Thanks for the explanation.It basically boils down to that kind of knowledge having a very high - if not absolute - certainty of forever damning all who come to know it.
There is a reason that God requires us to walk by faith in mortality - for that is what mitigates the effects of the Law upon us.
If we come to know God with a surety - meaning that we no longer live by faith - then there would be no justification for us if we were to ever decide to operate contrary to that knowledge.
Unless you are ready to obey every single commandment from God - never wavering - never once violating the Law or committing sin or succumbing to weakness - then you would have no excuse when God takes your accounting.
Any "slip" would cause the full effects of the Law to come upon you and you would be damned forever.
This is why the Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died for us - He took upon Himself the penalties of the Law so we would not have to - if we had faith in Him and repented of our sins.
This is why we are not required to know all things in order to be saved - but rely on the merits and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is why there are many things that we will never come to know in this life - for that knowledge would defeat the purpose of mortality and damn us.
Personally it's just the opposite for me. I can't imagine my not spiritually opening those doors of knowledge about God. I find it as a way of having Him as a reality in my life. When is comes to God, a person can have knowledge, faith and grace as they open their hearts to the Divine. I've seen how all of that enriches one's spiritual journey.
