James 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

It also does not mean will know everything God knows, even though we think we do at times.
With all that said, reasoning can help us grow and mature in life and spiritually.
