& thus the statement that if you double the voltage across a
metallic conductor you'll double the current through it is "knowledge
falsely so called? We wouldn't be using the internet if we'd waited for
the revelation of God for the necessary science & technology. It might
sound great to get all understanding from divine revelation, but God has
chosen to gift us the gifts of senses & brains & expects us to use them.
Of course we can also misuse them, as we can any other created thing.
Gordon Brown's statement about _gnoseos_ in I Tim.6:20 is
correct. KJV's use of "science" is now misleading, & even the
conservative NKJV has "knowledge" here.
