You can chase the road of the intellectual and you can find what you are looking for. But when you find those answers and you are a beaten, broken, horrified shadow of a person, you will wish you had merely trusted in God and followed the Way instead of demanding every answer for yourself. Faith is the more beautiful, easier road to Paradise.
Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
I prefer the easy way, it's much more fun, peaceful and satisfying. You don't have to give up intellect in order to follow Jesus. The Holy Spirit can reveal wisdom you can't get through the intellect, which can be easily misguided by leaning on incomplete truths.
