For lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6)

However, it must be interpreted in light of all of scripture.

Knowledge will pass away. (1Cor 13:8)

Two go to Hosea and read that, knowledge has not passed away nor will it while we are here, knowledge of the word of God is increasing in the hearts of men and women that thirst and hunger after Rightousness.

Light never washes away light, it causes it to become brighter.



Line upon line, precept upon precept, it always builds and never tears down.

PJ,

I agree, knowledge will not pass away until the end of this age. However, no one will be taking it with them into the next age. I see knowledge as a tool used by the Spirit of God to equip people with Faith, Hope and Love: Things they CAN take with them into eternity.

Sidenote: Such is the achilles heel of Calvinism, there is a disguised temptation to put faith in the tool, rather than the giver of the tool.

You can be sure when a real Christian calvinist gets in a car wreck and is laying in a pool of his own blood feeling life ebb away, he will be calling on the Person of Jesus, Not reciting the 5 points of Calvinism.

Brother,

When a man builds a tower and it starts to lean, a foolish and prideful man keeps building, a wise man tears it down piece by piece even to and especially the foundation, until he discovers the reason for it leaning.

Yes, it could be the foundation. It also could be that a man has built a 'out of balance structure' on a good foundation, a foundation never designed to support it.

Some people build with knowledgeable only, some build with spirituality only, both these will lean on a foundation designed to support only a balanced structure.
