Knowledge Is Light And Ignorance Is Darkness by RealJesusPikin: 4:58pm On Jun 01, 2023
According to John Tyndall, “Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own immediate boundaries”. Knowledge is the light that shines in our minds and causes creativity, development, growth, civilization,awareness e.t.c. The word used for light in Greek is the same word used for knowledge. The light is from this which means both light and metaphor for knowledge. Knowledge is the only power that dispel or wipe out ignorance, just as light drives away darkness. The solution to every problem in life is knowledge. As light over power darkness, so knowledge over power ignorance.

The gap between African and the developed world is simply (knowledge) light. It is knowledge that empower man to dominate both living and non – living things which are bigger and stronger than man. From historical, scientific, medical to geographical discoveries man has been able to enjoy this earth to the level he could have knowledge of, while dominance of ignorance has led to problems such as disaster, diseases and the likes.

The same word used in Greek for ignorance is also the word used for darkness. Darkness is skotia, meaning both darkness and the metaphor for ignorance. Ignorance is therefore darkness. To say someone is living a life of darkness, it means the person has not gotten light to lighten his/her path of life. It also means the person lack knowledge which is light.
God entrusted the earth in our care to manage (Gen.1:26-28). Without knowledge we can’t fulfill that responsibility towards God, ourselves and the earth. No one was created by God to live in ingnorance. Living a life of ignorance is like living in a house without light for a whole day, due to lack of light (knowledge) you will not be able to cook, eat,read or move about freely, the whole day will be fruitless. When a Christian walk in darkness he/she will experience failure, restrictions, limitations, poverty, disappointment, lack and can never go forward in life. Hosea 4:6 “God said my people perish due to lack of knowledge (light)”. William Ellery Channing said “Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance”.

The love of God for us


John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.


When Adam sinned, he lost the direct access he initially had with God. (Genesis 3) God decided to send his only begotten son (Jesus) to pay the price for our sins on the cross of calvary because of his love for us. When Christ resurrected, he restored all privileges that we once had and brought redemption to us all. All we need is to believe that he died for our sin and has once again granted us direct access with God. No longer through an intermediary! (Mathew 27:50-53).

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If our earthly parents care so much for us, how much more our father in heaven! (Luke 11:11-13). God’s love for us is infinite. He has promised to supply all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philipians 4:19).


Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, I accept and acknowledge you as my personal lord and savior. I sincerely ask that you forgive my sins. Come into my life and pour out your spirit on me. By faith, I receive the promise of the father, which is the holy spirit. (John 14:16) I thank you for the price that you paid for me on the cross of calvary. Thank you for my redemption. I pray that your power, grace and favor will abide with me now and forever more. Amen.

Some will then tell you that you will die if you eat the fruits of trees of knowledge of good and evil, and despite reading how long Adam and Eve lived, most will believe it killed him.

Nonsense.

When you refuse to study history and are content on spouting nonsensical gibberish that's without merit, coupled with the fact that you seem to have a complete and utter warped understanding of African history.

Africans invented all the better things in life.

This is from where you ought to have begun.

It's pretty simple, we MUST bin all these foreign extremist ideologies and concentrate our focus on reality.

If knowledge is light and darkness is ignorance, what is “belief”?
You “believe” what you don’t “know”, is that not ignorance?
Re: Knowledge Is Light And Ignorance Is Darkness by Amujale(m): 7:55pm On Jun 04, 2023
No, Knowledge isn't light and ignorance isnt Darkness.

Stop it!

Knowledge, is knowledge.

Ignorance, is ignorance.

It's important to note, outside of 'Light' & 'Darkness' in the physical sciences being the opposite of one another, there's no other real kind of comparisons that exist out there.

These foreign extremist ideologies are making a mockery out of you. Imagine the nonsensical gibberish your pushing.
