<p>1:19&nbsp;<i>Because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it to them</i>- &ldquo;Known&rdquo; is Gk.&nbsp;<i>gnostos</i>. This may be a strike at incipient Gnosticism; for Paul says that such knowledge, such&nbsp;<i>gnosis</i>, is showed to people&nbsp;<i>by God</i>. There are only some things which God makes known to us about Himself; we do not have the total truth about God, we see but parts of His ways and hear only a little portion of Him (Job 26:14). Our perception and definition of &ldquo;the truth&rdquo; needs to bear this in mind. Absolute truth claims aren&rsquo;t simply ignorant, they lead to all manner of relationship breakdown, arrogance and deformation of spirituality both in ourselves and others.</p>
