    One word “Omniscient”

  2. Shane Mccall says:

    Both. God knows all things. The dead, burial, and ressuected Christ was predetermined before the foundation of the world.

  3. Yehoshua Marion says:

    Remove “OR”.
    Replace with “AND”.

  4. Mark Jones says:

    Why can’t both of these things be true? They aren’t mutually exclusive, so I don’t really see an issue with God knowing both.

  5. Rose Meyer says:

    Both

  6. Gerg Keyco says:

    Both.

  7. Gerg Keyco says:

    May I add another related question. If God created the world, at some point it would be overpopulated and we would use up all the resources and that would be the end. Did he create this earth to be finite or infinite?

  8. Thembinkosi Mkhonto says:

    If he knew they were going to sin why did he get angry then and if God can make imperfect people who will always sin anyway doesn’t that make him an imperfect God?

  9. Ntshabele Pooe says:

    The had the power and right to choose Thembinkosi Mkhonto

    I’ve wondered about this.

    God is omnipotent and all-knowing.

    He created the garden of eden.

    He created the tree of knowledge, knowing full well Eve would eat from it.

    He created the snake, knowing full well it would tempt her to eat from it.

    Despite being omnipresent, he was not there to stop the interaction, only walking through the garden later once Eve had shared the fruit with Adam and they had covered themselves.

    I believe the legal term for that is entrapment.

  11. Mike Cresswell says:

    The latter

  12. Adam Daniel Broughton says:

    The question is “is God omniscient.” Yes, he is. They did sin, and God is omniscient. It necessarily follows that he knew they would sin.

  13. James Hoskins says:

    good question ….when we get to heaven i hope we can learn lots of things

  14. Derek Tinius says:

    Both.

  15. Zoey Granitz says:

    Both statements are true!

  16. Robert Duncan says:

    Both

  17. Philip Carmichael says:

    and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
    Revelation 13:8 ESV

    The book of life of the lamb who was slain before the foundations of the earth!! It was always God’s plan that the Lamb would be slain, and slain for sin of the world. OMNISCIENT

  18. Aubrey B. Palabrica says:

    Both…

  19. William Mc Sr. says:

    god give us a choice to good or evil when we fail its not gods fault but ours. god gave instrustions on what to do or not to do. eve failed victom to satons sly ways and she inticed adam to be after the facts read the chapter of job what saton did trying to prove man unworthiness yo god. an author writes a book he knows whats going to happen but he doesn’t change the endings except for those alter endings.
