Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

If someone is not as learned as you, what does it matter? If you spent more time doing God's work, you wouldn't have time to be frustrated with others' lack of faith.
Brother, for you, faith is to be tested. Why doesn't Christ stand before you too, showing the wounds in His hands and side? If He stood before all today, what faith could they have? What hope would there be? Faith is not to be taken for granted but cherished as the substance of things hoped for. The more time you spend pondering these things and listening to God, the less time you will have to condemn others' questions.
Yes lean not on your own understanding, but we shouldn't be blind to what's right before us. God wants us to comprehend what's going on in our world, but also trust in him and his guidence for how to structure our lives. Following his commands will never lead us wrong, but saying "No worries God. I got this one. I know everything about this. You go ahead and sit this one out." is only going to lead to heart ache. The true measure of faith is to have it tested and tried before others and God. A true man of God faces the hell fire and his faith and love of God is stronger for it. The false man of God condems the true man for waivering in his faith for even the slightest moment.
