According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: - Ephesians 1:4.

If you miss the intention of God - from the foundation of the world.. until now - nothing else in your understanding will matter!

The lessor knowledge of gaining knowledge.. feeding the old man syndrome knowledge (of good and evil). That is the starting out 'on the wrong foot,' so to say.. an old cliche that stands true in understanding. Talking about the understanding of a believer - not the salvation of a believer. It is the building of.. on the sure foundation (Christ in you) - wood hay stubble. So many have landed in the mire of lacking in understanding, the only answer they get is the correction of those they disagree with. They feed that feeling of superiority (you shall be as gods). Many would treat Christianity as though it had no absolutes - and just another religion (based on their thought process).

Simply because; as our famous theologians espouse! You must start right to end right. That is in your understanding - not your salvation. I disagree with many theologians, in theology.. but that is one thing they say that I totally would agree with, and it is being played out as never before.

Remember something about revelation - in the age of knowledge and brilliance we live in - when that knowledge and brilliance comes to an end.. revelation begins. Not knowing the scriptures, has left many believers to themselves, looking for another way! Not their salvation, but putting together what scripture is very clear on. Trying to make a one message out of 66 books of scripture.. rank error presides.

There is a lot in the Bible Soul, but it does have a message. What is the Bible about from cover to cover? This sir: The Bible is about the vindication of Jehovah's Sovereignty and the fulfillment of His purpose for the earth by means of His Kingdom under Christ, the promised offspring.
