Book Knowledge vs. Application
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010There is a grave difference between those who read READ the scripture for the sake of book knowledge and those who do so for the sake of applying the knowledge of what’s written on it’s pages. -©2010 Kristal Kleer Publishing
The heathen (wicked religious) read the scripture for the sake of gaining knowledge to make themselves appear as some great ones. The Pharisees were such: knowledge hounds for the sake of telling others to do the very things that they weren’t willing to do themselves.
“All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. ” (Matthew 23:3–4, KJV)
So, now we have this new breed of Pharisee, known as the avid church attender, who reads only what the preacher instructs them to turn to on Sunday or Wednesday. Let me correct that. They turn to the scripture, however, I am certain that the majority don’t actually read what is written. This would be the reason for their ignorance of what the Bible actually says.
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:…. ” (James 1:22–23, KJV)
“If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of YHWH. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. ” (1 Corinthians 14:37–38, KJV)
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy Father, I will also forget thy children. ” (Hosea 4:6, KJV)
The avid church attender loves to quote bible verses, however they are merely quoting and not even aware of what they are quoting. So, they are cool with having a bit of knowledge of the verses, however applying it would require that they take the time to study and know the truth of what is written.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto YHWH, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ” (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV)
READ & HEED the Father’s words and freedom will be your lot.
