1 | Does knowledge out weight truth | 2 Tim 3:7 | Lionstrong | 7397 | ||
2 Tim 4:13 When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. Acts 17:28 for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' I’m glad to know what you mean by fact, that is, “not things that you become convinced of.” I now understand your previous statement better, although your use is not the ordinary use of that word. We say, “is that a fact?!” or “face the facts,” or “Just the facts, Ma’am.” So, in ordinary use fact is synonymous with truth. But there’s no objection to using an odd meaning, just so long as it known how you are using it and that you remain consistent in that use. That being said, your antipathy toward “book knowledge” is objectionable. Piety, our pursuit of holiness, doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God does not require us to be anti-intellectual. The above verses show the Apostle Paul to be a man of the books. To quote the Greeks poets evidences that he was well read in non-Jewish literature. As Paul is an example, “book knowledge” can enrich us and help us to speak more effectively to our culture. |

I posted this because it seems alot of people have tons of knowledge which is good but if we miss out on the truth of God's word then we would be lost. Knowledge of God is commendable but if not obeyed , It will be our judge Thanks | ||||||

Agreed, but knowledge and truth should not be pitted against each other. They are not enemies and it's not either-or. To KNOW God and His Christ is eternal life. (John 17:3) Besides, if those people don't know God, I doubt that what they have tons of is knowledge. | ||||||
