Can an all knowing God ever be surprised by anything that happens. He had to know before creating Lucifer that he would fall from Grace and become the great power for evil on earth.
He had to know and say this is good and then go on to create Lucifer. Nothing Lucifer ever does can be or could have been unknown to an all knowing God. The same is true with creating Adam and Eve knowing they would succumb to the temptations of the creatures he knowingly created to tempt them. Right? How could it be different than this?
The peculiar thing to me is how the writers of the bible have stories like Sodom and Gomorrah and Noah and the arc where they seem to be trying to sell this idea that God gets really angry at discovering how things have turned out and strikes out in a rage.
How could such a thing be possible for an all knowing God? He has to be saying, ah yes this is just exactly as I planned when I created these creatures. He's just watching the play He's written unfold exactly as He conceived it. Unless you think I'm missing something?
