godrulz37 Sorry I had a typo on the reference. It should have been 1 Sam 23:9-13. I have corrected the reference. You spoke of “available knowledge”. Unless God is just like us, only He is able to define what is “available” to Him. In 1 Samuel 23:9-13 David, the man after God’s own heart, asks of God believing that the answer is “available” to God. David does not phrase his request in such a way as to ask God what “is” but what will be. It is also a conditional “will be” since David intends to make his decision to go or stay depending on what God reveals to him. God’s answer gives no opportunity for any “unknowable” things that would make Him a false prophet. If God can perfectly know what does not happen because it is conditional on future events then God has revealed in His Word a definition of God’s knowledge that is beyond the present and the past. It only take one event to get the message that God’s knowledge is beyond ours. Only God can infallibility have knowledge of conditional events concerning men who have free will to chose. Anyway, I think we will leave this for now as it take us off the topic at hand. We will revisit at another time, God willing.
