Take it to God if you don't like what stands written and don't limit Him to fit into you finite mind.
Personally I think your post is blasphemous.
J.
You are wrong that it is blasphemous. I am only asking difficult questions to learn and grow in Christ Jesus. If you're still against me then I will not reply next time because I have better things I have to accomplish than arguing. Thanks all who are helping

To correct you, I am just learning so I HAVE TO ask difficult questions
You are judging me by that in the part you quoted
Personally, I do have to take it to God, that is right
I wish God knew every person's heart in a way that all would learn to be righteous by faith and listen, be wise enough not wanting to go to hell either
Then that all would be saved, because I care for the ones who are lost and not that wise then it would seem even though I seem to be the one going to heaven because I always try in faith and the Holy Spirit tells me things so I can't do what is against it for long or at all
So it causes me to not love God's ways 100%, but I love all of His goodness. I always sincerely say that I love only all of His goodness and I never say I love all of His ways so this sin has to be brought to God. I don't want to grieve God eitiher. I love God. I care about God.

Here is a weighty quote:- Thoughts to Ponder.

'No one need search for a programme of action or a crusade. The world and suffering humanity create the agenda for those who have eyes for human misery, ears for the stories of oppression and hearts to respond to the distress of our human family'

Why would God do one plan and then the next if in the Bible it shall demonstrate that He was all-knowing? If God wasn't all-knowing, it doesn't mean it's bad, right? He's still supreme in that He's all-powerful, more powerful than evil/Satan.

Johann, I see you trust in your theology. What if your theology is faulty? Does that make Jesus faulty?.....does it make his ability to save to the utmost a failure?

The criticism of each other in the Family of God is not helpful let alone the labelling another believer who struggles, with a negative.

Have you forgotten that you are as much a sinner as any in our human family or do you consider yourself a notch above those who do not see as you see?

The 'religious' in Jesus day trusted in their theology......and we know how that turned out.
What theology?
Is "I think your post is blasphemous" criticism?
Who are "The family of God?"

18 Bible Verses about God Knowing the Human Heart
Thanks for your clarification. I'm just saying He created us in a way that we would not all be saved so it's not our fault if we're not saved. He created good and evil, free will and so not all would be saved, that doesn't sound all-loving but he does have a lot of love. He says he knows our hearts but if he truly knew our heart, how to change hearts, He would be able to save all. That was the perspective I was looking at. That I have to bring this problem I have over to God. I'm also having a thought that if I was this loving wanting all to be saved then it must've come from God so there's a conflict I have in understanding.

You remarked to another member's post as "horseshit"......is that criticism?
You are quick to attempt to exonerate yourself Johann. There is no gain in violating context.....just a deeper hole!

Now, that I have given you the scripture references, would you say YHVH is all-knowing, knowing the END from the BEGINNING?

How many religions and denominations are there?
According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions, churches, denominations, religious bodies, faith groups, tribes, cultures, movements, ultimate concerns, which at some point in the future will be countless.
....and the 7th Day Adventist

Keep on thinking

Inspect & weed out assumptions in accordance with direct experience, and understanding will be without conflicts.

I want to know other ideas, that's why :rolleyes: friendly jk. I don't want to say this about God, but that's all I could come up w/ and I would say it's ok for God to be not all-knowing or not all-intelligent. I would like to know other ideas that can be better than mine that would solve it better than me perhaps.
If this is your conclusion, there is something amiss in your relationship with God.

Read the scriptures. Your answers are there. If you knew Him, you would know that He is good.


Psalm 34:1-8
[1](A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
[2]My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
[3]O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
[4]I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
[5]They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
[6]This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
[7]The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

[8]O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Yes now that you've given scripture that He knows everything I believe He is all-knowing, but I have to bring my problem I described in this quote to God:

@TLHKAJ, I do praise God but just the above. God has a lot to be praised for.
