Many of us grew up memorizing tongue twisters. "How much wood could a woodchuck, chuck," for example. Or how about the pepper picking Peter? We shouldn't forget about that dear lass that had to sell seashells! I thought of a tongue twister -- a Divine tongue twister as I read Paul's letter to the Corinthians. In the eight chapter of that first epistle he gives us a mouthful. Read this:" Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies. If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know; but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him." (1 Corinthians 8:1-3, NASB95)
Did you get that? "If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know!" There's a lot here about knowledge, knowing, being known, not knowing, etc. There's also somethings here that will revolutionize our understanding of knowledge. Over the next few posts I hope to unravel the tongue twister.
Here's one a kid wrote: "A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk."
