KNOWING GOD = vs. = Knowing ABOUT GOD?

IT IS SO PLAIN to see from the numerous postings here on this board = THAT ALMOST EVERYONE HERE = = KNOWS ABOUT GOD.


THE KNOWING ABOUT GOD, comes from Religion, Personal Exposure to Religion, Past Experience with some Religion, or just plain reading Religious Things and Learning the Religious Jargon = that is common among those that = = learn how to TALK RELIGION!


THE INTELLECT CAN LEARN ABOUT GOD, it can pull off some Religious Language; it can learn Many of the Exposés ABOUT GOD, and can seem to OTHERS = that he or she fits right in, without Any Problem.


GOD CAN NEVER be known in the Intellect. For The HOLY SCRIPTURES were written by The Spirit of GOD, through men. There have been GENIUSES Through HISTORY = who have used all their KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD = = TO BE GOD HATERS AND AGNOSTICS. THEY simply Excused Away GOD, and HIS Word, and used the Atrocities BY THE RELIGIOUS = in a feeble attempt = to do so. They have as Blind Leaders = Led the Blind = down the Broad Way that leads to Destruction!


(2Peter 1:20-21) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
(2Pet 1:21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

THEN THERE ARE THOSE, that Know God, from the Heart, the Mind and the SOUL! They leave the TRAPPINGS of that thing called HIGHER EDUCATION, and realize that they will = in this earth and time = NOT HAVE ALL THE SUPPOSED ANSWERS = THAT THE INTELLIGENCIA = CLAIM TO HAVE!

(John 7:37-38-39) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
(John 7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(John 7:39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

THEY KNOW GOD = FROM THE HEART = BY FAITH = because the GOD THEY KNOW = gave then The Faith = that they now have, as a gift of His Grace and Mercy!


THEY KNOW GOD = FROM THE HEART = Because of the Holy Spirit that GOD has given them, AS HE PROMISED = in response to the FAITH IN HIS FINISHED WORK!

THEY KNOW GOD = FROM THE HEART = By the Witness of the Holy Spirit = Assuring them of the Purchased Redemption = And the Total Forgivness of Sins = Past = Present and Future!


THEY KNOW GOD = FROM THE HEART = By the Holy Spirit = as He Leads them to Discern the Difference between = BOTH GOOD =and= EVIL! They KNOW what is SIN and how to Identify SIN=AS=SIN!

(Luke 18:8) I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find = [ True Biblical ] Faith = on the earth?

THEY KNOW GOD = FROM THE HEART = Because they can, BY THE HOLY SPIRIT = identify = THE FAITH = Given to the Fathers = and passed down = BY = THE HOLY SCRIPTURES! They Discern REAL BIBLICAL FAITH = from that Counterfeit = by those Fakers mentioned in = = Jude 1:3-4 = = From the Faith = CALLED LASCIVIOUSNESS!


THEY THAT KNOW GOD = Really Know = THE FAITH = As they are willing to HAZARD THEIR OWN LIVES = FOR IT = and = IT DEFENSE OF IT = = EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH! = AT THE COST OF ALL!


(Revelation 12:11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
THEY THAT KNOW GOD = are even Willing to lay down ALL = at the Cost of ALL = FOR THEY ARE WILLING = TO DIE FOR THAT REAL BIBLICAL FAITH!


(John 6:63-to-66) It is the Spirit that quickeneth; = the flesh profiteth nothing: = The Words that I [JESUS] speak unto you, = they are Spirit, and they are Life.
(John 6:64) But there are some of you = that believe not. = For Jesus knew from the beginning = who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
(John 6:65) And He said, = Therefore said I unto you, = that no man can come unto Me, = except it were given unto him = Of My Father.
(John 6:66) From that time = many of His disciples = went back, and walked no more with Him [JESUS].

THEY "OBEY" GOD!



[James 1:22] You be Doers of The WORD = and not merely = hearers Only = bringing a strong [satanic] Delusion = Upon Yourselves!


[Luke 6:46] And why do you Me [ JESUS ] , LORD [ BOSS ], LORD [ MASTER] and Do Not = = The Things which – I [ JESUS ] –Say?

(Matthew 10:36-40) And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
(Matt 10:37) He that loveth father or mother more than ME [JESUS] is not worthy of ME: and he that loveth son or daughter more than ME is not worthy of ME [JESUS].
(Matt 10:38) And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after ME [JESUS], is not worthy of ME.
(Matt 10:39) He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for MY [JESUS] sake shall find it.
(Matt 10:40) He that receiveth you receiveth ME [JESUS], and he that receiveth ME receiveth HIM [GOD] that sent ME [JESUS].
