If God is "all knowing" and can "see the future" then why does he change his mind and make mistakes?

Question

1. God couldn't see that Adam and Eve would eat from the tree of knowledge beforehand?
2. God couldn't find Adam and Eve in the garden when they were hiding, "Where are you hiding?"
3. God first makes original sin and very strick laws then sends his
son" to come down and change the laws in softer kinder laws without killing everyone and die for original sin (dying for our sins so we are no longer born with sin as babies)?
4. God created Satan knowing what would happen?
Does this sound like a perfect God?

Answer 1

Ya know i've asked the same thing! specifically when the bible describes Jesus as LEARNING by the things he suffered....
Well definitely Jesus was NOT all knowing. However the bible says somewhere that the kingdom of God rests on his shoulders and that the FATHER gave him The THRONE so sometime after His resurrection and ascension to the Father he became all knowing in the sense that the throne gives him access to all knowledge. Of course before jesus was born He created all things that are in the heavens and in the earth. That statement also has debatable variable in it. according to jewish definitions the heavens can be translated as SKY. So that might not include all the other galaxies and the other UNIVerses!
Ok, when it comes to GOD the FATHER and GOD the son, you have fallen upon a supreme theology that rages in controversy for more than two millenia. if there is only one god, then how can god not know all things. and still not know anything?
It depends on how you define IN TRUTH by revelation what the "GODHEAD" really is. Inchristianity there are 3 that are one. but to have all being the same personage. well that a stretch of imagination that many christians blindly follow without self educating themselves on. but if you expand ALL the revealed words of God on the subject of Godhead, you will find that the 3 distinct persons of the godhead have LIFE separately of each other. Hence Jesus is the Son of God and The HOLY GHOST has the freedom to give Gifts of the spirit without repentance or as he chooses WHEN he WILLS!
So when we read Genesis, it should say: in the beginning the Gods created heaven and earth and the Chief God said to the others, it is good that all things are created but it is not Good that man should be alone. So he created Man and woman in the images of the Gods in heaven.
Paul commented on the godhead in 1 cor ch. 7, i think. and gave enough assurance that there were ONLY 3 in heaven FOR this planet EARTh. TO US there is only ONE GOD. but he left doubt in his words through the translation of english it says: there may be many... gods in heaven.

Answer 2

First of all God doesn't make mistakes or change his mind. God knew Adam and Eve would eat from the tree but sense he doesn't force people he was just hoping that they wouldn't. God knew where Adam and Eve were but let them make there own chose. I don't understand question 3. And last but not least God created Satan to test us to see if we were ready to come back to him, I don't know about you but He is my perfect God.

Answer 3

Would you PAy someone to love you ? God gives us a free will so He gives us the choice to choose Him . The tree was created so Adam & Eve could choose between Sin & God. God was sad that they choose the Tree , But he still loved them thats why He died for them on the Cross so they could go to Heaven to be with HIm .

Answer 4

1. You're not accounting for 'free will.'

2, You're confusing literal words with idioms and figures of speech in the original translations i.e. your taking what was stated figuratively back then as literal now.

3. You are confusing Original Sin with Levitical Law and blood sacrifice, atonement, and The Lamb of God.

4. Satan was originally chosen by God to guard the Mercy Seat; but instead chose (by the aforementioned 'free will') to want to sit in it. Having been originally favored by and given great trust by God he chose to betray that trust and become the false messiah.

The One True God is indeed perfect. He is also long suffering of the transgressions of his children and of limitless mercy.

Answer 5

1st- God does not make mistakes.
2nd- He knew Adam & Eve would eat from the tree- that is why Jesus had to die for our sins- and that was set into motion long before the actual act.
3rd. WHAT?
4th. Yes, God created satan and knew what would happen- however we all still have free will.
Free will means knowing you have choices- however; realizing you have choices is not the same as making the wrong choice.
God gave us rules to live by, rules for our benefit- whether we accept that He is God and knows what is good for us is our choice.
And God never changes- He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Answer 6

Huh. You forgot 3a. God got pissed off the first time and killed droves of people off with a flood, but apparently that didn't work because he had to send Jesus later to fix it again.

What I love about God is that it all just fall back to "because I said so and because I can beat you up in hell if you don't do what I say!" If an orc has gotta worship something, it's better if it's a bully like that.

Answer 7

i believe that God is good and perfect but the whole seeing into the future thing is misinterpreted, he probably can see into the future but the future can be changed there is no such thing as fate. Humans are not perfect so when God sees that they are going to make mistakes, he wants to give them the opportunity to make their own choice and have free will, if they are still stupid and do not listen to God's advice, then it is their fault not His.

if you did not get that let me put it another way, if your father sees you smoking crack, he already knows what is going to happen to you in the end, he will try to stop you by giving you love and support but if you don't listen and end up dead, do you blame your father or yourself?

Answer 8

Have you heard of predestination and free will...?
Any way
Isaiah 55:8-9
http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Isaiah+55%3A8-9&version1=31
As human beings our minds and knowledge is limited.
Don't you think God knows more than us.
I think you reall y should pray to God to help you.
Believe, I understand how you feel.
for question 2. I have read in "Your God is too Safe" that the reason God asked questions like that because he is seeking confession. He wants us to own up and admit the wrong we've done. Of course he knew what happened.
Genesis 3:11-12 http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Genesis+3%3A11-12&version1=31
and in Genesis 3:12 you see that instead of admitting their wrong they don't own up to it, but Adam blames Eve and Eve blames the serpent.
Jame 5:16
1 John 1:9

Answer 9

i do on no account replace my ideas yet I do many times get carry of latest documents that reasons me to verify issues in a distinctive mild. My ideas is often open ... 24/7 ... on your ideas and innovations. regulations have been made to be broken. it is many times with the aid of society changing or something starting to be redundant or superseded. the only subject that we are able to anticipate right it is replace! Obama did no longer invent replace. that's the genuine consistent. God is often imperfect and incorrect once you recognize that we are the Gods of our Worlds and we are people who create the truths on the planet. We write a e book ... we come across greater documents ... we re-write the e book. became the 1st e book incorrect? No, no longer probably. For the information we had on the time it became very precise. yet new documents led to the replace later. God isn't incorrect with the aid of fact issues replace and He would desire to alter with them or replace into out of date. he's being sensible. If God had a closed ideas we would nonetheless be scuffling with off dinosaurs with the main present "Throwing Sticks" from AMF or POD (secure practices from Dinosaurs ... the main present in handheld throwing instruments ... now completely deadly to maximum Dinosaurs ... T-Rex isn't secure and not lined below the guaranty ... no longer answerable for those eaten via T-R's with the aid of fact you're stable with ketchup and crunchy). There are no blunders ... in basic terms getting to grasp stories! i'm Dartagnon
