Thoughts On Knowledge

There is no separation of knowledge. There is no division of “rational” and “faith”. There is no division of science and God. There is harmony in all knowledge and wisdom and understanding. It is harmonized because it only comes from One source.¬†

All of the great philosophers and thinkers will be proved wrong if they think otherwise. It is not I who will prove them wrong; instead it will be the harmony of knowledge and wisdom and understanding itself. That which emanates from Almighty God, El Shaddai will stare them in the face both in this life and in the next. For many in this life see and yet they do not see, they hear but they do not hear or understand.

Job 28 ¬†”But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know its value,¬†nor is it found in the land of the living.” vs. 12-13

“God understands its way, and He knows its place.” vs. 23

“And to man He said, Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.” vs. 28

How powerful is that.

God hides and reveals things. All sorts of things.

Nice thoughts. Think about the implications.

“I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so Father, for it seemed good in Your sight. All these things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.” – Matthew 11:25-27

“To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;” – Ephesians 3:8-9

“For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God” – Colossians 3:3

“I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.” – Matthew 13:35

“Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.” – Romans 16:25-27

“…and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” – Colossians 2:3

Did you see that last one? I like treasure. I think I will seek it. Yes, I think I will go on a treasure hunt and I know just where to start.
