The Arrogance Of The Ignorant

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 12, 2023

Ignorant people attempt to mask their lack of knowledge through arrogance. Jesus pierced the facade of the Sadducees by pointing to what was written in the Word of the Living God.

“Sadducees came to [Jesus], who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, ‘Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. There were seven ...read more

The Veil Of Ignorance

Contributed by Adeolu Akin-Abraham on Dec 2, 2009

The Dangerous End Of Ignorance

Contributed by Christopher Lake on Mar 22, 2008

Hosea 4:6 Says that God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. What are God’s people ignorant of and why is this ignorance so dangerous.

I.Introduction: Hosea 4:6 is, at least in part, one of those commonly known passages that we never actually took the time to consciously memorized. We just picked it up during the journey.

The Dangers Of Biblical Ignorance

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 20, 2018

We live in a Biblically ignorant society. In many churches the Bible is only given lip service but no serious merit. Knowledge of the Word of God and how it is applied is a matter of eternal life and death.

Knowledge

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 18, 2005

The true condition of the Corinthian believers was that they were still engrossed with human, earthly wisdom. We can spend a lifetime accumulating human knowledge and still not learn how to have a personal relationship with God.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Knowledge is exploding at such a rate—more than 2000 pages a minute—that even Einstein couldn’t keep up. In fact, if you read 24 hours a day, from age 21 to 70, and retained all you read, you would be one and a half million years behind when you finished. How can it be, ...read more

Ignorant By Choice Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 25, 2011

Ignorant Christians do not generally have an intellectual problem, they have a spiritual problem. Let’s evaluate ourselves in light of three questions suggested by the text of Hosea.
