For example...Albert Einstien has more intelligance and Jesus has more wisdom? Okay that might be a poor example...
Or can I use both words the same way?

There is a difference. Even an unwise person still has some degree of intelligence.
Intelligence is someone's capacity for learning. A person may be of low intelligence. A person of great intelligence would be very intelligent, knowledgeable, or sharp witted.
Wisdom is used more often in conjunction with knowledge, understanding, and enlightenment that one has accumulated through the ages.

no that was a good example actually. intelligence is more like book smart, whereas wisdom is gaining a level of understanding and comprehension on a wider scope. ugh that barely made sense to me.
i think

You might look at this way. Intellegence =quantity of information & understanding whereas wisdom=quality of understanding information.
