The Revelational Knowledge of God

Many today in Christianity frequently talk about having revelation knowledge of God. In a biblically related topic, it is common to find many angles to the same topic. This leaves one with the belief that there is no singular interpretation to any aspect of the word of God. The angle from which the word of God is portrayed can be said to be right if basically it does not contradict known passages of the scriptures but seeks to present it in a hitherto unknown angle. Many outside of the body of Christ have used this diverse presentation of the word of God negatively against the church saying that the Bible contradicts itself, which is not true. It is my aim in this publication to try and shed more light on the "revelation of God" so that people will open up their hearts to the truth instead of debating on things that are unprofitable. Blind people who have to rely on the sense of touch and a guide, to identify things around them. It is impossible for a blind man to accurately describe an object, because of his blindness. At best, they can put across what they believe they have felt by way of touch. If blind men are gathered an animal and asked to describe a specific part they are made to feel, the descriptions given will vary according to the part they touch. All put together, the various descriptions will depict the animal touched but they may not be able to name the animal. Every animal has parts common to them such as the head, body, and legs etc. The varied descriptions they give will nonetheless be correct but not being able to physically see the animal; will lead to some measure of limitation in their descriptions. God reveals Himself diversely to his people and this predominant revelation of God in a particular manner determines the understanding of the one to whom God has chosen to reveal himself to in such manner. These revelations are directly related to His attributes.
