God is omniscent (or "all knowing" as the bible says). Know, knowledge is not fact untill it happens. I belive God can try to "push" us in the right direction, and he knows EVERYTHING. But he can't know the future. He knows all of the paths we can take in life, and the places we COULD end up. But I belive He doesn't even know the future...
(He was suprised Adam and Eve disobeyed him)
If you agree, say so. If you don't, say why.

He was suprised that Adam and Eve disobeyed him, but that is because he made us thinking beings. We have the choice to listen or not. He knows the plans He has for each one of us who chooses to listen and be open to Him. His plan is bigger than we can ever know, and I think most of the time we don't even see how the things we do are working on the bigger picture. If we do take the time to pray and listen and talk to God then we are lucky enough to be answered. I have to have faith that he knows the future because he knows the purpose for each and every one of us. If he knows our names before we are born then he knows where we are going in His plan. If we choose to ignore the path we are being led down then it is easy to think that he is not paying attention. Adam and Eve were tempted by Satan and chose to disobey. Who knows what God's plan for them was or how the world would have been different. God created Satan and God gave us free will and rewards those who have a relationship with Him.

You apparently are not very familiar with the Bible. God knows the future. He allows it to happen. Sometimes He chooses to reveal it to people. There are many places in the Bible with prophecies in it of the future. You may want to check out Revelations. There is one verse that where God says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end."

Yeah I'd say he knows the future alright, but we're all given the gift of choice, so we can choose whether we do good or bad! That's our decision not God, we have the 10 commandments to obey, Adam and Eve were told not to eat from that pacific tree but they chose too, that was there choice!

We must chose to believe the Bible or not believe the Bible. We can't pick and chose which scriptures we will believe. It's all or nothing. The Bible says God knows the end from the beginning. So either he knows the the end of the thing or he is a liar. I DON'T BELIEVE GOD IS A LIAR DO YOU?

God does indeed know the future. That is why God is God. The reason God knows the future is God planned and executed his plan. Nothing exists that is not on the blue prints of Gods creation. If God did not plan it, how could it exist? If something can exists apart from God, then you now have two separate ententes, two gods. God's knowledge is always based upon his plan.

It's funny how we compare ourselves to the Supreme Being, or God. Or how we think we can interpret His actions, or even what He may or may not be "thinking." Of COURSE He knows the future...He wouldn't be God if He didn't. I doubt He was "surprised"....God just dosn't interfere with the future..we have the ability ourselves to make choices, He doesn't make our choices for us. He may try and influence us, which He does every second of every day. He knows our futures, but He can change the future anytime He wants for us, it's up to us.

I disagree because to God, the past, present, and future are happening all at once. It's kind of hard for humans to get their mind around (I know it is for me).

God's actually supposed to be "beyond" time, and the concept of time is really supposed to only apply to our world. (Can't remember what I got that from.) So yeah, the rules of time are theoretically not supposed to even apply to God.
