Secret Things of God

[Ceridwen]

"The secret things belong to the Lord our God." Deuteronomy 29:29. I think it is inappropriate to ask the question "What might those secret things be?" Obviously they are reserved for God and only God; if he wanted us to know what they are, or even speculate about what those might be, then they would not be secret, and they would belong partially to us rather than entirely and exclusively to him.

We must accept that there are secret things, but not attempt to probe into that secret place, but only to believe the things revealed: "The things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." Deuteronomy 29:29. What is your approach to this issue? Thanks!

Possibly. When ones desire to know more leads them to try and look behind the 'veil' so to speak you are lead into more esoteric and occult practices. Once this is done it's hard to just go back to looking at the 'veil' and pretending you didn't get a glimpse of what's behind it.

When God shuts His mouth, so should we all.
