Hear another Parable: There was a certain man who went to a popular market in America with plenty of dollars to buy Wisdom and Understanding. And the man entered into a shop whose owner is a merchant of gold and different types of expensive ornaments; and he said in his heart this must be a viable place to buy Wisdom and Understanding. And he said to the owner of the shop: Fellow, I am in dire need of Wisdom and Understanding! I don’t know whether I can buy these items from you? But the owner of the shop replied: I don’t have Wisdom and Understanding for sale. Thereafter, the man proceeded to another shop whose owner is a Jew, who specializes in selling natural products he imports from Israel – mustard seeds, olive oil, holy wine extracted from the vine of Jerusalem, holy water from river Jordan, etc. And the hypocrite, who wants to buy Wisdom and Understanding, said: There is no other place to look for these items but in this shop! And he said to the owner of the shop, sell to me Wisdom and Understanding. And the fellow replied him: I don’t have Wisdom and Understanding neither do I sell them. And the man laboured from morning till evening, moving from one shop to the other in search of Wisdom and Understanding, but no merchant could sell these “items” to him. What happened after this?
The Holy Spirit, who is present everywhere, spoke to this man thus: Young man, I have been watching you wandering from one shop to the other in search of Wisdom and Understanding, which you intend to buy with plenty of your ill gotten money! You have a copy of the Holy Bible in your home, but you neither study it nor obey the WORD OF GOD in it! You can never buy Wisdom and Understanding with money! Now hear this: “THE FEAR OF THE LORD, that is WISDOM, and TO DEPART FROM EVIL is UNDERSTANDING” – Job 28:28. Since you neither fear God nor depart from doing evil, you will keep searching for these gifts of the Holy Spirit until you must enter into Hell on this DAY of Judgement. So it shall be with all the hypocrites of this crooked and adulterous generation who reduced Christianity to money worship!
