Hey, I have been getting philosophical questions, one is here-

The scripture says that God knew us before the foundation of the world. God is eternal, so He always knew us! Before we were born we were a thought in the mind of God! My question is this- if we were a thought in the mind of God, did we exist?
I am thinking of getting a PHD...do I have a PHD yet?

No where in scripture does the Lord describe Himself as being clairvoyant

If scripture is not enough for you are you making up your beliefs as you go.
Nothing about God's power is witchcraft.....you should be ashamed of yourself.
Go peddle your silliness somewhere else.

God knew us...but we--we didn't know Him. However, when we pass from death to life, we know Him and are like Him. Moreover, we then are One with Him, meaning eternal, even eternally past.

God never describe Himself as being "clairvoyant".

All knowing, yes. A clairvoyant witch, uh no.

You're the one using witchcraft lingo here, not me.


you should be ashamed of yourself.

Jesus took all my shame at the Cross so uh, no!

I don't do what the witchcraft peddling evil spirits tell me to do.

Following them is obviously your department.
