Calvinism emphasizes the limitations of human understanding and the absolute sovereignty of God. The statement "We don't need false cored beliefs to keep the faith when understanding that the unknown is no longer unknowable" implies a degree of human self-reliance and a confidence in our ability to comprehend the unknowable. From a Calvinist perspective, this statement risks elevating human understanding above divine revelation and diminishing the role of God's grace in salvation.
Calvinists believe that human knowledge is inherently limited and prone to error. Our attempts to grasp the unknowable through our own reasoning often lead us astray and distort our understanding of God. True faith, according to Calvinism, rests not on human understanding but on God's revelation and the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
The statement also suggests that the unknown is no longer unknowable, implying that human progress and knowledge have rendered the unknowable knowable. Calvinists would caution against such an assertion, believing that there are aspects of God and his nature that will forever remain beyond human comprehension. The unknowable is not a mere challenge to be overcome but a reminder of God's majesty and our finite nature.
Therefore, Calvinism would respond to the statement by emphasizing the need for humility, reliance on God's grace, and submission to God's revelation. True faith is not rooted in human understanding or the conquest of the unknown but in surrender to God's sovereignty and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.
