What does it mean for all scripture to be God breathed (2 Tim. 3:16)? A practical understanding of this helps to explain seemingly confusing portions in James writings, which were recorded by God’s inspiration for a particular purpose.

What are the two levels of wisdom revealed in the New Testament? James presents wisdom (James. 1:5) from the human level by emphasizing Christian perfection whereas Paul presents wisdom from the spiritual level (1 Cor. 1:30) by focusing on Christ, who is the centre of God’s economy. Christians need both levels of wisdom to be proper and complete.
