When you don't know

Tweet

Because I'm more or less busy with home life right now, I've had to cut back re. certain things with work. But I still do take a lot of theological and linguistic questions from people. Sometimes I can be helpful, but sometimes I can't because beside the fact that there are things we don't know and can't really say for sure, there are also other aspects which are simply not or are beyond my frame of study. And hence, I sometimes have to say "I don't know" If I have an idea where to look, I will suggest something. But sometimes even that is problematic. After years of theological training, it can be a healthy thing to admit. Knowing one's limits is a very good thing.
