There are known knowns, i.e., your favorite color, your mothers name, where you grew up, etcetera (things you know). And there are known unknowns, i.e., a stranger's middle name, whether or not you can drive a stick shift, your recalling experience in your mother's womb, etcetera (things you know that you don't know). But there are also unknown unknowns, these are things you're completely blind to, things you don't know anything about, things that aren't in your scope and aren't on your radar (things that you don't know that you don't know). JESUS said to HIS Disciples, "It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power." Some things are just not for us to know and we need to make our peace with that reality. There are a *plethora* of things I don't know about GOD, and probably won't know until I get to Heaven. Many people scoff at Christianity because they simply don't know certain answers. Oprah Winfrey stated that she doesn't believe JESUS is the only way because how would it be fair for GOD to send people to Hell who've never heard of HIS SON, JESUS? Maybe that's an unknown, unknown. Maybe GOD sends HIS angels to those who've never heard the Gospel, giving them a chance to choose eternal life before they die. Maybe GOD has given this answer to certain servants of HIS across this globe. I honestly don't know. But I absolutely *refuse* to disbelieve GOD all because of something I don't quite understand. I refuse to allow my unknown unknowns dictate my faith. There are certain mysteries of GOD, and *THE LORD'S DISCRETION* will be the determining factor in who knows what. Amen. 

How can it be? 

The Great Mystery Of Godliness

1st Tim. 3:16: "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
