Omniscient/Omnipotent

[Fluffy]

Where in the Bible are there passages that back up these 2 claims about God. I know there are things which imply omniscience, for example God knowing you before you are born, but this doesn't explicitly state his omniscience and I was wondering if there were any places where it did.

Furthermore, if there are seperate passages in both the Old Testament and New Testament then even better .

I have an extraordinarily loud voice. Yet I choose not to use it in ordinary conversation. In the same way, God is capable of knowing the conclusion from the beginning, but has no more obligation to do so than you or I have to read the last page of the whodunit.

Is this right? 1 reply and over a thousand views?!? Strange.
It does not use those precise words. Is that what you are looking for.
But it does say he knows the beginning from the end. Also he creates everything. Do we need to know more.
If One can create all things, and there is nothing else because he is alone, the rock that has no other rock beside him, then he must be all powerful and all knowing as there is no one else and nothing else there to know or to know him.

Well done. You have done the work that none of us have done

I should point out that, in my estimation, the word 'omniscient' implies necessity.
That is to say he must know the outcome of all chains of causality.
If this were true, we would not have free will and would be nothing but robots.

Additionally, God would be called responsible for all the human misery and depravity since the beginning of man.
Hardly commensurate with our perception of a God of love.

Revelation [ means revealing ] The Bible book of Revelation is a revealing of the future.
Please notice the happy outcome or ending at Revelation 22 v 2 where we see the return of the Genesis tree of life for the healing or curing of earth's nations.

But, as to who will be there at that millennial time on earth is what remains to be seen. Mankind is being offered everlasting life on earth, or being able to live forever on earth especially starting at the soon coming ' time of separation' of Matthew 25 vs 31,32

Please also notice that great crowd of people are Not a sealed number according to Rev. 7 vs 9,10,14. Just as no one can count the grains of sand of the seashore - Rev. 20 v 8 B; Jeremiah 33 v 22. Life and death is the choice placed before us [ Deut. 30 v 19 ]. If we did Not have free-will choices we would Not be able to make a choice to choose life.

The Bible's religious truth could Not set us free from anything if we were Not free moral agents who can choose to embrace religious truth for one's self or not.
