Response: First of all before you go jumping out of context, in Proverbs wisdom is used as a guide for living a godly life style. Therefore proverbs 8 should be read in light of proverbs 1-9 since they all have the same context. For instance if Christ is wisdom who are understading and knowledge in Proverbs 3:19-20? It si obvious that wisdom is being personified here and as I stated before you do not personify people. Futhermore wisdom is also a she Proverbs 9:1 not a he.

Response: But you are reading the NT back into the OT, I will comment after the 1 Cor passage.

Response: Calling Christ the wisdom of God is fine, however, the context of Matt,Luke and Cor is different than that of Proverbs, for one in the NT usage, Christ being called wisdom means that he is the wisdom to salvation. In Proverbs however, Wisdom is being used as wisdom to living a godly life, as noted above you have ignored the intended context in which proverbs must be read. I will be back later on I gotta run to work.
