>**Proverbs 8:22 (KJV)** The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. Even if you take the stance that Proverbs 8:22 means God *possessed* me at the beginning (i.e. as opposed to God *created* me at the beginning), what does one do with, for example, Sirach 1:4, which says: >**Sirach 1:4 (KJV)** Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting. I'd like to believe that Wisdom is Jesus; it makes a lot of sense to me. But it's very hard for me to believe Jesus was a created being, and just as hard to believe there are two Wisdoms. Question -- According to Christians who believe a) Christ was **not created** and b) is the Wisdom spoken of in the Wisdom books of the Old Testament, why is this Wisdom described in the Old Testament as having been **created** by God?
