you know for some reason I missed that part the whole before part but yes you are correct it says before in there so he clearly knew us beforehand

The book of Job, the book of Habakkak, the experience of Asaph in Psalm 73, the experience of Paul and the thorn in the flesh, Hebrews 12 and the experience of discipline are a few places off the top of my head that suggest this is so.
People will subtly change a little here and a little there... even changing just one verse gives such
a different understanding. Then they read in their presuppositions and assumptions and before
you know it what they believe and what the Bible says are two completely different things.
But they will tell you you are wrong for believing what the Bible says.
I notice you change my font colour to lighter.
Is that because you are in dark mode for your eyes?
How can God lay every sin upon Jesus if He isn't aware of every sin?My comments in bold...
One of the core beliefs of Christianity is the living hope that God knows your whole life past present and future based on many scriptures, here just one. It's no wonder you write the things you do I prefer to agree with scripture and what it actually states, not what Christian believes.
There's plenty more but it's upto you where you go from here See my earlier post
Psalm 139:1-4
Psalm 139
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
Before a word is spoken he already knows that what your going to say . The moment you think a thought, God knows it, before it is even spoken.
Going back further he knows from a afar
Means he forknew you to and your whole life. Your private interpretation
Paul is another key verse, God knew the day he would be filled with the holy spirit from his mother's womb. From afar
If you take away God knowing your whole life, you take a way a living hope of Christianity. Nope, just your opinions
I hope this really strikes home to you.
Personally? All two of you?
God is merciful....
For you won't waste time with him?
Because, he is not willing to waste time?
This would make a most interesting topic! I'm not sure anyone would have a better understand due to such a topic, but it would certainly be interesting to hear others thoughts.
God already knows all those who will be alive in the Tribulation.
They are not alive yet.
That is why we can read the book of Revelation.
He is omniscient.
When we stop being stunned about realizing this attribute of God?
We can relax with our life and stop spinning when trying to picture ourselves as if we had the same attribute.
It's fun when that happens.
Well that was just proven false. You also do not believe Mary conceived,
when she was told by Gabriel that she would, as per God's plan.
I'm sure there are others...
Apparently not very much. I think most of the FWers here secretly and quitely tilt decidedly towards deism. God is just a passive spectator of his universe, for the most part, because He has to give reign to all this "freewill" creatures.
He knows your whole life without interfering in it.
Interfering to the point that He makes you desire what you end up desiring to do.
Then, He knows your whole life as when He influences it.
I asked the question because it's a biblically-based subject. Apparently, you're totally unaware of this fact.
Yes I am in dark mode for my eyes it is the only way I am able to see anything the white background just hurts my eyes to much.
And yeah subtle changes can make scripture say something completely different the before part if it was removed could make it say something different as if he didn'ty know us beforehand
God did not change his mind.
He simply presented Himself as one who will not fail, to get them to change their mind.
Convince one of your beloved "expert bible scholars" to come over here and answer my question; then I'll show you how legitimate I am.
Incorrect he pricks every person's conscience
And he decides who are his
And it's you who are confused
1 you can't repent
2 you call sin not evil
3. You call people names for no good reason
4. You think your a teacher and your a terrible one.
5 your full of lies.
So, to change the direction of a narrative, one can simply ask a question based upon any biblically based subject that is unrelated to what was being covered?
Sleight of hand is a technique...
Conceived to destroy another's sense of direction.
