If this were a serious discussion of anything, one would be inclined to carefully examine the points that DMcG brought out:

-In fact, there are very few groups that he (Jesus) criticised: those who seek
knowledge was not one of them.

-You will of course remember that he DID criticise those who were convinced they had all the answers on God's will.


The point might be made that Scripture not only encourages us to seek out knowledge, it advocates peer review:

Proverbs 18: 15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge, And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

Proverbs 18:17 The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbor comes and examines him.

And another point might be made that there are actually commandments against claiming to have all the answers on God's will.


Of course, this is not a serious discussion, so we will leave those points alone.
