God's Knowledge

Post #1

Post by JehovahsWitness »

If for the sake of argument, God exists and is all knowing, what would that imply.


Question for debate:

Would an omnipotent God , in your opinion, know more than you?
How in your opinion would his knowledge measure up against our brightest scientists?

[Please note: I am not asking if an omniscient being is possible, but if such a being exists, the comparitive extent of his knowledge in relation to yourself]

Is Genesis 25:19-34 a true story about events that actually happened in the real world? It seems a bit farfetched in several ways (particularly the 'birthright' part with Esau supposedly about to die of starvation and desperate for a bowl of stew).

Doesn't it seem likely to be a myth, legend, folktale, fiction rather than a factual description of actual events?
No, it seems like a didactic manipulation of lives by GOD to help bring HIS sinful elect along their path to redemption. We live with the effects of the sins we chose pre-earth and get to see the results which for some encourages repentance and for others is proof they will never repent.
PCE Theology as I see it...

We had an existence with a free will in Sheol before the creation of the physical universe. Here we chose to be able to become holy or to be eternally evil in YHWH's sight. Then the physical universe was created and all sinners were sent to earth.

This theology debunks the need to base Christianity upon the blasphemy of creating us in Adam's sin.
