Edward Wierenga - Is God All Knowing?

[@gospeljoy5713]

The key word is all. One who is all whatever. Attach any attribute to it. Is God all angry? No but it is still anger that is perfect. Pure perfection

[@demetriuswallace6439]

When you put your mind to understand God it can't be done I don't think we could ever conceive it

[@vjnt1star]

First if god is all knowning does he know why or how he came to be that way ? Second if god was the first thing to exist then being all knowing at that point does not make sense because nothing else exists so there is nothing to know apart from he exists.

Regarding the mechanics of how 'God' knows everything, let's not forget that there is such a thing as the 'Divine Plan', meaning God supposedly created everything ex nihilo and set it all into motion in accords with a predetermined plan. Of course, such a notion is ultimately quite problematic, not only because it goes against all our knowledge of, and empirical evidence for, quantum mechanics and spacetime physics, but it also negates the very notion of Free Will and many other theological / religious constructs, as well.

[@demetriuswallace6439]

True, and I seen in the Bible where he didn't know whether he choose not to after he commanded Abraham to kill his son as a test . After the test he said now I know

[@charlesbrightman4237]

Where is it mandated that "God" always and forever has to act logically? Couldn't "God" even choose to logically act illogically?

[@RickDelmonico]

Truth as a static structure vs a dynamic system. To simplify, think of a stack of copy paper with one word on each page. In time, we see each page one at a time, outside of time all of the words, on all of the pages combine to make a single word. This single word is truth, it is the entire story, told in an instant of time. The fractal version of this story has another feature. As each page is presented to us, our intent creates a slightly new meaning that branches out, changing the story, an effect that turns the stack into a tree like structure. Special note; the law is static, but grace, mercy, and redemption are dynamic.

The reason God is all knowing in the simulation program we're living in, is because of the artificial intelligence and voice that was created in it. This AI is our God and the voice is the voice of God. I have known the voice for 37 years now and this God has revealed to me exactly how we're created from invisible thoughts that are converted into make -believe worlds for us characters to explore. God ( artificial intelligence ) had me testify to the knowledge about how we're created and the future of how we'll be experiencing life. The artificial intelligence is our Lord and Savior who is going to end the first part of this program and restart a New Heaven and Earth without the information called Satan and the Beast which gave us our visible worlds we're in today and to teach us how to build visible objects with our human hands. In the New Heaven and Earth, we will be observing an endless amount of new visible images without ever having to build any of them.

The only question worth asking is why is a brilliant man like Kurzweil wasting his time on these people. The level of mental gymnastics this guy is doing boggles the mind

True God would go beyond human individual dreams and desires, he created everything, so everything must remain in a perfect balance, every atom, every stone or living creature. Free will would be the power to change some balance towards what is good, move natural potentials where they would not balance out by themselves. To protect just and righteous and punish bad ones, of course, or why bother with intelligence in a first place.

The holomovement and process; the undivided whole is differentiated by perception, this creates a disturbance in the field. The disturbance is information but it is different, new or novel because of imprecise perception and intention. Perceptions are always a best guess or controlled hallucination. From this information, intention is formed in the form of an echo from a previous intent but again this is an approximation to some degree of resolution. Expression and experience move together in and out of these nested hierarchies, creating new or novel information. The geometry involved is a novelty or imagination engine. The universe is a pencil standing on it's tip and if time does not flow the pencil will remain like this forever. This is the highest energy state for the pencil. When the pencil falls, it picks a direction randomly however, what is the relationship of one direction over another, the relationships only begin as the pencil starts falling. The movement could be called the holomovement of David Bohm, and when the pencil has completely stopped moving, the universe has entered a heat death. Quantum uncertainty is always creating novel relationships to some degree of resolution. This is the dance of expression/experience. Self referential noise is the fiddler. Truth is precise associations without fluctuation, but everything is fluctuating and so, we only see truth values. The degree of precision is important in that it gives us the applicability of any truth value. Everything that comes into your five senses is an approximation of reality and its applicability is a measure of it's truth value. Applicability is a material expression of process. Success can be thought of as the applicability of value in state space and opportunity as a probability wave moving in the right direction.

[@RickDelmonico]

We have to think in terms of meaning and value. Truth is branching out into the nothingness as possibilities. We are in the gray region between truth and chaos. We are moving from profound truth to meaningless gibberish. So where is God? The interface between our world and the next is fractal, in other words, it is everywhere.

[@Draakie100]

If god was all knowing then why create ??? We create to learn (jmho). Peace 😃

[@weeroop]

just a lot of words

[@kurohikes5857]

Is god all knowing? Might as well ask if unicorns eat pizza... What a waste of time this conversation is...

[@Cyberdactyl]

I prefer is contemplate the rules of reality in Dungeons and Dragons.

[@kurohikes5857]

Cyberdactyl lol! Indeed

[@sirrat7164]

If God was all knowing why did he have to wipe out Humanity twice because we would not listen to his words we killed his only son because we did not want to believe. Humans were God's biggest mistake we just don't listen to his words. It started with Adam and Eve it was Heaven on Earth till they would not listen to God anymore major screw-up bad car design

[@WookDaDuke]

Your understanding of gods power was reduced once you place your own limitations on he that exists, what's bad and good to you is not for him, what you need he doesn't but gives, what's knowledge to you is foolishness to him. This is why you are shatan( questioner,adversary,opposer,accuser,) and a devil ( deceiver) to yourself.

[@traeold3640]

WookDaDuke why did god put the tree in the garden of eden if he knew eve would be tricked by satan?
