Well it may sound like we are saying two different things, so I'm going to clarify right now my point of view.
I agree that God can and does help us to understand -- what we are ready to understand. Just like Jesus' teaching in parables was for those who would hear and understand. I don't think all of us are prepared in this lifetime to know all, but we should keep trying to find the answers.
Did I make sense?
