If God knew they would, then he lied, for he said he was going to destroy them in forty days. Verse 10 actually states that he didn’t do to them what he said he would do unto them. 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had...

Yes, might. Nineveh might repent upon hearing of their destruction. Jonah knew that if he preached the message of destruction, Nineveh might believe it, repent, and God would not do what he said he would do. Exactly what I’ve been saying.

Scripture actually states God’s intent. 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Then you make God out to be a liar. God said that Nineveh would be overthrown in forty days. Did God mean what he said? I believe God meant what he said. I believe God had every intention of destroying Nineveh.

So mercy was implied to Nineveh without it being in the message itself? im not one to add to scripture.

If God knew ahead of time he wasn’t going to destroy them, then that makes God a liar.

Jonah 3 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. This is the message from God. Nineveh will be overthrown in forty days. 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on...

I've read and studied it much. What does it state that God has declared from the beginning? The end right. The end is declared in Revelation. He knew what has been declared in Revelation from the beginning. What it does not state is, all that in between when it comes to man. The end has...

God is all knowing, I agree. You are assuming that the future is knowledge. That's where I differ from you. The future is not knowledge until it occurs. Only the things set forth in his word as prophecy is knowledge that's is certain to take place. I would add, let's not define omniscient...

Perfect means complete, not lacking. If there is knowledge to be known, God knows it.

And yet, none of those verses states that God knew the prayer was coming. I'd invite you to read the book of Jonah.

Yes, the biblical definition is, "perfect in knowledge." What if future events, not foretold by God in his word, are not knowledge because God has chosen to allow man to have choices? Is not this possible?

Furthermore, why would scripture state that this if all things are determined and foreknown by God? It sounds like there are things that are not determined and foreknown by God. Yes?

I agree, Jesus' arrest and death was predetermined by God. All of prophecy of scripture has been determined by God and will take place. What about all things outside of scripture that God has not determined by his word?

Only go by what the scripture actually says and not man's thoughts on the scripture. Have you ever read Jonah?

Yes, if He chooses to be. Scripture states that God is perfect in Knowledge. If there is knowledge to be known, God knows it. The number of sand on a beach is knowledge only God could know. Thoughts in your mind is knowledge only God can know. What if future decisions are not knowledge to...

Can God change his mind? Can God repent, and change his course? Ever read Jonah? Hezekiah? David knew this truth, that's why David prayed. God declared that David's child would die. David prayed and fasted that the child would live. 22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted...

Verse please....

Absolutely, that's why we pray to the one who has the power to cause change.

Calvin's sovereignty of God is not biblical. God has complete dominion over all creation, but He has not determined all things that occur. Acts 2:23 "Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; The...
