Do you believe that people can be destroyed for lack of knowledge? Well let me ask another question, Can we have any proof that this is so? Forgive me, but can I ask a couple more questions? Do you believe there is a God? Do you believe the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God? Well here is what the Holy Scriptures said: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" Hosea 4:6 K.

There is nothing more powerful than truth.
Truth is the way forward for anyone; from the child to the adult: from birth to death.
I believe man subconsciously searches for truth.
His whole being seems to tell him truth is the way to go.
But truth is always opposed by the Enemy of souls.
So man is destroyed not merely for lack of knowledge, but the implication is knowledge that does not contain the truth.
All knowledge is not truth.
The ultimate human objective should be to acquire knowledge that is truth.
To acquire knowledge that is uncontaminated and that is the whole truth is not impossible.
It involves our belief system.
It begins with a sincere desire to seek and find out- what is the truth.
One must also believe there is something called absolute truth; and it can be accessed.
But most of all, one must believe or be prepared to believe truth resides in a Devine Being who is accessible to all, On the other hand, knowledge can be classified as two kinds: human and Devine.
The world is bombarded with human knowledge.
God the Creator has made man with the ability to acquire and share knowledge.
The human senses associated with the eyes, ears, and nose; along with the senses of touch and feeling, have helped man in his understanding of his surroundings and to some extent people around him.
As a result, mankind has passed on in some measure, his findings from one generation to the other.
But that is all defined as human knowledge.
Much of human knowledge was and still is divorce from examination by Devine knowledge because of the will of man.
This is the choice that a major part of mankind makes; to his own detriment.
We must include God in all our human activity, if for no other reason than we cannot hide anything from Him, not even our thoughts! Moreover, when we include God in our thoughts and acts, we have access to His Devine infallible Knowledge and Wisdom that would save us from pitfalls or disasters, when we take heed: "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" Proverbs 3:6 (K JV).
Here is a starting point for avoiding falling into the trap of being destroyed for lack of knowledge.
We must believe in God the Creator; Jesus Christ the Son of God; and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is God's gift to anyone who believes and follow His Son Jesus.
Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, no one needs be destroyed for lack of knowledge! "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16.
(K JV).
Jesus is more than knowledge; He is the Truth.
Truth that will endure forever; even when this world passes away.
Therefore, if you have Jesus Christ, and He has you; you will know! You will have His assurance.
You will have the Truth.
You will not be destroyed for lack of knowledge!
