What does it mean that God is all-knowing?

Omniscience
Omniscience, also sometimes known as being all-knowing, refers to God’s ability to know absolutely everything. This characteristic is usually treated as a consequence of one of two ways in which God exists: either because God exists outside of time, or because God exists as part of time.

What are 3 characteristics of God?

In Western (Christian) thought, God is traditionally described as a being that possesses at least three necessary properties: omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnibenevolence (supremely good). In other words, God knows everything, has the power to do anything, and is perfectly good.

Is God all-knowing paradox?

Yes, it is a paradox and it’s frustrating why most of the people on this page can’t even recognized this logical contradiction because “God doesn’t control what we do”, or some other variant of that fallacy. God is “all-knowing”, so He knows all of the choices we’ll make that would determine our lives.

What is God’s personality?

Thus the question about God’s personality speaks more to his character or attributes. God is described himself as being holy or morally pure without inconsistencies within himself. This holiness means that he is truth in his words, faithful in fulfilling his word, and righteous and in his actions.

Can God be all-powerful and all-knowing?

God “CAN” be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good. God IS all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good. That does not mean He has to meet your expectations; nor does it mean He has to meet the expectations of others. Our time on Earth is insignificant when compared to our afterlife.

Is it possible to understand God completely?

It would be a great travesty if we were able to understand God completely. Life is more than confusing. With all its twists and turns and movements without knowing where we are headed, it is no surprise that at times we wish we could fully understand what God is doing in our lives.

Why can’t God do anything about the problem of evil?

This problem of evil and God’s inability or unwillingness to do anything about it is known in theology as “theodicy.” Two of the most common (and I think unsatisfactory) answers to this question are that God’s ways are “mysterious” or that God has an overarching plan that we cannot know.

Why doesn’t God show himself in the Bible?

Just because God chooses not to expose Himself, as stated in the Bible, it does not mean He “can’t” be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good. It just means that He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, but will not be baited into putting Himself on display.
