Theologians and academics have failed to put a difference between acquiring knowledge about God and personally knowing God (Jn. 17:3; 1 Jn. 2:4; Titus 1:16). A lack of focused emphasis on this vital issue has poisoned countless volumes of theology to date (Matt. 7:28-29, Mk. 1:22, Lk. 4:32, Acts 4:13, 2 Cor. 4:2). Consequentially, the Priests of the LORD have failed to put a difference between the clean and the unclean (Lev. 10:10, 11:47, 20:25, Jer. 15:19, Ezek. 22:26, 44:23; 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1); neither have they discerned between the living and the dead (Prov. 21:16, Matt. 15:13, Eph. 2:1, Col. 2:13, 1 Tim. 5:6. Rev. 3:1).
This negligence is nothing short of murder (Acts 20:26). Eternity depends upon a real and living personal encounter with the LORD (Jer. 2:12-13). Unadulterated Theology directs the soul into a personal encounter with God at salvation and a growing knowledge of God coming with sanctification as one walks with God in the beauties of holiness. The true utility of the word of God humbles the soul rather than puffing it up (Heb. 4:12-13, Jer. 23:29), because only humble souls do abide and walk with God (Ps. 138:6, Micah 6:8, Isa. 57:15, 66:2). However, when and if Theology is committed into the hands of unconverted men, the divine utility of the word of God is compromised; therefore, instead of humbling the soul, "the knowledge of God" is puffing it up (Isa. 5:21).
"...Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of Him." - 1Cor. 8:1-3
