Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Every day I make “Christians” Angry Because I call them out for being Biblically Ignorant / Illiterate. They have No Personal Bible Knowledge. They Do Not read their Bible’s and it is Painfully Obvious. They Only Know what they have Heard in Church on TV, on YouTube etc…
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
This Verse is Very, Very, Very Powerful. It is God telling us that People who reject Knowledge God’s Word. God Will Reject. ****NOTE**** This Verse is Not about Keeping the Law. God called the Holy Scriptures the Law.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Condition 1) Verse 18 Is Clear: Everyone who has Not Believed on Jesus, Believed the Gospel Only for their Salvation, is Lost Going to Hell: they are CONDEMNED ALREADY!!! This is what the Bible says.
Condition 2) Verse 18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: (IS SAVED IS GOING TO HEAVEN!!!) Salvation is Belief on Jesus.
The Bible is Not Hard to UNDERSTAND. It is written in Plain Language.
The Gospel Defines Belief in Jesus: Everyone who Believes the Gospel Only for their Salvation without Adding Works to it Will Go to Heaven. (Works are Anything you Add to Salvation. Like Repent of Sin which is Not in the Bible.)
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
People Falsely Think the Word Ignorant, is a Swear Word. They Immediately become Very Angry and Hostile when their Ignorance is Revealed / Exposed, and they are called Ignorant because of the things they say.
People are Generally Very Ignorant. “Christians” are Very Ignorant and Very Easily, Triggered, Offended. It takes Nothing more than to tell them they are Wrong and that they are Biblically Ignorant / Illiterate to Set them Off. They start to Reveal their True Selves. They are Hateful. They Swear at me and even have Threatened to Kill me.
Typical Replies I have gotten Numerous Times: “I Hope You Die Alone the Most Painful Death Possible.” “Where do You Live. I will Shut You Up!
These Counterfeit Christians have Satan Living inside of them. They Hate People Who Know the Bible and who Expose them for their Lies, for their Lack of Knowledge, for being Ignorant. They Hate being Called Ignorant because it is True. and they cannot Defend themselves because they Do Not Know What they are Talking About.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Most People who Attend KJV Only IFB, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Churches are Very Familiar with this Verse and many others like it. This verse is Familiar to a lot of Christians. But It doesn’t Do anything to Drive them to Read and Study their Bible’s Independently.
I was in IFB Baptist Churches for over 10 years. So, I am Painfully Familiar with them. Even in these Very Strict Legalistic IFB Churches Only around 10% Faithfully read their Bibles. None Properly Study their Bibles. What they call Bible Study is to Follow a Bible Commentary. There is Nothing wrong with Reading a Bible Commentary for Reference, but that is Not Bible Study.
You the Bible, the Holy Spirit of God and a Strong’s Exhaustive Bible Concordance / Cross-Reference. This is All you need and All you should use to Study the Bible. Most Bible Commentaries are Corrupt written by Lost Calvinists. People who Call themselves Bible Scholars. Noone is a Bible Scholar. A Scholar is an Expert on a Subject. Not One Person has Mastered the Bible, is an Expert on the Bible.
Jesus had to Explain his Parables because the Disciples wouldn’t understand them. Most of the time he would explain them fully. Other times he would say that he wasn’t going to explain the Parable.
Sometimes when he would teach without Parables the Disciples still would Not Understand. Often Jesus would be upset at them for Not Understanding.
Jesus was upset because they didn’t Understand because they Lacked the Faith Required to Understand. On Some things Jesus would say that it was Impossible for them to Understand because, the Human Mind just could Not Comprehend it.
Mark 9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
They Argued a lot among themselves. Their behavior at times was very Immature. Their Fear of Jesus in the Above Verse was because they were Ashamed of being Ignorant. Ashamed for Not Knowing the things Jesus had Taught to them, the things Jesus Expected them to Know.
They Did Not want to look Ignorant to Jesus. Jesus Frequently Scolded them for Not Remembering the things that he had already taught them. And for Not Understanding things he expected them to be able to Understand.
Jesus was 30 years old when he called the 12 Disciples. I Believe that All of Jesus’s Disciples were at least 30 years Old. Because Jesus did Not Start his Earthly Ministry until he was 30 years Old.
It doesn’t make any sense to me that Jesus’s Disciples would have been younger than him. Because the Reason Jesus did Not start his Earthly Ministry until he was 30 was because 29 was too Young for Jesus to be a Respected Rabbi.
30 was Obviously the correct Age for Jesus to be a Rabbi, a Teacher, that would have received the Proper Attention and Respect. Looking at the Jewish Culture at that time, it would have been hard for a man Younger than 30 to command the Respect and the Attention of the Jewish Population as an Experienced Knowledgeable Rabbi.
The Historical information on their ages is pure Speculation. Very Bad Speculation at that, from Lost people that are Biblically Ignorant. Bible Historians are Not Christians they are purely Academics. I could Not find anything Credible on the Ages of the Disciples when they were called to be Disciples by Jesus.
I will stand by my Belief that Jesus Disciples were All at least 30 years old when Jesus called them. Jesus Called them to be Part of his Ministry. Since Jesus started his Ministry at 30 years Old, I doubt he would have Chosen Disciples that were Younger than himself because they were supposed to be Preachers, and Teachers like himself that would be Listened to.
Many Ignorant Academics have written that the Disciples were mostly a bunch of Teenagers with some being in their Early 20’s. This is a completely unfounded Insane Conclusion Not based on anything Factual.
Luke 2:39 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Mary and Joseph, they were Fearful for Jesus because of his age and Obvious Knowledge and Wisdom. They Knew it would be Very Dangerous for Jesus to Keep Teaching in Public at his Young Age.
The Fact that Jesus Started his Ministry at the Age of 30 is an Indication that he couldn’t have Started his Public Ministry any Younger. Jesus wanted to Start his Public Ministry at the Age of 12 but God the Father Clearly Said No to this. Jesus was Eager to Fulfill his Earthy Ministry that is Clear.
To be Listened to by a Jewish Audience you couldn’t be a child, a teenager or in your early 20’s. A Rabbi needs to have enough age and Experience to be able to Back up what he says. Even Jesus who was 30-33 1/2 years Old during his Earthly Ministry was Questioned for being such an Authoritative Speaking Rabbi at such a Young Age.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
It Brought a Lot of Attention to Jesus that he did not want. The Younger Jesus would have Been the more Attention he would have Stirred up and the More Controversy.
Jesus Starting his Earthly Ministry at the age of 30 was not an Arbitrary Decision by God the Father.
For the Masses to Believe the Truth and to Receive the Knowledge that Jesus had to give through his Preaching and Teaching the Ignorant Masses Needed to see Jesus as a Respectable Rabbi worth Listening to. Lack of Age means Lack of Experience and Lack of Authority to the vast Majority of People.
With Age comes Wisdom, Knowledge, and Experience. Most people give more weight to what someone says if they are Old enough to have been well Educated, and to have had some Experience in Life. It is Really Difficult to Break Through to willfully Ignorant people. The Majority of the People Jesus was trying to Reach were very Stubborn and Ignorant people.
In Luke Chapter 4 Jesus Said, in the Temple, he is the Promised Messiah. Jesus spoke to Ignorant people Lacking Knowledge. He Reads from the Scriptures and Said this is Talking about me.
Jesus’s Earthly Ministry with All of his Amazing Miracles they were Done to Prove that he was the Promised Messiah from the Scriptures. Anyone who was a Witness to Jesus’s Miracles would have Realized that Jesus was the Promised Messiah because they had Learned about the Promised Messiah from the Holy Scriptures.
Being Ignorant and Lacking Knowledge is a Decision. It Happens to Lazy people who Refuse to Read and Study the Bible for themselves. Ignorant People who Refuse to Listen to the Truth.
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
This Passage is Extremely Important. People Falsely Claim that Jesus was Just a common Teacher that He Wasn’t the Promised Messiah, that He Did Not Ever Say that he was the Promised Messiah. Well, Right here Jesus is Declaring Himself God The Promised Messiah.
There is Alot to Digest from this Passage. Jesus went back to his Hometown of Nazareth. He was Rejected. The People Rose up to Murder him. This Anger is From Satan.
Today, Right Now, You will see this same Hatred and Anger in Ignorant People who Hate to Hear the name of Jesus. People who Refuse to Hear the Truth. These People are Willfully Ignorant People.
The below Passage is Exposing, their Lack of Knowledge, the Ignorant Understanding they have of the Scriptures.
John 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
The Pharisees and the Sadducee’s, the Jewish Leaders, Countless People Just Simply Refuse to Listen to Anything that Goes Against what they Already Believe. They would Rather be Ignorant then to Believe on Jesus and to accept The Truth, The Gospel.
This type of Closed Mindedness is an Epidemic Today. People who are Willfully Ignorant Refuse to Listen to the Truth because they are Know it All’s. They Hate Jesus. They Have Made up their Minds to Reject Jesus.
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
This Verse is so Powerful and the ones following it too. They show the Boldness of the Blind Man that Jesus Healed and his Complete Frustration with the Pharisees and the Sadducee’s. He directly Called them Out for being the Frauds and Liars that they are.
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
False Teachers are from Satan. They Immediately Shut Down the Truth and Get Angry, Hostile because they DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR THE TRUTH.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Mark 9:30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. 31 For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. 33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? 34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, 37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. 4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. 5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord. 11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. 12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. 13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery. 14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall. 15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The Lord liveth. 16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place. 17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. 19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Hosea Chapter 4 is a Warning from God about being Ignorant of the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, God’s Holy Word. In it God is Telling Everyone if You are Willfully Ignorant and You Refuse to Read and Study the Scriptures You will be Judged for it. This Warning is to Both the Saved and to the Lost. Saved People Christians are Commanded to Read and to Study the Scriptures. God Does Not Want Christians to be Ignorant.
