If God is All-knowing...???

Question

Then he would have known on the day he created this amazing planet that in this era we would have already invented TV, camera's, mass-media, etc.

Was it really such a good idea to send Jesus to earth in an era without camera's, and have His story put down in a book in an era where most of the world-populations couldn't even read or write?

Do you realize that Yahoo Answers will penalize you 25 points for unnecessarily provoking the religious fanatics with such questions? Yahoo Answers is willing to allow simple questions that allow the religious fanatics to play "cheerleader for God". Simple questions allow them to beat their breast and declare their rightousness and condemn to hell anyone who doesn't believe as they do. However in the case of more complicated questions such as yours, Yahoo Answers is afraid that the religious fanatics will have to exceed their capabilities in order to answer your question - ie THINK. This can cause them to have mental health problems and Yahoo Answers does not want to be responsible.

Next time put questions like this in the philosophy section. Those guys love mental masturbation.

Answer 2

Primitive men who wrote the bible repeatedly described a god who was inept and a poor planner. They tried to envision a sublime Cosmos with tiny little half-blind human eyes, creating a tiny half-blind humanoid deity not unlike themselves.

Answer 3

God is all-knowing and we are not. Which puts us in a precarious situation because there are times when we can't understand why God chooses to do things a certain way. Instead of asking people to share about Jesus with others he could have sent a host of angels, or written it all over the skies (after all he parted the red sea, etc.) He chose to do it the way that He did it, and He has the right to because He is God. For us to suggest a different way is to say we can do a better job at being God than He does.

Answer 4

In the context of a worldview where one is saved by faith, yeah, I think it makes perfect sense. Were Christians to regard the Bible in this matter, they would learn that Jesus who came into a world without mass media said "Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe."

Answer 5

Actually, during the "fullness of time," as historians named it, it was rather difficult to have an imposter Jesus or something like that. In this day and age, it is extremely easy what one can do in photo editing or even in CG animation to make it seem like Jesus is here. Back in the day, people couldn't do that, and letters had more credibility to them.

Answer 6

Yes, it was a good idea to send him at that time, because we need to have faith, and if he came in this era, people wouldn't think he was performing actual miracles, they would think that he was using some invention, or fooling our minds with technology

Answer 7

Yes, that was important. All of God's plans are perfect. Father Knows Best.
People would not have believed Him any more now if he was here. They'd still ffind a way to discredit Him......

Answer 8

The first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants us to believe first. Would you believe even if you could see him?

Answer 9

He knows all things from the beginning to the end. God is omniscient-all-knowing. I'm sure God knows what He is doing. He doesn't make any mistakes.

Answer 10

I was wondering when the Mark(y) of the Beast would arrive!

I think God just got impatient. You know, being timeless and eternal doesn't mean your watch isn't ticking...
