Do you believe there are some things that we're not "meant" to know?

Question

Which things? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Well, there are some things, but I can't tell you. Unless you can prove you are meant to know. And since no one can prove that, I guess you don't get to know.

But the good news is, "no news, is good news" and "what you don't know, can't hurt you." "Ignorance is bliss."

But, seriously, if the universe has no end, how can that be? And if it has an end, than what is it inside of? And then what would that be inside of? And so on.

Does God measure things in different ways then we do? Is the speed of light actually much slower in far, outer space.
If "black holes" can be so powerful that even light can not get out, are all of our science books just "pulling our leg?" And just what is left at the center of the big bang? If there was a big bang? And if there was a big bang, who cares?

Was Einstein really just an idiot? An everyday, run-of-mill idiot? Or some special kind of idiot? Or the smartest man that ever lived?

Of course some things we don't know don't matter much either.

Answer 2

Children should never know the details of their parents sex lives (at any age, really), or about things they cannot do anything about (details about terrorist acts). It makes them anxious and steals their childhood from them.

I think we have to have some level of comfort with not knowing some things. Like how certain events will unfold. I can make an educated guess how my life will change if I change jobs or move to another city, but I can't stop living because I cannot accurately predict the outcome of every decision. I have to have some ability to trust my best judgment and then trust that I can handle a less than optimal outcome.

It's a good thing that we don't know what other people are thinking all the time. That would be distracting and many times unnecessarily hurtful. I don't need to know what everyone thinks.

I think general knowledge is good. It's necessary to a point. I need to know they laws of the land, how basic physical science works, morality, logic, communications, social science, reading, writing and arithmetic. But there are some limitations. At some point we have to assess what the knowledge is doing for us and why we feel compelled to seek it. I think it's entirely possible to miss out on living life by trying to nail down every unknown.

Answer 3

Yes.

1. How an angel could travel millions of light years in less than one week. (See the book of Daniel).

In our realm, the fastest theoretical speed that a particle could achieve is 3 x10^8 m/s (the speed of light in a vacuum). But somewhere, I recall reading recently that not-so-long ago, a new particle was discovered and its SLOWEST speed was that of light. Still, does not explain that amazing speed of the angel Gabriel.

2. The existence of parallel worlds. That is to say, worlds in other dimensions that occupy the same 'space' and 'time' that our world utilize (yes, I know it sounds contradictory, but I can't put it any better). I do not mean spirits/angels nor another planet in another galaxy with other beings.

Answer 4

Armageddon. Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. Matt.24:36-37.

Answer 5

I believe that there are things that we can not yet comprehend because we can only use a limited amount of our brain. We are at a point in history that we need to get the simple things right first like how to live life,respect others and realize that we need a power greater than us to guide us. Once that happens...after Armageddon... we will probably slowly begin to use more and more of our mind and learn whatever it is we couldn't now.

Answer 6

Some are meant not to know about the 1st earth Age.

Answer 7

Yes, so true.
The day of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is one.

We don't always know why some bad things happen, but what I do know is that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

Answer 8

yes. I believe that we're not meant to know that some people has magic/powers beyond this world because then they'll be call a witch. I believe that we're not meant to know about alieans because it would scare us to know that they exist. I believe that we're not meant to know about our past life because if we do, then we wont be able to let go of it.

Answer 9

yup

there are things that we are just not capable of understanding

like how someone first thought that eating moldy cheese might be a good thing

or who first thought that they could live if they threw themselves out of a plane with a sheet tied to them

or how Gonzales can look the American people in the eye and say he is being honest that he had no connection to the firings

Answer 10

No - there are things we may never know, however the part of your question "not "meant" to know?" pre-supposes the existence of something in control of our knowing or no knowing.
