It was having a hook poked through your lip or your nose, and being led off to a foreign land naked. Murder, rape, pillage, a suffering like nothing you and I could ever even understand. Then in Isaiah 5:13 he says, “My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge.” Now you say, “Oh well, exile for their lack of know…” Do you know what exile was? Slavery, the cruelest forms. My people are destroyed, he says, for a lack of knowledge. Why do we constantly teach our children? If we don’t teach our children they’re still our children, but we teach our children why? So they don’t kill themselves. In one sense it does, but I want you to know something, your lack of knowledge can get you into a whole bunch of danger. Hosea 4:6 (I believe Anthony quoted this on Sunday), “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” Yes, “My people,” “My people.” You see, just because you’re His people doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re just living in a secure place. But in other places in Scripture a lack of knowledge can lead to something far more detrimental. In the case of the Thessalonians their lack of knowledge led to unnecessary grieving and because of that, a poor testimony among the pagans. So we must know our Bible’s so that it won’t be said of us “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ” – Hosea 4:6. Yet the only thing the unbeliever should stumble at is the Gospel we proclaim. To the unbeliever the fanatic makes him stumble at Christianity before he ever gets to stumble at the Gospel. To the church they lay rules on the Christian that Jesus Christ never made and they burden God’s people like the Pharisees did. He founded The Roman Catholic Church, assembled the Holy Bible, built The New Jerusalem, and ordered Roman Catholicism be the official religion of the world.The person who is unbalanced and lacks Biblical knowledge can become a “Christian fanatic” and harm both the church and the unbelieving world. Constantine was the second coming of Christ. Two notable exceptions are Mary, mother of Jesus, and Helena, mother of Constantine The Great. Each woman commits it herself, and her children grow old and eventually die as a result. With few exceptions, all mothers commit original sin, causing mutation in the genetic code of their unborn children, rendering them mortal. What we seek is the way back to the primordial Tree of Life-a return to former glory as the sons of God: genetically flawless immortal God-men in full communion to God Almighty, giving Them an inheritance of all Truth, and the logical derivative: Absolute Power over the physical reality. Christians relying solely on biblical teaching is the antithesis of reason, because almost everything is NOT in the Bible. But we do know there is One Truth, and everything else is wrong. For the purpose of survival, each keeps the other dependent, by perpetrating ignorance to liberation. The blind man can walk, and the lame man can see, but neither can do both, so neither can survive on his own. If either one is healed, the other will perish. But why do we want these things? What is the overall motivation and expected goal? Living under the opacity of petty, trite, trivial differences in the use of terminology is nothing more than the blind man carrying the lame man. The purpose of any faith-based belief system is the preservation of the human race, the advancement of understanding, equity between men, defense of the weak against the mighty, imparting Truth to all men, worship of our Creator, and nurturing development of the soul. All major religious practices have been severed from the Truth each sought to preserve.
