Subject: [TruthTalk] POLYANYI Spirit of
OBTUSE vs Spirit of Truth
Careful Kevin you touch their idol and you will be
relegated with me and my
Shirley Temple curls - along with the scowl,
concordance, and topical Bible :>)
You'll have the Epicureans and the LDS on your
case.... but you can count it joy
to suffer for the sake of the Lord so it's not all
doom and gloom and Moses made
the same choice - in by faith giving up all the
knowledge of Egypt choosing to
suffer with God's people
rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season
(Hebrews 11:24-27)

The Truth has been THROUGHLY MANIFESTED w/o Polygymy or Polyanyi
in SIMPLICITY!
2 Co 11 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so
your minds should be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another
Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye
have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might
well bear with him. For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest
apostles. But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have
been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
2 Co 1 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the
world, and more abundantly to you-ward. For we write none other things
unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall
acknowledge even to the end;

VINCE SAYS I never heard of Polanyi until this
forum introduced me to his name, however, never fearing to rush in where
angels fear to tread, I'll say
that the short and presumably accurate
sentence above makes little red
flags go up in my little pea brain.
There's nothing there referring
knowledge to God or saying that real
knowledge is rooted in God and His
revelation. I suspect that, if the
summary above is correct, Polanyi's
logic eventually leads us to
"nobody's grasp of reality is any better
than anybody else's grasp of
reality, therefore nobody's knowledge is any
better than another's
knowledge." If Polanyi uses this to conclude that
the poor certitude of
our own knowledge is a good reason to root
ourselves in Christ, then he
must have been a wise man. On the other
hand, if he uses this to promote
moral relativism and ecumenism, then he
had no wisdom at
all.
