God knew us before he made the world, but did we know him?

Question

If he knew us, then we had to exist, otherwise how could you know someone who didn't exist. So did we know him too and now we just don't remember because maybe earth is just a test.

Something to think about.

Answer 1

I think earth is a test. The choices we make today will affect our eternity when we die and leave this earth. We probably did know Him before coming into this world. That would explain the wonderful connection and sense of warmth and everlasting love in all of our hearts that we can feel when we have a relationship with God. The Lord is real, I have felt it.

Answer 2

I don't think it means we had to exist yet. Remember, with God, time is no barrier.
II Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

Answer 3

You don't understand. God had his will for us planned out long before we came into existence. What He meant is that He planned you. Not that you were in actual existence before you were formed in the womb.

Rom 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

You were pre-destined not pre-existent

Answer 4

And, O Prophet, remind the people of the time, when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the Children of Adam, their descendants and made them bear witness about themselves.
He asked them. “Am I not your Lord?”

They replied. “Most certainly, Thou alone art our Lord; we bear witness to this.” This We did lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection,
“We were unaware of this thing,”

or lest you should say, “Our forefathers started the practice of shirk before us and we were born after them to their descendants : dost Thou, then punish us for the sin that was committed by the wrong-doers?”

Behold, this is how We make Our Signs clear so that these people return to the right way.

(Quran surat al-A’araf..verse 172-174)

my friend who asked, and whoever reads.

Answer 5

Aren't you assuming that God is limited? You and I cannot know something that doesn't exist, but He can. God does not exist in time; time is a created property. Therefore, there is no "not yet" with God. Answer. Game, set, match.

Answer 6

Only Adam and Eve, got to see God, then God left the face of the earth, until when he was born as " Jesus" the son of GOD.

Answer 7

Well God knows all thing, so that means he knew Lucifer was going to sin in heaven. He still gave us a choice to do right or wrong, but he already know who is going to make it and who's NOT, He did know that Judas was going to betray him, yet he was one of his apostles.

Was they test, or was is for use to learn from other mistakes, so we worked harder to be more like Christ??

Answer 8

Really? I don't think so. This question have been raised in philosophy for years, and guess what, your question has no answer. In fact your question is meaningless because any answer you may give regarding God can not answered by the scientific method (logic). You think?

Answer 9

Yes, we knew him as we were him (hindu theory of Advaita Vendanta). There is nothing like creation. God hasn't created us. He gave us illusion of world due to which we still cant recall him, which is our ultimate goal.

He knew us, and we knew him/.

Answer 10

I dont think so, but everyone will have a chance to know God
