That is to say he is knowing of all things past, present, and future?

Atheists: Please sit this one out. I too am an atheist and I'd really like believers answers only on this one, thanks.

I'm a christian, and I think God is Omniscient. I'm not sure our definitions exactly fit, but that's OK. Since you asked, my definition is kind of hard to explain. I think God lives outside of time. In scriptures he's called the great I Am. That makes me believe that to God every moment is the present. Right now, I believe he's in the beginning in the garden with Adam and Eve, he's here in the present with you and me, and he's also ruling and reigning in the new Jerusalem from the book of Revelation in the future. I can't think of too many versus of scripture to back any of this up, but that's what I believe.
I have to admit, I find myself wondering though. Why would a professing atheist wanna know what I believe about my God, whom you admit to neither knowing, and doubtlessly have no interest in knowing?
Interesting......

Yes in line with islamic teaching Allah the only one God has 99 best characteristics or best names such as among other is omniscient.Allah knew eveything in the past,know what are happening today and know also what will come in the near future and in the long long future in this universe.The other best character of God are omnipotence or omni potent.God is the most super power in this universe.God has the full authority much more than George W Bush the super power and world police the president of USA.Mr Bush will die and resign from his power at a certain time in the future.But God will not die.God lives for ever so God has omni souvereignity eternally..God can take out the spirit and soul of Mr Bush at anytime.from his body if God wants it.God is omnipresence or omnipresent so no any creature in this world that is out of God's surveilance.In the holy Qur'an God spoke that the most powerful king Fir'aun in Egypt at his ere called himself as a god .He said he can make or let someo ne die or alive,but he could not make a died person alive and he could make the sun rises in the west.God killed the King in the red sea after Moses and his groups acrossed the sea savely. by wiping the sea water with his stick..In the Abraham prophet era,he was burnt by the cruel King Namrud but God saved him by telling to the fire please be cool and the fire did not burn him.

Yes and No.....For some of the epochal making, evolutionary leaps forward and/or titanic battles between God and the evil ones'....God lives by faith...He chooses to 'set the stage' and place a veil between Himself and the outcome. At below; so Above and vice versa.

God is working out a correction and evolutionary process on this planet; that was a major gamble for Him. The dichotomy is quite simple: Will man/woman believe and cleave to Me or will they follow the 'path of least resistance' which is: the ways and rewards of the world? Or, will men/women subsume their wills and renounce their self will. And He knew that some simply will not do that. The entire issue of predestination then comes into play; which I reject as too neat and tidy...and incompatible with 'God living by faith', not even to mention 'Freedom of Will'.

Prior to Jesus' going through with the Cross (and He did not have to: His 'yes' to the Cross means nothing if "no" was not a possibility) the outcome was in doubt and jeopardy. After His resurrection, the outcome is sealed. The evil ones' being
totally psychotic and blinded by arrogance still 'think' that they will win. Hence, Armageddon is still to be waged...waaaay in the future.

There are simply too many times in the Bible that God gets surprised; for Him to have used His omniscience. Moreover, "faith without a test is merely untested faith". And therefore, is invalid.

So, men/women get tested and God has had His fair share. And 77 years after Jesus ascended to His right hand side; John, in exile, was shown a vision of how things are going to be devastated, when God's 'cup of indignation' gets full..You know, it's got to be a big cup...LOL

Great Spirit knows our past, same as we remember it all. Great Spirit however, remembers more.

Yes, The One who is most Holy knows our Present too.

Great Spirit is the Alph and the Omega, who knows all of our possibilities for many various potential futures ... but knows too, that humanity moves in it's own direction, toword fate. This is where dastiny resides.

Perhaps one day we will each see, know and rest in the hand that created and holds our existance.

I really do believe that everything has a plan and has been planned out and that everything has a reason...
I found my soulmate and when we would try to break up we could never get over eachother ... i realized i never judged him about his imperfections or anything.. he has big ears and really short fingers.. hes 6'1 and i am 5'0 .. after realizing he was my soulmate i think his little hands were made for me.. and my brother has big ears too so i think that was so he wouldnt feel judged by me or something ... God says he knew us before we were even born
