We Will Get The Answers When We Get To Heaven.

Many of our intellectual problems and difficult questions can be
pleasantly and reassuringly stored here:

"The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things
revealed belong to us and our children forever."
Deuteronomy 29:29

And . . .

Regarding some questions the Lord Jesus said:

"It is not for you to know."
Acts 1:7

And . . .

Not even the great Apostle Paul had all the answers:

"Now I know in part" __Paul
1 Corinthians 13:12

We will get the answers to our difficult questions when we get
home to Heaven. Meanwhile we wait patiently and we "Have faith
in God"__ The Lord Jesus (Mark 11:22)

Thoughts?

We do ask questions in which many only know in part and possibly in the full. It is only God that will reveal the whole to us in a need to know answer and other parts we could never understand until we are with Him in the New Jerusalem on that glorious day after Christ returns. IMO, once we are with Him I don't think we will even remember the questions we had as we are before the Lord in all His splendor.

“It’s the glory of Kings to search our a matter.”

“In all that you get, get understanding.”

“Let Him who boasts, boast in this, that he understand Me.”

“If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives generously.”
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests”

There is a huge amount of understanding available in matters of God if we will pay the price. We might understand only partly, but Paul understood enough to write most of the NT. That’s a LOT of understanding we also can have.

Embracing ignorance (we don’t understand, oh well) as a way to live is, apparently, is not something God finds to be good. Faith based on understanding the truth is much more pleasing to Him.

But none of what you wrote in any way whatsoever, voids out the following, right?

"The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things
revealed belong to us and our children forever."
Deuteronomy 29:29

And . . .

Regarding some questions the Lord Jesus said:

"It is not for you to know."
Acts 1:7

Best Regards,

Depends upon what one emphasizes. Because many do not understand much, they lay weight on things they don’t know as being “secret” instead of they just don’t understand what others do. IOW, it begs the question what is “secret” and since what truly is belongs to God, does He reveal these things and to whom and why.

This fact remains: (for all who accept the Holy Bible as being inspired by God)
There is a category of "things" that is, areas of knowledge, that are SECRET and
known ONLY to God.
How do we know? Because the Holy Spirit said so (in Deut 29;29)
Here is one example:
Regarding future times and dates, the Lord Jesus said clearly
"It is not for you to know."
Acts 1:7

Best.

Those are usually the very things people insist upon discussing like the Trinity, the second coming, the relationship between the Son and the Father. The things they could know if they pursued it, they don’t like how our choices affect God’s choices, what does God expect of us, how is faith built.

The following fact remains:
Deut. 29:29 clearly and specifically says that
there is a body of secret things that belongs only
to God. And the compelling conclusion is that He
never reveals those secret things -- otherwise there
is NOT any secret things that belong to God and then
we can remove Deut 29;29 from our Bibles because it
would be teaching a falsehood.

I’m not sure you can make the case that he never reveals some things because there is a lot that is a “secre to some but “revealed” to others. So how would any man know what he has revealed to others?

Is God not allowed to tell SOMEONE this information lest He no longer have a treasure of secret things? Will you limit Him by the definition of words? I think Jesus would ask what difference does that make to you? If God wants to reveal His secrets to Hazel Smith or Jake Tumbolt, what is that to you?
