This is a quote from one of my favorite Theologians.

“Many of the questions we ask God can't be answered directly, not because God doesn't know the answers but because our questions don't make sense. As C.S. Lewis once pointed out, many of our questions are, from God's point of view, rather like someone asking, "Is yellow square or round?" or "How many hours are there in a mile?”

Another thing to take into consideration is that the answers to our questions might be rather complicated, and before we can understand the answers, we have to learn several things.

"Several?" I might say, in some cases, "thousands."

Yeah, but God is patient. So he gets me to the right answer, quite possibly after explaining why the question didn't make any sense, or skipping that part, but I'm content with the answer...

until my next question, of course. lol

Sometimes the answer is so simple that humanity is not wiling to accept the answer......Be not removed from the simplicity that is found in Christ!
