KNOWLEDGE INSUFFICIENCY
KNOWLEDGE INSUFFICIENCY
Since "for lack of knowledge " my people are destroyed, according to Hosea 4:6, then, people acquiring adequate knowledge would seem to be an ample remedy to avert such destruction.
Of course, the German Jews, Polish Jews, and the Japanese are, and were, both very knowledgeable people, technically and scholastically, but millions of Jews were gassed by the Nazis. Similarly literally hundreds of thousands of Japanese were bombed by two atomic bombs in the Second World War, by the United States of America's efforts to end that calamitous disputation of arms.
So knowledge does help, but is not sufficient. More is required. "Over every Lord of knowledge there is one more knowing," it is said in Qur'an 12:76.
Thus, those who also seek or rely upon the Grace of God for their sufficiency may know something extra.
Glad that I know God personally!
