God gives you a promise. Even though you now have faulty vision, you will know as you are known. (see 1 Corinthians 13:9-12)

God gives you a promise. Even though you now have faulty vision, you will know as you are known. (see 1 Corinthians 13:9-12)

 

1 Corinthians 13:9, 10, & 12 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect [complete] is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. … 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Some theologians have assumed that this refers to the Bible, and they go further to say the Bible wasn’t complete, but now it is complete. They take this out of context. We will know even as we are known. Known by Whom? By God? Yes. Who else? Satan? Your Aunt Millie? Of course, Paul is referring to God. So we will know as God knows us. That is the completeness that’s mentioned when it says “that which is perfect is come.” We certainly don’t have complete knowledge from reading the Bible. If we did, no one would disagree on the interpretation of the Bible. Theologians often stretch the Bible to fit their theologies, and they deceive many.
