Had a Vision of the Massive Holiness And Righteousness and Wisdom of God?

Let no one deceive himself. 
If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, 
let him become a fool that he may become wise. 
~1 Corinthians 3:18

The Christian position is radically different, by definition. It is a chastened epistemology specifically in that it is the way a man will think when God has broken his pride through conviction of sin, through a vision of the massive holiness and rightness and wisdom of God, over against the pervasive moral, spiritual, and noetic effects of human sin. It is the thinking of a man who has come to see that Jesus is Lord, and he isn't; who has come to the cross for life and light and wisdom; who has yoked himself to Jesus and confessed, "I can't see anything rightly unless I see it as You see it, which I learn from Your Word alone."
