Bible Question:
It seems to me, that at least during our time on earth, it is impossible to fully understand the nature of God. Are there any references in the Bible that discuss a lack of ability to fully know the ways and thinking of the Lord? |
Bible Answer: Tom Here are some verses that address your question no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun, because, though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it. Ecclesiastes 8:17 There is no searching of his understanding. Isaiah 40:28 My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord... my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past finding out! Romans 11:33 Grace to you New Creature |
