Well, what is Knowledge?

Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include information, facts, descriptions, or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); and it can be more or less formal or systematic.^[1] In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology, and the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as “justified true belief.” However no single agreed upon definition of knowledge exists, and there are numerous theories to explain it. The following quote from Bertrand Russell‘s “Theory of Knowledge” illustrates the difficulty in defining knowledge. “The question how knowledge should be defined is perhaps the most important and difficult of the three with which we shall deal. This may seem surprising: at first sight it might be thought that knowledge might be defined as belief which is in agreement with the facts. The trouble is that no one knows what a belief is, no one knows what a fact is, and no one knows what sort of agreement between them would make a belief true. Let us begin with belief.” (Wikipedia). Now based on this definition, we will continue from the bible. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Job 21:14 Yet they say to God, ‘Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways. Job 36:12 But if they do not obey, They shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge. Knowledge is all that, so don’t leave home without it. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 3:20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew. Proverbs 12:1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold. Proverbs 8:9 They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge. Proverbs 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, When you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. Proverbs 10:14 Wise people store up knowledge, But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. Proverbs 17:27 He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Proverbs 19:2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet. Proverbs 24:4 By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. Isaiah 28:9 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. Proverbs 1:8-9 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother; ⁹ For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck. Proverbs 2:-5 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, ² So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; ³ Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, ⁴ If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; ⁵ Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.
