Education and Learning can lead to being Puffed up and Condescending

I was condescended to by a man I admire. He could have done better, but didn't. My feelings aren't hurt, but my opinion of him suffered. That's a pity.

I was seeking God over this issue and he pointed me to a verse we know well:

1 Corinthians 8; 1B-3 We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. 3But the man who loves God is known by God.

Father said, Knowledge, Learning, Education leads to Pride and Pride leads to a feeling of superiority, Superiority (being Puffed up) leads to condescension. Learning is good, but not everyone can handle knowledge well.

He didn't.

PS: I had someone who read this say: PHD = Permanently Head Damaged! It's just like wealth....The Gift has to come by grace and can only be maintained by the same. AMEN
