Over in the Election threads people talk about God's omniscience that He knows all and then they take this that since He knows all he must determine all which I think is nonsense.
Anyways I want to talk about omniscience and this little exchange in Genesis.
Gen 18:16 Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way.
Gen 18:17 The LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do,
Gen 18:18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”
Gen 18:20 Then the LORD said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave,
Gen 18:21 I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.
Many people claim that these 3 are Jesus + two angels and many people claim, and I am one of those, that this is the Father , Son and Holy Spirit. But again this is not the reason for the OP. The reason is Verses 20 & 21.
Now before anyone gets their knickers in a know I fully acknowledge God's omniscience since there would be no prophecy without it. However what I am suggesting is that His omniscience is not what we think it is. Why would God have to come and check out Sodom for Himself. He says that an 'outcry came to Him'.
Thoughts?
