Do christian values include forbidding knowledge for the sake of folklore?

Answer 1

yes, that's one drawback about faith. the faithful aren't supposed to question values(folklore) set by religion. when people question then the answers become forbidden knowledge.

Answer 2

Christians values include forbidding knowledge for the sake of appealing to its followers and gaining conversions.

wow i have a pretty good answer for u actually..my answer is from a similar question that was proposed (some may not make sense because I was answering someone elses question):

OMG..don't you all see that having so many different versions of the Bible indicates a corrupt religion? Many authors, editors, revisors, etc. of the Bible only changed/deleted/added verses to appeal to Christians so they would remain faithful (in other words through lies) and to appeal to people who are interested in converting (the same way). Converting through lies and putting in what people WANT to hear is corrupt. For all we know, the all-loving peaceful Bible could have had some ugly verses that were deleted or replaced with more peaceful ones so that Christianity could not look like a culprit or evil religion in the future. CORRUPTION!

An imperfect, flawed religion indicates that it is disqualified as being the true religion.


When you said, "I think people are seeing the question they want to asnwer, not asnwering what has been asked..."

Well, thats kind of like the Christians changing the Bible into what they want their religion to be like (aka allowing more freedoms, making bad deeds seem less impactful, etc.), not seeking the truth or caring about what is really meant for them because it could have defamed Christianity.

Answer 3

Christians are followers of Christ. That is there focus and those are their values.

Christians are also people who may or may not be interested in folklore, forbidden or not.

Most of us live in two belief systems: revelation and science. Do be surprise if Christian do something unexpected. The only restriction on Christians is 1Cor 10:23-24.

Answer 4

Some knowledge is not worth knowing except when it aids in fighting evil. Plus, some knowledge people cannot be trusted to handle properly.

Most knowledge, though, especially scientific, only reinforces the validity of the Bible.

Answer 5

Jesus' values were to promote learning and to respect individual free will of the soul and its ability to judge right from wrong.Ergo no knowledge is to be for ever forbidden. Some knowledge might be withheld until one has the perspective to understand it. That is the meaning of the saying that one does not put old wine in new wineskin, or new wine into old wine skins. This is advice for teachers, to aid them in the process of enlightening their students.

Answer 6

1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for attaining wisdom and discipline;
for understanding words of insight;

3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
doing what is right and just and fair;

4 for giving prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young-

5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance-

6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools [a] despise wisdom and discipline.

Answer 7

Depends... Some of my fellows are simply too uncomfortable going outside of what they grew up learning.

I for one enjoy deconstructing the doctrines of men and ridding myself of the distractions they cause. I enjoy pure worship of God. God gave us a brain and intended for us to use it.

God is not a God of magic and superstition. He is a God of order. He created this universe to follow certain laws that over time were discerned using science.

Some of my fellows forget that. I suggest that people read about Isaac Newton. A great scientist and believer.

Answer 8

No.
Christian values include a deep respect for knowledge and for learning.
Also a deep respect for others.
But mostly, Christian values include a deep reverence for Jesus Christ, His wisdom, and His teaching.

Answer 9

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Answer 10

We are to fill our minds with the things of God
