i was memorizing 1 corinthians 13 for school, and you know how it is when you memorize. you think more about making sure you remember everything, rather than think about what is really said. In verse 9 and 10 it says "for we know partially and we prophecy partially, but when perfect comes that partial shall pass away."
All of us know partially. Nobody is perfect and everyone guesses and hypothesizes on how the universe was created, and how to explain all these different things that have been around us forever, but we do not know it and we never will fully.
We prophecy partially, and we will keep on thinking up ideas to explain everything until perfect comes. Then alll the partial will pass away and we will know the truth.
I just thought it was cool to share that i could relate it to something like this. Feel free to give negative or positive comments

I agree with you to an extent.
But what is perfect...wouldn't a perfect prophet have to understand biology, physics, psychology, botany, etc...
How could anyone understand everything?
In the end, you are right...we prophesy partial ideas...but who could know everything, really?
Even jesus said that when the seeds die they will then sprout. That is incorrect in a botanical sense.

Amen to that! Sometimes I think my mind is too small to understand all the mysteries of the world. But it is nice to know that someone much more powerful and knowing is in control!
