What you don't know can't hurt you - defined! Really??

Idiom title defined: If you do not know about a problem or a misdeed, you will not be able to make yourself unhappy by worrying about it.

Said another way: What you don't know won't hurt you.

Do you trust him?

Really? Let's look at some examples from everyday life in America.

Things you may not know that won't hurt you.

• What time does the Sun rise tomorrow morning?
• What day of the month does the next full moon appear on?
• What will Obama have for breakfast tomorrow morning? 
• Do dolphins cross the equator? 

Things you may not know that can and probably will hurt you.

• Toothpaste tastes good and your kids probably swallow their fair share while brushing, you might be guilty as well. Most toothpaste contains fluoride and on the tube is a warning that reads approximately this way. WARNING: If ingested, an amount equal to the size of a pencil eraser, contact your poison control center. That's true fluoride is a deadly poison and they put more than that amount on the brush every time.
• Exposure to Radioactive Cesium 137 causes heart attacks in people of all ages, including young people. The Fukushima nuclear meltdown three years ago as a result of the earthquake and tsunami has flooded the Pacific Ocean with this deadly radiation and many others ever since, all seafood is contaminated and should not be consumed unless you have a death wish. In the following video a 20 year old college student spent the summer of 2013 surfing in Hawaii, came home for college and had a heart attack as a result of the summer surfing. See video report next, unless you just don't want to know how bad things really are.

• Radiation is twenty times more harmful to people when taken internally into the body when compared to being externally exposed. So why are you still eating seafood? Radiation bio accumulates and becomes more toxic as time goes on.
• Nonstick cookware is awesome and easy to cleanup but did you know everyone in the house should wear one of these when cooking in them. In fact many pet birds that are kept in the kitchen have died as a result of the fumes coming off this cookware during use. Get this free downloadable report from Mercola.com for complete details. Even after using the pictured mask to cook you wind up with these gases in the food you have prepared.

• Nonstick cookware may be your best friend in the kitchen and may actually be your family's worst health enemy. It only takes 5 minutes for non-stick cookware to emit at least six toxic gases. At high temperatures, the coating of non-stick cookware will also break down into a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB, and a chemical analog of the WWII nerve gas phosgene. In particular, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), which cannot be broken down by heat, light, or microbes, have been shown to cause tumors in the pancreas, liver, testicles, thyroid, or mammary glands in animal studies.
• Flying is the safest way to travel. It was prior to Fukushima but it is killing flight crews and passengers today. Review the above video and this article by clicking here.

What you don't know can't hurt you; folks this is why it's called an Idiom. We have covered our physical reality and I think we can safely say what you don't know is very likely going to result in disastrous consequences for us as individuals over time. The knowledge is available but people are not taking time to access it and thereby are passively rejecting the knowledge that could save their lives.

On a spiritual level people are doing exactly the same thing, they are rejecting available knowledge given us in the Bible. When we don't take the time to fellowship with Him and study the Living Word of God we are in fact rejecting what He has provided for all those whom He died for and loves. 

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Our Lord is our only real protection against a world gone mad. He protects those who abide in Him.

John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
