THE CRAZ FOR KNOWLEDGE.

The knowledge.

Socrates believed that true knowledge begins with admitting ignorance. He said, "I know that I know nothing." Through dialogue and questions, I believed we could get closer to the truth.

Plato:
Plato, pupil of Socrates, believed that knowledge comes from the world of ideas and ideals. In The Republic, he used the example of a cave to explain how the physical world is simply a shadow of the real world that can be accessed by philosophical reasoning.

Aristotle:
Aristotle, student of Plato, believed that knowledge came from sensory experience and observation. I believed the human mind could comprehend the world by compiling and analyzing data.

Descartes:
Descartes, the famous French philosopher, said the famous phrase: "I think, then I exist." I believed that thought and doubt were the basis of true knowledge. For him, reason is the basic tool for attaining knowledge.

Immanuel Kant:
Kant tried to balance reason and experience. I believed that knowledge arises from the mind's interaction with the physical world and that we have limits to what we can know. He said there are things the human mind cannot fully comprehend, which are “the thing itself.”

John Locke:
John Locke, the English philosopher, believed that the human mind generates a blank slate (flat tabula) and that knowledge comes from sensory experience and interaction with the outside world.

David Hume:
Hume doubted the possibility of achieving absolute and true knowledge. I believed that our knowledge is based on experience and habit, and that the mind cannot attain absolute certainty.

What do you think?
Whether you believe knowledge comes from reason or experience, understanding these viewpoints can open new horizons in your thinking.

But, Where is Knowledge?
It's With God!

"...The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction..."Proverbs 1:7. "...The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever..." Psalms 111:10.

"...My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding, That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge..." Proverbs 5:1-2.

"...The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge..." Proverbs 14:18.

"...The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge..." Proverbs 18:15 

 "...The mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. Colossians 2:3-4.

"...Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him..."I Corinthians 8:1-3.

TODAY'S TOPIC: Biblical View of Vigils and Cross-Over Night Prayers.  "...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God..." "...And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him..." 1Cor.10:31; Col. 3:17. As a Disciple of Christ, it is essential to approach this question with Biblical authority (Colossians 3:17), and a commitment to practices explicitly commanded or authorized in the Scriptures.  Let us examine this topic through the lens of Biblical teaching! --- 1. Understanding "Vigil" and "Cross-Over Night Prayers". Vigils generally refer to late-night or all-night gatherings for prayer, worship, or reflection. Cross-Over Night Prayers are specific to New Year’s Eve, where individuals or Congregations gather to pray into the New Year. These practices are popular in many religious traditions, but we must ask: Are they authorized by Scripture, and can the Church of Christ...

BIBLE VERSE FOR TODAY: TODAY'S TOPIC: LIVING A DIFFERENT LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS. TODAY'S VERSE: Ephesians 4:17-19 NKJV [17] "This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, [18] having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; [19] who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." In some translations of the Bible, this passage tells us not to live “as the pagans do.”   The term “pagans” might make you think of primitive tribes, with idols and all sorts of superstitions and outdated religious rites. But Paul thinks differently.  In the quoted passage, “pagans,” or “Gentiles,” are people who get stuck in spiritual idleness, wild thoughts and unrestrained behaviors associated with sinfulness, lawless...

ANSWER TO PASTOR DOCTOR ABEL DAMINA

ANSWER TO PASTOR ABEL DAMINA.  (BY,  OLAYEMI ADEYINKA ABRAHAM). Many religions cast doubts on the deity of Jesus. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses claim that Jesus is the first creation of God. Muslims see Jesus as nothing more than a significant prophet, much like Moses. Pastor Dr. Abel Damina claimed Jesus is not God, according to him if we believe Jesus is God we are playing with hell fire. To answer this question tonight, let us turn to the book of John which deals with this important question. John begins his book with this statement, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:1-4). John claims that the Word was both with God and was God. In order to be "with" requires multiple beings; hence, we conclude that God is composed of more th...
