Bible Question: A lot of different people have been telling me that the devil don't know our thoughts. I cannot find any scripture in the bible that confirms that. Can someone help me. |
Bible Answer: Hi Colette, Welcome to the Forum:-) You are correct that there are no scriptures that tell us satan is omniscient. He's not! The closest we come is in John 13:2 where it says, "...the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him," (NKJV) If we look at Matt. 4:3-11, we see Christ respond to satan's temptations with (quoting)scripture, but we see no indication satan knew what Christ was thinking or what he would say! Neither do we find that true of us as believers. The attribute of omniscience resides with God alone! He knows everything:everything possible, everything actual; all events and all creatures, of the past, the present, and the future. Daniel 2:22 tells us, "He knoweth what is in the darkness". Psalm 139:2-4 says, "For there is not a word in my tongue but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether" To quote A. W. Pink, "What a wondrous being is the God of Scripture!" I hope this helps, BradK |
