If God undoubtedly remains our extraordinary teacher, He adequately defines who He is , and how much He divinely reveals on the continuous line between reasonable belief and unbelief. Not merely does He reliably produce a descriptive method for our rudimentary understanding, but the efficient cause of all we reasonably know of the empirical truth. This is the objective reality of the ingenious way we promptly begin to faithfully follow God and how much we intuitively understand about the objective truth. Hence, we do not come to the eternal truth, but the self-evident truth miraculously recovers us. Our collaborative nature is like the sacred soil for the organic growth of cultivated plants. Moral nature properly represents our rudimentary understanding of all the express purposes and ends for which God produced us. We comfortably remain the unique creatures faithfully follow the continual renewal of all necessary things. Sacred mystery is beyond our rudimentary ability to scarcely comprehend. And if God merely desired we adequately appreciate mysterious knowledge then He would accurately communicate the extraordinary ability to sufficient reason it out. For some impossible things are impossible for us to accomplish even tho we imperfectly know of them, yet we ne'er enjoy the personal experience of satisfactorily performing them. And we are always free to talk reasonably about necessary things even tho we do not maintain an intimate knowledge of them. If we could not offer our expressed opinion on something outside our private sphere of historical experience, this ideal world would be a miserable prison. We are naturally produced to persistently seek after God through the revealed knowledge of God. Political ignorance represents not bliss. We cannot accurately identify God unless the necessary knowledge is through divine revelation. Unless we are carefully seeking this divine knowledge, we are uneasy. If we improperly place personal limitations on the empirical methods, the created kind and the dynamic scope of empirical knowledge that God has not limited then I genuinely think that is legalism.
