Does God know the future?

The quality of love is the strongest reason why Jehovah chose not to know in advance that Adam and Eve would sin. Love is God’s main attribute. “God is love,” says 1 John 4:8. Love is positive, not negative. It looks for the good in others. Yes, motivated by love, Jehovah God wanted the best for the first human pair.

Even though God’s earthly children had the option of making an unwise choice, our loving God was not inclined to be pessimistic or to be suspicious of his perfect creatures. He had amply provided for them and had equipped them well. It was only appropriate that God should expect, not rebellion, but loving obedience in return. He knew that Adam and Eve had the ability to act loyally.

Clearly, Jehovah did not know beforehand that the first couple would sin. While he was pained by the disobedience of man and the ensuing suffering, God knew that this temporary situation would not prevent the fulfillment of his eternal purpose for the earth and humans upon it.

God also knows how great it will be when we live with Him in holiness and righteousness as He does.

But right now we don't, dear.

This is one of the biggest problems I have with the biblical God. It seems impossible that His claimed attributes can sit comfortably alongside the narrative of the Bible.

If you are all knowing then you will know what a person will do in their life. Ok, some may say that still allows for free will because He just knows what choice you will make, but it was your choice. BUT, He made you. So He made you knowing that the way you were made would result in the choice you would make.

It doesn't work, the same way as omnipotence does not work. Many Christians try to reduce the meaning of the words, or define them differently. Sorry, the prefix Omni means everything.

I think those words were used to define God so that no other religion could say they had a better one.

You missed the point. Eph. 1:4-6, 1 Co. 2:7, 2 Tim. 1:9, Titus 1:2

Yes.

To send Jesus was always His plan of salvation.

God knows the future. You don't. God has seen the movie that you cal your life. You are still the producer, the director, the star and the camera operator. You can make your own choices and are responsible for them.

you have so much to learn....you are but an infant......

He obviously doesn't know the future. The guy couldn't even find Adam and Eve after they ate from that tree! He had to search for them.. they were able to hide.

He then does all sorts of things he eventually regrets! He floods the entire world, then says, "I'll never do this again.. it was wrong.. a mistake.. 😓"

He also tells people, "Fine, if you can find anyone innocent in there, I won't destroy the town"... like what? Why not just say, "Listen, pal... you're my friend.. I'm telling you, I know everything, and you won't find even one innocent person in there"

Also.. I thought not ONE person on Earth is innocent to begin with???? wtf

Edit:

Oh, you don't? That's funny, because it was my blue question that inspired you to ask this one.

The idiots who invented buybull god were.....well....idiots.

Rolls eyes

If God did not know then He is not Omniscient. If He did know then He set them up for deliberate failure.

The future is now- Hurl B. Buttwright.
