So, when scripture goes against your theology, you claim figure of speech. When it supports your theology, you claim what it actually says. Do you not see a problem with this? This is no figure of speech. Every word of this is truth. God has chosen not to remember their sins. Aren't you...

If God says something, I take it as truth. Your interpretation can make scripture say anything you want it to say. "It's a figure of speech." I've heard everything now.

God knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows our thoughts, our hearts, our every intention.

Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Yes, God is eternal. Can God choose to limit his knowledge to the time frame he has given man?

Is God‘s attributes bound by his word?

It's called repenting. God repented. He changed his course based upon their response to his word. It's called mercy. I was once an enemy of God and destruction was my future. When I heard the gospel and believed, God no longer sees me as his enemy.

Nope. Jonah knew God is merciful. Jonah also knew that there was a chance that if he preached the message of destruction, Nineveh might believe God and repent. Jonah knew if they repent, God would repent. He didn't want to take the chance, so he headed to Tarshish.

Like what? His attributes are defined in scripture. I only use scripture to define what we know about God.

Do you think God lied to Nineveh to get them to repent?

God was, and is, and is to come? Absolutely!

If one claims that God knew ahead of time that Nineveh would repent, and he in turn would not overthrow them in forty days, would be calling God a liar. I’m not willing to do that. Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he...

post 96 I agree, God knows many things man cannot know. Man cannot know another man’s thoughts. Man cannot count the sands on a beach.

Your first paragraph goes along with what we have been saying. All knowledge that can be known. And then you go outside scripture using human logic to define God. Stick with Bible. It never fails.

Foreknow, to know ahead of time. Predestinate is to determine the outcome before the outcome occurs. Before God determines one’s outcome, he’s got to know them first. He knows them when they believe the gospel. Once they believe the gospel, he knows them, thus foreknew before he...

The other sheep…

See Matthew 25. Upon the second coming, the Lord divides the nations, sheep and goats.

Let us take the truth from this verse. How does the Lord know who are his? By his seal, the Holy Spirit. When does one receive the Holy Spirit? Upon believing the gospel. To say that God already knows this ahead of time makes this verse a lie. Notice the Galatians passages states that...

According to this passage, when did God know Abraham feared God? How did God know? Genesis 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. God left the...
