So the Christian "Scheme" seems to be that we will corporately will grow in knowledge of the truth - at least that's what the Bible, but not the Protestants, say.

God is hoping we will grow in the knowledge of the truth...

1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

But a lot of folks are incapable...

2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

The scripture says knowedge will increase;

Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

But obviously not knowledge of God...

Amo 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it

And I suggest, as a mere conjecture, that Our Lord promised that the Holy Spirit would guide, well, someone, into all truth -- though he had many things to say which could not be borne at the time.

But where is the truth??? God says "Thy word is Truth"...

People are turning from the Truth of God's words in droves...You guys think the truth is in your church...God says His words are Truth...

As more and more Protestants turn from the word of God, knowledge will DECREASE in numbers of people who are looking for knowledge, but I believe the quality and depth of understanding and wisdom will INCREASE in those who see history unfolding before their eyes IN THE WORD OF GOD...

I understand Jesus to be the Word. So John the Evangelist calls Him.

Jesus said to those in the upper room, after Judas had left, "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth." You seem to construe Amos to contradict our Lord.

Instead of telling me how very wrong I am, which must get boring after a while (it certainly doesn't do much for me), could you please tell me what you think was going on when Jesus told NOT all his followers but those in the upper room after Judas had left, that that Spirit of truth would guide them into all the truth?
