It just occurred to me that if God didn't know what those at the tower of Bable were doing (if that is what is being presented), and had to GO see, then is God omnipresent?
Perhaps this has already been addressed.

| Posted 1/24/2002 4:31 PM (GMT -6) | | rb1963b, I'm certain that you will get better answers than this. But I just like to remind myself that the Bible is not a tape recorder.
All that which we learned in college about pausing to wonder how it read to the first audience, to later, and to us, are rich for the imagination.
I can recommend "Son of Laughter" by Frederick Buechner? Its about Jacob (son of Isaac/Laughter) and all the complexities of his life. Nice drama in that novel. It is wet very well into the "Neolithic" setting of his time.
Reading your question made me think back to that book. how did the folks of the time understand things. How would statements, would conceptions have to be framed in that time.
Well, the more educated than I can speak now.
Welcome back!

| Posted 1/24/2002 4:34 PM (GMT -6) | | Good question. I would like to pose a related question to the board if you don't mind: Is it possible for God to "pay attention"? For this question to even make sense wouldn't it be true that God has what we understand as the ability to pay more and less attention to something? Does omnipresent entail paying the same level of attention to everything?
thanks,
