"Spiritual knowledge" means...🤔
It refers to Gnosticism.

✳️What is Gnosticism...🤔
(The Bible states that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and appeared in the flesh...
...In Gnosticism, Jesus is interpreted as merely a prophet or a spiritual being without a physical body.
Furthermore...
Gnosticism has also influenced the modern New Age movement.)
..."Knowledge" comes from the Greek word "gnosis"...
This is the origin of the name of the heretical movement Gnosticism.

Verse 21.
"Some have become so engrossed in it that they have strayed from the faith.
Grace be with you."

Heretical teachers have indeed emerged from within the church...
...
✳️...The former Unification Church, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses...
...Balance is important in the Christian church❗️.

Faith, if it is only knowledge, will lack the power of the Holy Spirit.

Furthermore, spiritual bias makes one more susceptible to being deceived by evil spirits (gnosis).

...Especially in these end times, we must be cautious❗️

...Spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit is necessary.

Let us uphold the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the very end.

Shalom 😃
