Ecclesiastes 1:18

Eccl. 1:18 - " in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." - I don't want much grief or sorrow, do you? Ok, then forget wisdom & knowledge; forget school. I know what you're thinking, "He's off his rocker"!! The verse DOES say that wisdom only brings grief & knowledge increases sorrows. Logically then, "Ignorance IS bliss." Here lies the danger of taking verses out of context. We are to STUDY to show ourselves approved unto God. We must be careful NOT to twist what the Bible teaches. I just took a verse from the Bible & "proved" that we are to be stupid. This is BAD Theology. Be wary of ANYONE who takes a verse out of context. The Bible makes a great comment about the people at Berea, it says they were "...more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily , whether those things were so."(Acts 17:11). This is why DAILY devo's are so important. To know when Scripture is being misquoted, we must first know what the Scripture says.
