I guess if you knew the source of someone's opinions whether they were indeed inspired by truth, you would have the ability to make a judgement, but since you aren't God and don't have ability to rely on omiscience, you're just guessing.

Everything that is of the world is "worldly." It isn't about whether it contradict's God's word, it's about the origin of it. Where the origin is of the world, it is not of God and is, therefore, an enemy of God.

Again, if you knew it's source, you might be able to say that.

The very notion of "personality types" is based in worldly wisdom and, thus, is not of God. Such things have no place in the Church.

That is your opinion, and when you lead a group of people or a team, you have every right to refrain from using this type of teaching. As for me, I will use any tool that is not contrary to God's word or principles to accomplish His purposes. For me, I have seen too much godly fruit come from the proper use of it even as it relates to spiritual gifting.

Any "understanding" (wisdom) that is not based solely in God's word is not of God and, thus, is not real understanding.

So if it doesn't cite chapter and verse, it's not real understanding?

What do you have against idiots that you feel the need to insult them by saying we are all idiots in someone's eyes?

Idiocy is not of God, is a choice, and therefore has no place in His kingdom!
