Hi. I wanted to know something. Who is "brother knowledge" and what is he like? Has anyone here had experience with 'brother knowledge'?
Also what about 'Lady Wisdom' ?

Proverbs 2:9-15​

The Message​

9-15 So now you can pick out what’s true and fair,​

find all the good trails!​

Lady Wisdom will be your close friend,​

and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion.​

Good Sense will scout ahead for danger,​

Insight will keep an eye out for you.​

I believe that they both are The Holy Spirit who gives us knowledge and guidance, softens our hearts and helps us to become more and more like Jesus

I would encourage you to test the source "The Message" translation. It has led many astray from true scripture. Here is a parallel with the New King James Version. This may help you discern.
Blessings.

Holy Wisdom is generally understood to be a reference to Jesus Christ. The Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria tended to identify Holy Wisdom with the Greek concept of the Logos, and this language was retained by early Christians. So that Jesus, as the Logos (John 1:1-14) is identical to Holy Wisdom. This is why the ancient church in Constantinople, Hagia Sophia, is so-called. Hagia Sophia, Greek for "Holy Wisdom" is short for "Church of the Holy Wisdom of God", "Holy Wisdom of God" referring to Jesus Christ. See also 1 Corinthians ch. 1 where St. Paul says that Christ is the Wisdom of God.

So insofar as Wisdom is personified in Jewish wisdom literature, it is understood to be alluding to the Logos, to Jesus Christ.

Though it's also worth noting that, at least in some patristic works of the early centuries, "Wisdom" is also used to describe the Holy Spirit. Such that we sometimes see the language of God, His Word (Logos) and His Wisdom (Holy Spirit).

Let me ask question. What did Jesus teach in John chapter 3 ? About those who wont allow their deeds to be reproved in the light ? Why won't some people come to the light. How about first epistle John 1:6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. 1:7. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus christ His son cleans us from all sins. The body of christ is too love one another. Apostates are heretics, they're minds are subverted. Heretics won't accept being admonished. You cut them off, they walk in darkness. You can't coddle these kind of folks. Proverbs 2;16. To deliver thee from the strange woman , even from the stranger which flatters with her words; The stranger is apostates. They broke away from the foundation of christ and formed denominations. They find a simple person, and manipulate and indoctrinate their minds with traditions of men. Jesus said in gospel of Matthew, the pharisees cross the sea, and convert poor soul. Now he's Twice the son of hell. He was better off never meeting these false brethren. Is this sinking in ? 5:3. For the lips of strange woman drop as an honey comb, and her mouth is smoother than butter. ZUR in Hebrew means = Apostate. These priests who teach tradition of men, false doctrine. Hosea 4:15. Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not judah offend; and come not ye unto gilgal, go ye neither up to Berh Aven, nor swear, the Lord lives. Beth Aven means house of nothing. The apostates teach at these denominations. Its traditions of men. God's meat isn't taught. These congregations are stuck on milk bottles. No spirtual growth, no knowledge. Proverbs 5:4. But her end is bitter as Wormwood, sharp as two edge sword. Who is Wormwood. Its satan. These fake preachers are servants of evil spirits. 5:5. Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on hell. Proper word for hell is Sheol. Its holding place for the wicked and spirtualty dead. Your warned by hosea chapter 4, and proverbs chapter 5, beth Aven leads to hell. Stay away from false preachers. Stay away from traditions of men, false doctrine. Remember ZUR = apostates, stranger.
