like' what you are saying...

I think knowledge is human perception and it is built over time. Wisdom refers to life situations and comes from God, it isnt like knowledge that comes through experience, it comes from God and wisdom is more vast in nature. This is as far as i can go on this subject.
