Much is made of mystery by the Emergent folks. Some of them seem to be fascinated with the conversation about truth, but they refuse to go to Scripture when it plainly gives them answers. One of my memory verses for Biblical Counseling really speaks to this:
Deu 29:29 ESV
(29) "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
In other words, there are some mysteries out there. We won't understand a lot of things until we get to meet Jesus face-to-face. This verse tells us that those things belong to Yahweh. However, there are things that are revealed to us through Scripture. Those belong to us and to our children forever that we may do them.
Of course, this verse was speaking about Torah. I don't think that it is a fallacy to extend that to Scripture though. Even if we just stopped at Torah we'd have clarity on questions in the conversation like whether or not homosexuality is a sin.
