Since God knows all things, how come he didn't know Satan was not happy before the rebellion?

Answer 1

Satan's rebellion is not mentioned in the canonical bible (you know, the one put together at the council of Nicaea hundreds and hundreds of years ago). So technically, it is just Christian mythology (even though I think the whole bible is). Your question probably came up at one of the councils and was the deciding factor for that story's omission.

Answer 2

It's apparently a matter of dynamic tension, as theists have told me. People have to be able to choose Satan in order to really choose God.

Or, more reasonably, the people who invented god didn't see it coming because we're not supposed to ask questions like that.

Answer 3

You cannot apply logic or common sense to Christianity. As a mortal you are not capable of understanding the craziness of God or anyone else for that matter.

Answer 4

Proof that

"Pride comes before the Fall"

.

Answer 5

I believe like in a lot of situations God likes to give us just enough rope so we can hang ourselves.

Answer 6

He did, however satan also had the choice to deny God.

Answer 7

God knew about His 'Angel' just as Jesus knew about 'Judas'

Answer 8

How do you know that He didn't know?

I think that He knew before Satan even knew, you know?

Answer 9

how do you know He didn't know??
scripture says God is omnipotent ... all knowing.

rev. 19:6,
"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia:
for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."
