Is God Really Omniscient?? by MJBOLT: 7:22pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
The word 'Omniscient' simply means the ability to know everything.if god is all knowing,why did he create lucifer knowing fully well that he will rebel against his master and try to take heaven for himself,which will result in lucifer getting cast unto the earth unleashing unimaginable pain and suffering.

God created an angel with a free will and ability to choose his life course, God did not create him to be a puppet in God's hand 4 Likes |

People say God made man have free will, but if you think about it. Free will shouldn't hamper with Omniscience, either way having freewill or not is irrelevant. God knew Adam and Eve would sin, he knew Satan would rebel. If he didn't know, he isn't Omniscient..It's that simple. If he knew evil would arise because of this and didn't nothing to change it, then that states a flaw in the narrative of his Benevolence. So at the end of the day we're left with accepting either God isn't truly Benevolent or God isn't truly Omniscient. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

The nature of the biblical God contradicts itself. Putting all its exploits into consideration, it's difficult to attribute benevolence, omniscience and omnipotence to it. 9 Likes |

jasonguru:Is it that God had "no choice" than to give freewill despite knowing the end of it? 2 Likes |
Re: Is God Really Omniscient?? by Heathen777(m): 8:45pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
jasonguru: Freewill or not, it's irrelevant to an Omniscient being who knows the end from the beginning. If God knew his creation would sin and fall short, he could've made it such that they weren't capable of sinning. Also, why would God need to test anybody if he already knows what their actions would be? 3 Likes |

XxSabrinaxX:Now, omniscience is generally believed to mean that God knows everything that happens and that would happen. In fact, this belief appears to be strengthened by Isaiah 46:10 which says: "From the beginning I foretell the outcome,And from long ago the things that have not yet been done. I say, ‘My decision will stand,And I will do whatever I please". When God made man be gave man a law as shown in Genesis 2:16-17: "Jehovah God also gave this command to the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.” Now, the scripture tells us that man disobeyed God's command. Did God foresee that, considering Isaiah 46:10? Let's answer that. U following? |

Re: Is God Really Omniscient?? by DavidEsq(m): 9:11pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
XxSabrinaxX:So let's see wat the omniscient nature of God means. we must first answer the question of freewill. When God made man, he gave him the right to choose between right and wrong: Genesis 2:16,17. In fact, based on verse 17, man knew exactly the consequences of acting wrong. How far does this freewill stretch according to God's will? To answer that question, we have to first examine our everyday life. When ur mother tells u not to make friends with boys, do u have the choice to obey or disobey? Let's get this first. |

DavidEsq:I might be missing something, but can you explain the reasoning behind this analogy? |

I would like to think that God is omniscient but recent happenings have put a pause on that for now. Too many experiences in my PAST pathetic Pentecostal life that make me wonder and still wondering. 1 Like |
Re: Is God Really Omniscient?? by DavidEsq(m): 9:17pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
XxSabrinaxX:The reasoning is in the fact that u understand the question and can give an answer to it. If the question question clear, so is the answer. Isn't it? |

Re: Is God Really Omniscient?? by DavidEsq(m): 9:22pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
XxSabrinaxX:When When were a child, did u understand what was morally right or wrong or u trusted ur mother to direct ur action. I believe that was why u (as well as many other kids) asked many questions. |
Re: Is God Really Omniscient?? by Nobody: 9:24pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
DavidEsq:I trusted her to direct my actions WHEN I was a toddler. |
Re: Is God Really Omniscient?? by DavidEsq(m): 9:45pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
XxSabrinaxX:I appreciate ur honesty. So despite ur freewill, u trusted her to guide ur steps. So let's see how wat God does with our freewill. Since Isaiah 46:10 tells us that God can foretell the future, would that mean that God would peer into our future to see if we would be obedient or disobedient ppl? Without going into semantics, to say God CAN foretell the future, certainly means that God has to actually peer into our future because that would certainly be the way to know wat our actions would be. Does God d that? Let's see wat the bible says. Should we? |
