Jam 3:15 | TNotes | STEP | 3:15 The wisdom that is earthly is not part of the good creation; it is the opposite of heavenly wisdom because it excludes God. It is unspiritual because it does not acknowledge or respond to God’s Spirit (1 Cor 2:14 ; Jude 1:19 ). It is demonic since it comes from the devil, the ultimate source of this destructive wisdom (Jas 3:6 ; 4:6 ; 1 Tim 4:1 ).
