Some time, as an aside from the contemporary lines of arguing on this issue, I'd like to see someone sketch out what is "known" from another aspect. here is what I mean. We three (and everyone else in the world) carry the image of God -- even after the fall. God "knows" not just THAT as fact, by importantly, significantly, God knows the logoi of our creation that he providentially maintains! God "knows" the image. That is a vivid example; but the same thing could be said of the logoi of lots of stuff. I bet that God also knows how all that stuff can be "tranfigured" (small "t") back to Him in worship. And how all that stuff will be when it too (along with us) participates in the New Heaven and New Earth.
That's a lot to know.
Just a thought.

| Posted 12/15/2001 5:51 AM (GMT -6) | | Good point, POW. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I am able to step up to the plate against that curveball. I think what you are touching on here is one of the reasons foreknowledge is so linked to God and His creation. God knows us, therefore, he knows how we will act. But, much more than that, He knows how things will end. According to Isaiah 46:8-11, this foreknowledge is what sets Him apart from all other "gods."
