Will we know everything in heaven?

In heaven, we'll see clearly (1 Cor. 13:12), but won't know everything. If we knew everything, we'd be God. To see clearly, with far greater understanding, is one thing, to see omnisciently is another. God alone is Creator, we are mere creatures. Only God is omniscient; we are and always will be finite. The popular notion "we'll know everything in heaven" is therefore clearly wrong. When we go to heaven we become glorified humans, we don't become God. The angels in heaven don't know everything (Mark 13:32). Neither will we.

1 Cor. 13:12

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Mark 13:32

But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
