There are seven levels of "Wisdom" in man:
Feeling....
Awareness....
Intellect....
Judgment....
Subtle Wisdom....
Divine Analytic Wisdom....
Divine Luminous Wisdom...
Within the fourth level, which is judgment is the "Point" where mans wisdom ceases and the "Wisdom of God" starts to become manifest.
It is through these seven levels of wisdom that man can see (Know) God.
The four steps necessary to understand these are:
Remembrance....
Contemplation....
Prayer....
Worship....
This is a short explanation.
The Wisdom of man is limited to that which can be seen.
The "Wisdom of God"encompasses not only that which is seen but also that which is unseen.
When man knows the true self and has surrendered this true self to God then this is the "Point" where God and man meet!

Wisdom is given to Man by God's Holy Spirit. It is a gift. It is available to everyone, but some will receive more of it because they are earnestly seeking after it. [her] If you continue to ignore "Wisdom", she will turn her back on you and will not hear you when you call upon her during times of calamity in your life. The chains of Wisdom are heavy. Read Proverbs 1:20, 2

Herein lies the answer =)
James 3
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Ask! Ask a man and you will know his wisdom (opinion). Ask God and He will give you His wisdom. A man's wisdom comes only from one point of view though (opinion); God's comes from viewing all points (wisdom). God gives wisdom to those who seek it, and one place to seek it is in scripture. It is full of the wisdom of God. If what you want goes against the gospel, it is the wisdom of the world, not of God.

i think this is sparkling that they are one interior the comparable. seem on the beginning up of the two verses: Psalm 111:10: the phobia of the Lord is the beginning up of understanding Proverbs one million:7: the phobia of the Lord is the beginning up of expertise the only word that differences is understanding for knowlege. yet seem on the 2nd verse extra heavily. It starts with the words we only observed: the phobia of the Lord is the beginning up of expertise, then switches to the word understanding interior the 2nd area: yet fools despise understanding and education. Now, in the event that they have been different words the sentence might make no experience. this is an occasion: The cooling of water vapor is the beginning up of rain, yet autos are perpetually. stupid occasion, yet hopefully you spot that they could no longer leap from expertise to understanding without an evidence for the leap till ... as I advise, it wasn't a leap in any respect. Lord bless.

Read or reread Conversations with God by Neale Walsch.
The clearest reading on the topic ever written.
God is the same as all of us together. Which is the greater wisdom?

Most of what passes off as the "Wisdom of God" is really the wishful thinking of man, the manipulative trappings of man, the arrogance of man, the ignorance of man etc.

The wisdom of God begins with the fear of God.
The wisdom that opposes God is the wisdom of man.

This question cannot be answered in the traditional sence, you see, because know one knows the wisdom of god, so you can't possibly compare the two.

we cant know the wisdom of God until He allows us to. we don't use all of our minds so even if we did learn it and even some things we know but are unbelievable, we couldn't comprehend the infinite knowledge.
