KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT GOD

"The Spirit's Voice" Newsletter by Matthew Arin Adams Visit www.boilingpointgospelcentre.org

What is knowledge? It is to be informed; get acquainted about something; to have wisdom and understanding… We all pursue knowledge to avoid ignorance and the blindness of the mind. Why the question, ‘Knowledge without God?’ The human mind is made with capacity to probe or explore for the intent to unearth the hidden mysteries of life and/or nature.  

So the pursuit of knowledge entails all of human struggles to acquire deeper insight beyond what the ordinary mind can transmit into real life situation. It is evident that human senses and faculties had been employed; delving into the activities of environment, experiences or circumstances; hence knowledge becomes obtainable and productive.

Since this article is not motivated by academic inquest, it is intended to convert the ordinary mind to gain insight into the God-kind of knowledge as it was originally purported.  Therefore, this is rather a spiritual discourse than intellectual. The reader is expected to apply faith to accept God’s precepts than what the ordinary human mind can offer. It is also a kind of battle; a fight between the ‘man-made’ and God’s intended.

The Bible is the only point of reference for the divine perception. From all indications, and from the onset, rebellion against God is attached to the temptation of the pursuit of knowledge. Each time the quest for wisdom is driven by an evil motive or ungodly drive, the aftermath is total enmity with God; keeping God out of the chase; the evil collaborated human nature being in control thereby drowning the wise counsel of the Most High God in one’s life.
