Hi, Natalie... Yes, God knows all things. This attribute of God is called "omniscience." Dr. Wayne Grudem defines it as follows: "God fully knows Himself and all things actual and possible in one simple and eternal act." I wondered about the same kind of questions you have asked here. Then one day I read where John Calvin said, "God speaks baby talk to us." God is utterly different from us. If He did not take specific action to reveal Himself to us, we could never even begin to understand Him. Even what He reveals about Himself is difficult to understand. So He makes it easy and simple for us by speaking and manifesting Himself in human terms. God is not human at all, but He talks to us often as though He were. God certainly knew that men would sin. (We're even told that His plan of redemption began before the foundations of the earth.) God also knew exactly what He would do. Nevertheless, He explains the situation in terms we can understand, so that we can get the sense of the enormous heinousness of sin and God's enormous holiness. Here are a few Scriptures that might help: Job 37:16, 1 Cor 2:10-11, 1 John 1:5, Heb 4:13, Job 28:24, Matt 10:29-30, Is 46:9-10, Psalm 139:1-2. In Him, Doc |

HI DOC THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONDS TO MY QUESTION. I CAN SEE THINGS MUCH CLEARER THAN BEFORE BECAUSE I OFTEN WONDER ABOUT SATAN WERE HE CAME FROM AND IF GOD MADE HIM. I KNOW MY THOUGHT ARE DIFEERENT FROM GOD BUT I BELIEVE SATAN WAS THE BEGINING OF ALL OUR PROBLEM. THE WORLD WOULD NOT BE LIKE THIS IF SATAN DID NOT EXIST. |
