You hear the deceiver saying seek wisdom, and it sounds like satan's message.
The Kings of Assyria and of Babylon were deposed by God, as satan was ruling with them ( remember the Kings of the earth give their power to the beast...
Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Now look at the heart of these kings rules by the beast, by the spirits of devils, they want to sit as God and ascend up to Heaven, they say by their wisdom they have done it for they are prudent...
Isaiah 10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
That is the deceivers exact message, to seek wisdom?
But now look at the absolute irony. The serpents are described as wiser, and we are advised to be as wise as serpents...
Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
But Lucifer does not ascend up to Heaven, there is only one wise God....
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
I noticed the deceiver make mistakes, it says we all make mistakes, sometimes do wrong. But what I noticed of the deceivers mistakes, was not what it admitted, but what it shows by mistake. It says we cannot help but fail at times. But it never fails to contradict and blaspheme, not for one moment in years non stop of blaspheming Gods name on a daily basis, why does it never fail on that, if it insists we all fail at times ? Because the false teachers do not wan to fail on deceiving, so they never stopped for many years as seen and as proven on the posting forum.
Look at the words and see what is revealed about them, they are wise alright, but wise to do evil, and to do good all of a sudden they have no knowledge, as they admit themselves, they cannot do right always ( which means never)
Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Now compare that wisdom to do evil and no knowledge to do good, to the real wisdom of God as told, the Spirit of wisdom knowing Christ ( to know Him is told here too, the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man which satan hates and loathes this idea and these words..
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
So they are wise serpents, but wise to do devil and in what else ?
Wise to be excuse makers.
Wise to justify riches and selfishness.
Wise to find anyone who they can bring down to hell...
Proverbs 26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
Proverbs 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Again the children of this world are wiser, but the irony is that they are also foolishness, that their thoughts which they share daily and so much and to nobody, are actually vain...
1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
Here is that fulfillment, of their great swelling words of vanity, to promise liberty in Christ to the ones they deceive, who through the knowledge of Christ ( which was unto the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man) they come away from that to allure them through the lusts of the flesh and that is their message daily..
2 Peter 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
One last answer to the wise taslkers, who are exposed by answering about Romans 7.
Their only other excuse they attempt to use is 1 John, and that I say God is a liar by not confessing the sins. But as they are answered, I answer them easily again, it is right, we confess our sins, and also the part they cant acknowledge and can only deny is, we confess AND FORSAKE THEM..
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Example of confessing and forsaking our sins is on the very next chapter, to know Christ, ( remember the Spirit given in the knowledge of Him) is when we keep His commandments ( unto a perfect man is the knowledge of the Son of God) and the deceiver i left with nothing else to say but that we cannot walk as Christ walked, well it sure cant because it denies all God has testified which includes yet again that this is WHEN THE LOVE OF GOD IS PERFECTED IN US ( the knowledge of Him is into a perfect man that is the knowledge of the Son of God) and the disputer is left with no wise reply and is turned backwards..
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
