The mysteries of the Bible, so far from being an argument against it, are among the strongest evidences of its divine inspiration. If it contained no account of God but that which we could
comprehend; if His greatness and majesty could be grasped by finite minds, then the Bible would not, as now, bear the unmistakable evidences of divinity.
God has given in the Scriptures sufficient evidence of their divine authority.
His own existence, His character, the truthfulness of His word, are established by testimony that appeals to our reason; and this testimony is abundant.
True, He has not removed the possibility of doubt; faith must rest upon evidence, not demonstration; those who wish to doubt have opportunity; but those who desire to know the truth find ample ground for faith.  
We cannot by searching find out God. To minds the strongest and most highly cultured, as well as to the weakest and most ignorant, that holy Being must remain clothed in mystery. But though Clouds and darkness are round about Him: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne. Psalm 97:2
It is impossible for any human mind to exhaust even one truth or promise of the Bible. One catches the glory from one point of view, another from another point; yet we can discern only gleamings. The full radiance is beyond our vision.   
God intends that to the earnest seeker the truths of His word shall be ever unfolding.
