Wisdom is required to apply knowledge in a meaningful way. Moroni didn't know everything, but he was able to discern and apply gospel truths and principles because he was wise.<br /><br />I guess that's just saying the same thing over again-- but I agree that wisdom is greater than knowledge.Dallinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545929299258364935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478273273186623663.post-51609139418309602922010-01-17T14:55:57.678-08:002010-01-17T14:55:57.678-08:00Well said!

It doesn't mean you know everything, just that you do well and correctly with what you do know.<br /><br />Your examples cite Moroni's perspective on his position and on the faith/country which of course were what made him such a great leader.<br /><br />A perfect understanding is more important that a perfect knowledge (which is probably not possible in this life).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
