Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2Ti 3:7 The knowledge of the Truth is a personal relationship with Christ via the Holy Spirit.      Many people know about Jesus.     Some even know what He said and did.     But knowledge about Christ Jesus is not the knowledge of the Truth that this verse is speaking of.      Knowledge of the Truth comes by faith in the Word of the Lord concerning Jesus.     That faith produces Eternal Life in the believer on the authority of the Lord's Word Rom 10:17 Rom 10:10.      In the secular realm, knowledge is the end all.     Disciplines are contrived in which knowledge is pursued.     However, without the correct assumptions, a discipline or thread of knowledge is merely an intellectual game having no connection at all to Truth.      The acknowledgement of the Creator must be assumption number one.     Otherwise, the pursuit is the pursuit of a fool.     Pro 1:7 Pro 9:10 Psm 14:1 Psm 53:1 Rom 1:21

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your Lord, I will also forget your children. Hos 4:6 The knowledge of God is not just knowing about God but understanding our total dependence on Him.     It is appreciating His character.     It is drawing near to Him for the purpose of intimate, personal relationship with Him.      The reality is that a person who does not desire God does not know God.     He is altogether lovely, giving and loving.     He is desirable beyond anything or anyone in existence.      Anyone who does not desire God will be rejected by Him because they are unfit for His presence.

Not desiring the knowledge of the Holy Spirit coupled while desiring secular knowledge is idolatry.   

Who changed the truth of the Lord into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.     Amen. Rom 1:25 The Lord is Creator.     He is Truth.     But the secular world denies His existence and calls His Word a lie.      Such people have no recourse but to worship the physical creation because they have denied the Lord of life.      Since they do not believe that there is a creator who upholds all things by the Word of His power, they feel that they must manage the earth.      Examples of their foolish usurpation of the creator's role in the universe they try to Social Engineer, manage Climate Change and handle Population Control.

It is in the knowledge of the Holy Spirit through our Lord Jesus Christ that we receive Eternal Life and experience Abundant Life.   

That The Father our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph 1:17 The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is His Holy Spirit.     By receiving the Gospel of Grace Through Faith In Christ Jesus:    → we are Born Again of the Word and Holy Spirit as New Spirit beings    → we become one with the Father    → the Holy Spirit is made known to us    → we understand Him to be the Spirit Of Wisdom And Revelation    → by Him we grow in Grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.         → in the knowledge of Christ and the power of His Holy Spirit we become effective witnesses of the Truth.      This prayer is answered in proportion to our hunger and thirst for righteousness, to the extent that we seek to know and experience more of the Lord.

Yes doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Phi 3:8 So, he wilfully and purposely discounted all his accomplishments so that he could pursue the excellency of the knowledge of Christ.      His winning of Christ was simple but not necessarily easy - he had to give up his Self Righteousness and receive the righteousness by faith.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of the Holy Spirit, and of Jesus our Lord, 2Pe 1:2 Increasing in knowledge of Christ increases the level peace one experiences and increases the flow of Grace.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Pe 1:8 To know Christ is to experience and manifest Christ.     The Holy Spirit are waiting for you to hunger and thirst for Him.     When you do, you will be filled.

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.     To him be glory both now and for ever.     Amen. 2Pe 3:18 What is the source of knowledge of Jesus (who is the Truth)?      1) the Word Of The Lord which is Truth 2) the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit Of Truth.      When we spend time meditating on the Word Of The Lord the Holy Spirit reveals more Truth to us which enables us to appropriate more of the Lord's Grace Through Faith.

Yes, we are supposed to be Ever Learning but that learning should be the knowledge of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Lord.   

How many 'great' men and women were led astray by parents and educators to devote their lives to natural science?   

I use the word 'great' because a society which also worships knowledge will revere such as the prophets of their religion.   

I am not against knowledge of the physical universe.   Such knowledge has enabled man to develop technology and tools to make life better.   

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Pro 1:7 We know there is a Creator God from His Creation.     We know there is a God from The Measure Of Faith that we are born with.      A Fool is a person that ignores the external and internal proofs of God.

The implications of this verse is that the foundation of knowledge should be the fact that there is a sovereign Creator who must be reverently acknowledged.   

If the root and trunk of knowledge is the Creator then the pursuit of knowledge will reveal details of the Creator.   

Focus on the creation apart from the Creator leaves the investigator at a disadvantage.   When knowledge of the Creator underpins the pursuit, the investigator has the advantage of expectation.   

What expectation?   The expectation of order, of patterns, of beauty, of symmetry, of balance.   

It is always easier to find something when you have an idea about what that something looks like.   

Knowledge of the Creator is paramount.   

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.     To him be glory both now and for ever.     Amen. 2Pe 3:18 What is the source of knowledge of Jesus (who is the Truth)?      1) the Word Of The Lord which is Truth 2) the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit Of Truth.      When we spend time meditating on the Word Of The Lord the Holy Spirit reveals more Truth to us which enables us to appropriate more of the Lord's Grace Through Faith.

Jesus Christ is our Creator.   

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Col 1:16 By preincarnate Jesus all things were created and they were created for Him Gen 1:1 Rev 4:11 Luk 12:32 Heb 12:2 Everything belongs to Christ Jesus, by creation firstly, and by redemption secondly.      To bow before His lordship and to receive His redemption is to be accepted by Him Eph 1:6.

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Rev 4:10 Those who have been redeemed and rewarded cast their honour back upon Christ Jesus who is creator, saviour and their very life.      The omnipresent Holy Spirit cannot be seen and He cannot be contained on a throne.     Christ Jesus is the image of the Holy Spirit.     He sits upon the throne of the Holy Spirit Majesty.

How many investigators, seekers of knowledge, missed the most important discovery - the discovery of Christ Jesus as Creator, Saviour, Lord and King?   

This is a woefully sad reality.   

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mar 8:36 Eternal Life or the span of a man's life?     no comparison.
