The larger questions are these:

Is there something about our thinking we "know God" that creates an oscification of our faith?

Is there something about the truth that we are "known by God" that creates a humility in our lives?

What sorts of thinking enter in that cause us to cease "groping after Him." What does groping look like?

I was not trying to challenge Paul. I was struck by his argument to the Galations. Perhaps we can meet there.
