The gospel teaches people to believe, which is to fully entrust their lives to Jesus

and to repent, which in context is to turn to Jesus for all needs and knowledge.



Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;



10 When wisdom enters your heart,

And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

11 Discretion will preserve you;

Understanding will keep you,

12 To deliver you from the way of evil



Discretion, a result of wisdom, will keep people,

from listening to the serpent, who tempts believers

with a source of knowledge of good and evil.



There are plenty of data-bases, be it popery, Christian denominations, bible colleges,

private sources like CARM and those who produce systematic theology.

All these sources have different interpretations.

God isn’t one of confusion, therefore there can only one meaning to what has been revealed.





There is no easy way out by seeking the opinions of MAN,

as it leaves you spiritually blind like Adam was,

who sought knowledge of good and evil elsewhere.



From God’s mouth comes knowledge and understanding,

which requires diligent seeking, as God reveals precept upon precept.



Are the purveyors of knowledge of good and evil responsible

for deception and the multitude of opinions in Christianity



or are those, who preach a gospel, which tells people not to totally rely on God?
 
Mat 25:35 - For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Mat 25:36 - Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Mat 25:37 - Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave theedrink?
Mat 25:38 - When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Mat 25:39 - Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Mat 25:40 - And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.​

Is it wrong for the needy to rely on others, if those others are doing God's work? It would seem foolish and against Jesus' teaching. What about relying on others for knowledge? It seems God gives gifts to some, of which the benefits are to be shared.
