"To acknowledge that we cannot fully comprehend the great truths of the Bible is only to admit that the finite mind is inadequate to grasp the infinite; that man, with his limited, human knowledge, cannot understand the purposes of Omniscience. SC 108.1"
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord."
Isaiah 55:8 states God's thoughts and ways are different from human thoughts and ways. This directly supports EGW's point that human knowledge is limited and cannot fully understand the purposes of Omniscience.
"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"

The apostle says, “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” Hebrews 3:12 . It is right to study closely the teachings of the Bible and to search into “the deep things of God” so far as they are revealed in Scripture. 1 Corinthians 2:10 . While “the secret things belong unto the Lord our God,” “those things which are revealed belong unto us.” Deuteronomy 29:29 . But it is Satan's work to pervert the investigative powers of the mind. A certain pride is mingled with the consideration of Bible truth, so that men feel impatient and defeated if they cannot explain every portion of Scripture to their satisfaction. It is too humiliating to them to acknowledge that they do not understand the inspired words. They are unwilling to wait patiently until God s…
