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. |

2 | Does knowledge out weight truth | 2 Tim 3:7 | Ray | 7514 | ||
Hi Lionstrong, I am a college graduate with a little bit of book knowledge in my past; so I am not anti-intellectual. But I can take your criticism to heart and see if a better balance needs to be established. I do want to speak effectively. But as a "capitalizer" I do not capitalize Science nor Knowledge. I want to know the Person of the scriptures and I spend my time there when searching for the knowledge of the truth. |

Hi Ray, Thanks for your answer. I think this Study Bible Forum is a good place for such searching. We can post our thoughts on whatever verse we're meditating on. Others in the forum can then read our thoughts and make those thoughts profitable by either giving further teaching on the subject from Scripture, or reproving, or correcting, or giving further 'training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16,17) |
