I find it amusing too the author had to portray God in such an uncommon way.

As everybody else says in this thread, yes, God is Omniscient. The three attributes of God that are overarching are (1) He is omnipresent (he is everywhere in space and time simultaneously), he is omniscient (he knows everything through space and time), and he is omnipotent (he is the all-powerful mighty being). 'Nuf said.Anna Dougherty wrote: ↑25 Jun 2020, 12:45 I believe that God is omniscient, meaning that he knows all things that happened in the past, are currently happening, and will happen in the future. In Killing Able God is seemingly unaware of some of the effects of the curses he bestowed on Adam and Eve.

In short, the answer to your question, Riyosha, is "free will". Mankind decided to abandon God, starting in the Garden. He merely allowed, and allows, us to reap the fruits of that decision. Someday, he will wipe the tears from all eyes, but until then, we all have to wait and keep trying to help unfortunate souls see the errors of their ways.

I don't mean to disrespect your beliefs, but I just want to ask, in that case, why does God regard humankind as one entity at all? We discriminate and oppress members of our own kind.... how is it fair to them? Many die hungry, having only ever known starvation and poverty. They didn't have the conscious choice of abandoning God, perhaps it was imposed upon them. How is this treatment fair to them at all?Leecedar wrote: ↑23 Jul 2020, 10:25In short, the answer to your question, Riyosha, is "free will". Mankind decided to abandon God, starting in the Garden.
