ACC ~ Romans 11 v34

THE NATURE OF CREATURES. ORIGEN: This refers to creatures, but the other members of the Trinity are excepted because they have nothing in common with the nature of creatures. COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

GOD’S KNOWING NOT MEASURABLE BY US. AMBROSIASTER: It is clear that only God knows everything and it is only he who lacks nothing, because everything comes from him. No one can understand or measure this knowledge, because the inferior cannot comprehend what is superior to it. Jewish believers could not understand that the salvation of the Gentiles could be God’s plan and will.
