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. 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 9 Who can tell...

See the book of Jonah. God is either a liar, or he changed his mind. You decide.

Never assume God's attributes, but allow scripture to define them. Also, if God has chosen not to know certain outcomes in the future, why does that make him less powerful? Nobody is saying he cannot know all future outcomes, but that he has chosen not to know all future outcomes.

I've heard it explained this way: God: "If you choose to do this, I know what the outcome will be. But if you choose to go in a different direction, I know what the outcome will be. Choose." Like playing chess and God knows every move to make where in the end, he wins. But he allows us to...

Future choices of man? He's never caught off guard or surprised, but works in and through man's choices to bring about his expected end result as stated in scripture.

Good thoughts right here...

Still no scripture...

There may be one in his new, updated version. But what if God has chosen to work within the time that he created?

I believe the future as stated in scripture, yes, he knows it and will determine it to come to pass. I also believe there are things God has chosen not to know but can still work in and through every thought and decision of man. If it is knowledge to be known, God knows it. God is perfect in...

I'm asking you to post scripture that states that God knows all things, all decisions, all outcomes before they occur?

Scripture, please stating God has foreknowledge of all those who will be saved. Thanks. And it's not Romans 8.;)

I'm not saying he doesn't, but Scripture please...

Once we are in Christ through believing the gospel, God seals us for our end result which is the redemption of our body. Our soul is in Christ, but our body needs to be changed to match our righteous, saved soul.

God's omniscience was never denied. We simply allow scripture to define the term, not man.

Biblically, the only thing that is mentioned that is predestinated is the believer unto the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Brother, those are strong words. One should be careful of such accusations. Let's all use a little more grace please.

Agreed, God's nature is unchanging.

Says who? Your logic? Scripture? You should be glad he changed his mind concerning you. You were dead in sins and trespasses and were by nature, a child of wrath.

God gave no such warning. There was no "if you repent". Yes, Jonah knew about God's mercy. He knew that if he went to Nineveh and preached the message, there was a chance they would believe God's message. And if they believed God's message they may repent. And if they repent, God will...

Another "ism" to explain away what scripture actually states. Yeah, I'm familiar with that term.
