Because many people think that God has one knowledge, and we have another. But this is absurd. If we had knowledge other than God's, we could not use this knowledge. Moreover, the very ability to think exists in us because, according to the words of St. John of Kronstadt, we are, as in the air, in the Divine mind. The divine mind gives us the ability to think, gives us an atmosphere for thoughts.

Without this atmosphere of the Great Mind, no one would be able to think, to think at all. The Lord gives everyone life, breath, thought, and reason, and He is truly the Existing, the source of everything. But the process of the Lord's thinking is fundamentally different from ours. How do we obtain information? — Most often from the senses. Or some thought directly comes to mind.

— There are two ways to obtain information. A spiritual entity, such as an angel or a demon, usually puts his thoughts into our head or we receive information from the senses. Then we analyze it, comprehend it and put it into the system of our knowledge. But the Lord has a different process of thinking. God Himself is a simple Being, that is, He does not consist of parts, He is not complex, and therefore His thoughts are simple, He knows everything as it is.

Human thought is often wrong, we sometimes take things for something that is not what they are. Well, the crudest example: when a person is drunk, he sees two doors instead of one. But even in ordinary life, people often evaluate each other not as the image of God, not as a real being with good and evil qualities. They look at the interlocutor as an object from which they can get something.

That is, the attitude is deliberately biased. A person, unfortunately, is now most often unable to see things as they really are. I can say that the more a person sins, the less he is able to see things objectively. For example, I am amazed at how people in the world treat the weather. They often say: rains, oh, what bad weather, rains in Moscow.

But in Moscow there is summer without rain - you can imagine what a nightmare! People are unhappy that it is raining. They are dissatisfied with the rain, the sun, at night, during the day, in summer! What a horror! And why? Because because of sin, we have reached an extreme degree of subjectivity. And this happened because as a result of the Fall, the realm of fantasy arose. — And what is bad about fantasy? "Fantasy is not just fiction.

It is the realm of perverted thoughts, which is so perverted that we cannot see things as they are. There is only one way out – to learn to look at the world from God's point of view. Only in this way can we see the real things – to look at everything through His eyes, united with Him. Saints see things as they are. Even the Bible can be understood only by looking at it through the eyes of the saints. And there is no other way, do you know why?

Because how are we going to look at the Bible? With the same fantasy. And therefore there will be as many Bibles as there are heads, or even more, because in one and the same head there can be several more absolutely mutually exclusive Bibles. And you need to look through the eyes of God. To do this, you need to connect with Him. It gives reason. But, on the other hand, we must remember that there are limits to our knowledge.

There are things that we simply cannot go further than because they are incomprehensible. For example, when Anthony the Great asked God: why some are rich, others are poor, why some live long, others little, he received the following answer: "Anthony, pay attention to yourself, and it is not useful for you to know about this, because it is incomprehensible." This is a very important principle. A Christian is humble, he knows to what limit one can know.

It used to be said in Soviet times that the human mind has no limits. Of course, there are limits to the human mind. None of us fully knows even the simplest thing. Can you fully describe this piece of wood? "We can. — Can you give its full state at all levels, for example, at the quantum level? "Well, in time..." Infinite time, right?

That is, it is almost unrealistic for the mind in its current state. It turns out that the human mind cannot comprehend everything and not always. This is what Christian humility consists of: there are things that we can and must comprehend, there are things that we can comprehend, but they are not necessary, there are things that we can comprehend, but we should not, and there are things that we cannot and should not comprehend. I have explained all the characteristics to you.

What we can and must do is that which concerns the salvation of our souls, the correction of our lives, life according to the will of God. It is clear that we can and must do what concerns union with God and the transformation of our lives. There are things that we can know, but we don't have to know them. This concerns knowledge about the nature of things. You can do science, or you can not do it.

There is no sin in this – please, if you are not trying to oppose science to God. This is not a bad thing, but it is not necessary either. You can listen to music, Bach, for example, or you can not listen to Bach, please, both are allowed. There are things that can be learned, but you should never do them. We are talking about evil – it is possible to know evil, but it is unacceptable to do it in any case.

And there are things that cannot be learned and are not worth trying. That is, these are incomprehensible things that reflect the nature, the essence of God Himself, the inner essence, how He lives in Himself. We cannot know this, and it is not worth trying. Now about the mind. You say that God knows everything. What does everything mean? A lot of people say that God knows, of course, everything, but you can hide from Him.
