The problem with "knowledge" of course is that it is very much personal (individual).
So, and as the "public education system" and the "mass media" clearly shows, "collective" (shared) knowledge caters primarily to the lowest common denominator!
Quoting: wirelessguru1Actually, Knowledge Of God's Will, Being Enabled To Live/Keep HIS Statutes is not "very much personal" or individual. Such cannot be!
But you don't KNOW that. You offer conjecture.
Give your life in humble surrender Unto The Father and you will be Brought Into and Enabled to Live In HIS Accord.
God IS Constant and Never Changing.
You might have different timing, location, circumstances; but when 2 Born-Agains compare notes about their witness, What We Have Known and Seen Of-HIM in our lives; it is like meeting a cousin you've never seen at a family reunion. You each KNOW facts and mannerisms about your Grandfather, for example...
Nothing in the way of "individual Truth" about God at all...
There is no "secret" this or that. God IS Constant and never changing. I KNOW The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to be just the same as any Apostle, Disciple, or other Born-Again who can witness Ezekiel 36:26-27.
Lots in Scripture about those who presumed upon HIM.
The foolish virgins, those Jesus Witnesses are "workers of iniquity", Mother Mary of whom HE Said, "Who is my mother to ME?" when she presumed...
The ignorance of the repliers and their lack of assent, inability to grasp my witness does not matter. Many read here and offer no comments, but seek in the Scripture and consider the witness that has been given.
Any who witness HIM to those of the world, or even the Laodicean "church", are greeted with derision and shunned. Such is the way of carnal-Christians, and the world HE Tells us will hate us for Loving HIM...
Jesus Witnesses in matt 13 of Knowledge being increased:
11. ...Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
The Way Unto The Father is via your heart.
If your heart cannot consider itself to be wretched and worthless without HIM Guiding your life, then such proves you are among them who Jesus Says cannot understand.
Certainly no sinners or PureHearts in or among this crowd. Those 2 extremes are the only Christians I have ever seen able to manifest their hearts Unto The Father.
Oh well...
Must remember that God's Will Is Always Perfect!
"You are what you are, and you ain't what you ain't", to quote John Prine.
