My Mother is 40 and I am 31 (Part 2)

NB: This part 2 which means you will be able to understand what it is all about if you read part 1. You can read it below or simply Click here.

Many of us don’t know many things but we don’t want to admit it. We give ridiculous answers to questions that we would have done better to own up that we don’t know. I have listened to some debates where atheists and people in some religions try to discredit the Word of God. I once listened to a debate between one Christian defending the resurrection of Christ against a Muslim rebutting it saying that Christ wasn’t even crucified in the first place. I also listened to one time believer turned atheist. The answers these critics of Christ gave were as ridiculous as me saying that I was 31 and my mother 40. They are like most of the internet search engines which will give you results (read answers) for any search you make regardless of how irrelevant the answers are.

So much for digressing! There are many things that I don’t know—and my case is not unique. What I learnt is that if you asked me a question about what I don’t know, I will tell you I don’t know even if by so doing you may call me ignorant. Meanwhile, I will tell you what I know. The story of the blind Bartimeus is typical in this case. He was asked so many questions some of which he didn’t have the answers for. Though he didn’t have the answer to something that was real, it never took away the reality—the fact that he received his sight (see John 9).
