The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29 NASB)
There are questions that the Bible did not answer.
- The Bible did not explain to us eternity and heaven.
- The Bible did not explain to us the mystery of Trinity.
- The Bible did not explain to us the mystery of Christ as wholly God and wholly man.
- The Bible did not explain to us the mystery of free will and predestination.
- The Bible did not explain to us the sovereignty of God and the accountability of men.
We cannot explain too many things to a baby because the baby has limited knowledge infrastructure to receive our knowledge. For example, the language tool is not fully developed in the baby, thus the baby cannot communicate in languages. When the baby grows into a child, he or she will be able to understand more. Likewise it is so with us. We who live in the temporal world, moment by moment, are not able to comprehend God and eternity. We cannot imagine how God can live simultaneously in the past, present and future, and by implication, we cannot understand how free will, predestination and human responsibility may co-exist.
