The sin of knowledge

[Votto]

It seems to me the quotes you posted are more about good works than about knowledge. If many Christians worried about their own good works as they do about what others are doing, the world would be a better place.

The world is a better place because of Christians

They created your first charities, hospitals, universities, etc

In fact, those who give most of their time and money to the poor today are religious

Wakey, wakey.

 

[OneIsTheWord]

Moonglow does not believe in a God. He thinks he is top of the food chain.

Does he believe in Satan?

[OneIsTheWord]

Thank you. He died in 2004, so it is not as much of an issue now.

well there is a new father in town

Exactly. That is what I am saying.

are you?

Blameless? In that sense, no. In the alternative sense, absolutely not. Thanks for asking.

you are welcome, much friends if you let someone in

James 5:15-16 (KJV) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The sin of knowledge
Genesis 2:9 the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
​

James 4:12-17 (NKJV)There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and destroy. Who are you to judge another?
Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."
But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
Therefore, to him who knows to do well and does not do it, to him it is sin.

1 Timothy 5:24-25 some men's sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later.
Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.

James 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do well and does not do it, to him it is sin.

1 Timothy 5:25 Likewise, the good works of some are clearly evident, and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.

James 4:17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

1 Corinthians 3:13-15 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's works, of what sort it is.
If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Man was created with free will. That was a test, which we passed.

 

[OneIsTheWord]

Man was created with free will. That was a test, which we passed.

Without trials, there is no deliverance, choices to make, yes free will

[Uranus]

Anything good, anything evil was created by God why did God want to hide the knowledge and keep humans dependent on him while not allowing their intellect to grow?

You're talking as if God is like you, a human, and that he created you with no special purpose.

 

[Moonglow]

You're talking as if God is like you, a human, and that he created you with no special purpose.

Correct and why in the hell do you call yourself Uranus(Urainus)? God created me in his own image, what other type would I be?

 

[Uranus]

They created your first charities, hospitals, universities, etc

Muslims made the first university. To be more specific, a Muslim woman did.

Were space objects your own thing?

 

[Moonglow]

Were space objects your own thing?

No, but you did not spell the name of a planet correctly so I figured you were into ur anus.

 

[Moonglow]

Muslims made the first university. To be more specific, a Muslim woman did.

What happened why did Muslims fall behind?

knowledge itself is not a sin, but knowing what is good and what is evil and then choosing evil, that is sin.

 

[RodISHI]

To have the knowledge of good and evil one is no longer covered by grace. Thus a fall from grace as the human learns to overcome the carnal mind and thus as Paul said, I die daily. Each day Paul would wake up and put those thoughts of the carnal mind aside and the old Adam-human in him would die a little more as the new human born of the Spirit is brought forth in the image of the firstborn of God.

 

[onefour1]

If knowledge were sin, then God himself would live in sin. When Adam and Eve partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God said:

Genesis 3:21-22
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Knowing good from evil is an attribute of God and is not sin. However, once you know the difference between good and evil, choosing to do evil is a sin.
