FOLLY OR KNOWLEDGE
Prov 14:18
18 The simple inherit folly,
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
NIV
Back to opposites between those who know God and those who refuse to know him. Although those who refuse to acknowledge God and his power, refusing to accept him as the creator of all things, the author of the Bible, and the Savior of mankind, think they are the intelligent people of this world, are actually the simple of silly ones. All they trust in the wisdom of mankind will prove to be an absolute folly. How can mankind provide any answers to life, the beginning of it, or the end of it? How can mankind prove any real answers to the beginning of the universe of the end of it? How can mankind prove anything that it does not actually experience? Even then it can merely record its experiences such as gravity, which was established by God. True mankind might invent some mechanical device to make its life easier, but that is only because its knowledge has been established by God. God created mankind with cognizant thought and the ability to use that which he has established for their use. But instead of acknowledging God, they give homage to man who declares their heritage comes from apes and before that some primordial slime. All their thoughts are simply and will result in folly. But the people who see the real truth and accept all that God has declared and have accepted his Son as their Savior will be crowned but in this life and the one to come with true knowledge. They will see the truth of the beginning of the universe, the beginning of mankind and they will know all about the end as well. God has revealed his plan to them, which is the best true knowledge there is to have. If a person does not know where they come from or where they are going, it only makes sense they can only wonder in circles with no idea of what to prepare for. They lives are simply void of purpose and are filled with silliness. But the person who knows God has the knowledge if his past and the knowledge of his future do his life is spent in purpose and preparation. The children of God know him, they have true knowledge.
