Bible Question: Is this not talking about Godly knowledge? also it is something we add to our faith. If we are going to succeed in this world we must have worldy knowledge and to succeed in God's kingdom we must seek His knowledge. Sometimes i try to impress people with my Knowledge Thanks |
Bible Answer: Hi Jim, I think we all have very little to boast about even in our knowledge. This passage in 2Peter even points that out in verse 3,"seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness..." I don't see anything added to our faith in this passaage. What I see is grace and peace multiplied in the knowlege of God and of Jesus our Lord. I see grace in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ in both 2Peter 1:8 and 3:18. As we become "partakers of the divine nature" then we can apply diligence in our faith to supply moral excellence and knowlege, etc. (verses 4,5) Sorry, I see no concern with knowlege of the World or worldly knowlege here. |
