OMNISCIENCE

 GOD IS PRESENT IN ALL TIMES AND PLACES WITH ALL POWER AND KNOWLEDGE SIMULTANEOUSLY AND ETERNALLY 



When born into the world we are all cut off from God and under sentence of everlasting death.  Under this situation we cannot of ourselves using our free will contact God.  No man can come to the Father or Jesus unless God draws him .  Just because God has absolutely all knowledge does not mean He causes everything that happens to happen. God can allow things to happen as He knows the would or He can intervene,  however these interventions were also pre-planned in eternity.  Before God created anything He knew the end from the beginning of all of what He would create. Even the interventions were pre-planned.   Even converted saints need a mediator so what about those who have none  ?   God created us with free will and we are responsible for our sins.  God did not make us sinners. However in eternity God knew what all our sins would be.  Omniscience literally means knowing all things but if you say He does not then you deny God. God has eternally been omnipotent and omnipresent but you say not omniscient.  This idea amounts to a false God because you are not worshipping Him in Spirit and in truth.  Your knowledge of the most high is lacking.  King David in Psalm 149 speaks of God's omniscience,  how can God give us the sure word of prophecy with His words coming to pass exactly as He said  ?  God says there is nothing to hard for Him, Jesus said with God all things are possible.   What about our hope of salvation if we have a God who is not truly and totally omniscient?

This false idea casts doubt on everything God has said and destroys faith. We are to believe in faith what God has said, how do we do that when we limit Him ?

You cannot believe that God in eternity knew who would and wouldn't be in His kingdom.  You think God's will is unfair because you think being predestined to everlasting life or death is beyond God's abilities. This thought terrifies you. That's good because we should fear Him who can destroy body and spirit in hell fire.

God predestined those, who He new in eternity ,that would commit the unpardonable sin, to everlasting death and those who would love and obey Him to everlasting life. The actual spiritual reality of all this has already been done but we live in a bubble called time where it seems to us that these things happen in the passing of time. God is not bound by time, He speaks and it is done His words accomplish what He sent them to do and do not return to Him void. Your error is thinking you can know absolutely everything about God then judge God when you think He is wrong. You do the same to those saints that do know God better than you because they have diligently sought Him.  It is possible to know some of the deep things of God but not by denying His total and complete omniscience.

DIFFICULT UNDERSTANDING

  There is a church that exists today that I call the invisible church.  Perhaps it could also be called the unknown church, the ignored chu...
