"Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the Key of Knowledge (Jesus): ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." (Luke 11:52) Oddly enough, this thing called pride takes the shape of hate more often than not. If I could express it in a way that could relate to how hate hinders our ability to listen, the verse above captures that expression very well. We that are His children, being new creatures in Him, must be able to get past this; it is not an option for us! The thing about lawyers is that they can argue any point they decide to take; pridefully taking a stand, even if they know that they are wrong; they will take on the false information on the behalf of falsehood, and then make it there own. Where this relates to us that are His children, is when we take false information on to ourselves for the benefit of sin; which means that we try and justify something which we know to be wrong, because we have found a lie that makes it right; which does not really make it right, but because of the pride behind the sin, any truth to right the wrong is not listened to; heard yes, but not received. In the verse that Paul uses to express our weapons of warfare, he expresses the knowledge of God being exalted against. In my Bible I have Jesus written above the Key of Knowledge in Luke 11:52 because He is just that; and the Knowledge that Paul is talking about in 2 Corinthians 10:5 is the present and fragmentary knowledge; which, in case you were not aware is Jesus Christ from the beginning to the end. The Old Testament holds keys to the knowledge of Jesus; yet in the New Testament, He holds the keys!!! Okay; I know you might not have understood what 'present and fragmentary' means, so I will use these verses to explain it: "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; and ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with the fulness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19)
