What would the concept be called that the peasant in the field has access to the same knowledge of The Truth that the academic does?

Tranquil Bondservant · Jan 21, 2023

I can't help but think that The Lord has made us all equal in a sense. That yes, the academic is able to go more in depth as to why the truth is, but the peasant in the field is also able to understand the truth in the same manner and capacity that the academic is with the same amount of confidence in that truth. That the understanding of what is true is not dependant upon intellectual capacity but that it is recognisable by all of man irregardless of station.

I'm just wondering if this theological concept has a name? and if so are there any resources regarding it?

This is contrary to what Jesus and the Heavenly Father reveal in The Bible and in the Plan and Purpose of Salvation .

Jesus gave praise to the Heavenly Father openly and freely, out loud, thanking the Father for REVEALING SALVATION to the infants, to the uneducated, and
for HIDING SALVATION from the educated ones,
BECAUSE thus it is the Father's Good Pleasure so to do.

It's not contrary, it's in fact the same thing that you've just written. I'm asking for the name of the theological concept that by which all of man has access to the same truth. You can't declare that The Lord made it known to babes but kept it hidden from those who have more knowledge than the babes. It's speaking to pride when it's talking about hiding salvation not the capacity for knowledge.

Now that looks twisted so much it is not really even close to what the Bible Says, what Jesus Says very clearly and specifically.

Give me a reason as to how or why it's twisted. The Bible declares that salvation is available to all man.

While that is true, as Scripture says , in places, it is likewise true, in JESUS OWN WORDS< that the FATHER in HEAVEN HIDES salvation from the educated ones. /BECAUSE SUCH is HIS GOOD PLEASURE so to do./
These are not contradictory Scriptures, as God never contradicts Himself,

and especially it is VERY dangerous to dismiss the very WORDS of JESUS the way you seem to have done.

Mate I created this thread in the hopes of receiving an answer to my question, to ask for what the name is (or if it exists) of the theological concept that the idea that all men can receive the same knowledge of The Truth as one another regardless of station.

I'm not dismissing the words of Christ, Matthew 11:25 is congruent with 1 Corinthians 1:18 and John 9:41. That the reason this is hidden from people is because that they claim they already have the truth and believe & claim that Christ is false because of it. It seems like foolishness to the world but in reality Christ is The Truth and the world can't see it.

Please do not accuse me of dismissing the words of our Lord & God Jesus Christ.

Jesus Own Words Are CLear that this is not God's Way. Hiding Salvation from the educated ones is GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE, Jesus Says Directly.

Can they EVER receive knowledge of Truth ? Yes. This also is clear in God's Word.

I've never heard of any theological explanation , concept, or description of JESUS Words about this. Instead, a lot of theology dismisses this, and claims otherwise, likely or possibly to their own demise ? I don't know why. I just believe Jesus.

Good Day,

Seeing that the meaning of Theology is the science of God the only source we can draw from to make informed conclusions is scripture.

Now you may think...

But Scripture teaches other wise:

Mat 13:10 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says: “‘“You will indeed hear but never understand, and you will indeed see but never perceive.” For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

Edited to Add:

1Co 2:14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

In Him,

Bill

Mate you're missing the point, just substitute the idea of "every person" to those who are saved. The concept is in regards to the seeming irrelevance of academic credentials in regards to the ability to know the Truth verses the ability for the peasant in the field to have the same confidence that a Biblical scholar would have. That those how do not know how to read are able to know the same truth as someone who is in academia for a living irregardless of their ability to read.

I wanted to know the name of the theological concept or if it even exists so that I would be able to learn more about it.

The thieves and prostitutes have better and more sure confidence than so-called "Bible scholars' or religious teachers,

ACCORDING TO JESUS. The theological concept you present goes contrary to Jesus Own Words.

From what I glean of your OP, TB, I'm thinking that the term, whatever it is specifically we're looking for in this case, will reside in the intersection between epistemology and ecclesiology. For now, we might consider the concept of "the Communion of Saints" as a beginning reference that we can analyze and from which we may bring out a finer, more precise definition.

But in short, where available cognizance about the truth of Jesus Christ is the focus, maybe "Illumination by the Holy Spirit" is what you're looking for? If not, we can keep thinking on it.

Is the academic really able to go more in depth? Or, do they muddy the Living Waters? Sometimes I wonder. The Gospel is very simple so all have the capacity to believe, even children.

The closest thing I can think of to this is the concept known as the “sensus fidelium”.

What would the concept be called that the peasant in the field has access to the same knowledge of The Truth that the academic does?
