I believe that the Holy Spirit has all the answers, I believe the Bible has all the answers, however, I don't believe any one person has ALL the answers. I believe that you can have all the answers for the problems you face, such as certain pastors can drive out demons, while others are more skilled with helping those of mental insnaity. everyone has a different gift
I think that the mustard seed parable has come true. the birds, the infuences and ideologies, which shape, poison and scratch the branches and twigs they build nests on, have landed since even the writing of the New Testament. Paul even had to rebuke the Galatians.
I believe that if you are "perfect", as in you're not guilty of any tresspass, then you probably haven't had the temptation of them all. like Peter: he was an apostle, a very nice guy, led thousands to Christ, but he was prejudice and didn't realize he was wrong for quite some time. also, I believe that if Scripture comes with a metaphor, it has many connotations, like with the birds. so as we are trees, we reach a point of maturation, but after that is decay; trees are in one environment unless uprooted and replanted, or they grow above it; a palm tree may have to endure heat, but not harsh winters; etc.
so I don't believe anyone knows all. I believe God made us dependant for a reason: He wants us to work together, so He reveals certain things to certain people and He lets those who will see one angle see that angle and those who see another share it until the full shape, the diamond as we are many faceted and 3dimensional, is formed.

None
But There are Tools that help you to find necessary answers so you can make meaningful progress out of it :
1- Math (I know, hard to understand - but give it a try. You don't need to be mathematician -just be creative)
2- I-Ching (disregard things not impress you) : basically it is a simple rules to look at All things in the world - But - it is extremely hard to interpret it for practical use
however - there are quite a few useful interpretation out there !
Cheers

The bible is a series of books written by Bronze age and Iron age human to help them explain the natural world and to provide the comfort becuase they could not control the forces of nature around them.

The Bible is a book of mythology, folklore, and legends. It's a storybook, not a book to base your existence on.

No one book or oracle has all the answers. People may profess to have all the answers, but then they are just blowing smoke out of a particular orafice. The only one who has all the answers is God, or whatever being you worship.

Clearly nothing contains "all the answers" to anything.
The bible does a pretty crappy job on the topic of carburetor rejetting, for example.

Only God has all the answers and no, He didn't put ALL the answers in the Bible. He left stuff out that wasn't important to the human soul and its relationship to God.
