    1. "We can't know the mind of God".

      That's quite specifically an admition that not only do we not know, we can't know.

      "God works in mysterious ways"

      If the way is mysterious it obviously implies we are missing information.

      "You need to trust in Him."

      If you knew the facts you would not need to trust.

      "It is not for us to know."

      Clearly states once again that not only do we not know, we can't know.

      Really, do I need to break the rest down? Sorry John Myste, you're just wrong.

    2. Except they're all saying, "I know God is behind it all," when He clearly isn't.

  2. When I don't know, I say, "I don't know. Let's see what it says about that in the Bible."
