Most of the things we do have an appearance of wisdom, but are actually self-imposed and it will interest you to know that most religions are driving this wheel of self-imposed wisdom.
What is self-imposed wisdom?
Biblically, self-imposed wisdom is the prior that preaches Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to our chains being on the side of the truth. However, the latter is godly wisdom, which preaches Christ out of love, knowing that we are instrument to preach and defend of the gospel. Nevertheless, here is the good news and that is why the good news not as the bad news, even if Christ preached in pretense or in truth, Christ preached His life and became a living epistle, so we could also and in this, I will rejoice always.
