“If, however, we cannot discover explanations of all those things in Scripture which are made the subject of investigation, yet that is not on that account seek after any other God besides Him who really exists. For this is the very greatest impiety. We should leave things of that nature to God who created us, being most properly assured that the Scriptures are indeed perfect, since they are spoken by the Word of God and His Spirit; but we, as much as we are inferior to, and later in existence than, the Word of God and His Spirit, are on that very account destitute of the knowledge of His mysteries.” Irenaeus, Against Heresies, II:28:2, ANF, 1:399
