All the knowledge there is?
Hi. It is written in 1 Corinthians 8:1 in the New International Version of the Bible:
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.
What does it mean when it says "We all possess knowledge"? Does it mean we all have all the knowledge there is to know for man, or does it mean we all have some knowledge of things there is to know for man? I hope my question is clear. Thank you in advance for your help.
