Did God knew everything before it happened or no?

The way I had eternal time explained to me is that it is not linear like you are thinking.\n\nEverything has already happened in God's time....past, present and future, He is already there.\n\nWhy does He let some things happen, I dont know, the bible tells me that his ways are so far above my ways and his thought so far from mine that I should not try to figure it our or my head will blow up!\n\nSo I just try to do the best I can during my time here.\n\nHope I helped, thanks for the Q\n\nDavid

Yes God could have blinked everything instantly in existance.  He simply chose to do it the way He did for reasons I am sure my little brain can't understand.

Yes I am what I am by predestination, But that did not take away my free will, God gave us all a free will, But since God Knows the beginnning to the end, & by his foreknowledge as to what decsions we will make, Then based upon him knowing all things, then God can predestinate anyone based upon his knowledge as to what path we will take.

God never came into being, he just "was". A good philosophical question though. I think rephrasing it to something more like "What is God" Because God created time, so there was nothing before him, because he created the sequence of events. If you eliminate time from your thought and say, well if God is this thing out there always and been there always, can there be anything bigger or better or precede him. I try and ask these questions all the time but again I remember some simple things. God created our understanding. He created the unniverse, time and is all powerful. I don't think we could ever comprehend even what he is or "how he came into being". To us, we understand everthing as having a start and end, or at least a start. To God, none of this makes and difference to him. We would have to think outside the box to even start to understand. When I say out of the box I mean beyond our ability to think. Although if we goto heaven we supposedly are just our souls and then we can understand because our souls aren't limited to the physical realm which our brains are. \n\nAnyways hope this has helped. Yes God is always around us, don't think he is living, he is neither dead nor alive, just existing.

:}  No one can know anything for a fact beyond any doubt..\n\nEven our very senses fool us. There are dreams and mirages. We’ve all thought we heard saw or smelled something that was inaccurate.\n\nThoreau in Walden Pond, Presented the idea that we could know that we exist because if we did not we could not question whether we did or not.\n\nHaving established that nothing, beyond perhaps our own existence, can be established with absolute certainty, we must proceed to behave as if those things for which there is significant evidence, in fact exist and work as the evidence would suggest they do.\n\nWhile this procedure at times will lead to error, for the most part it is necessary to pursue this line of reasoning, called inductive logic, if we are to conduct normal life functions.\n\nIs there a god?  I use the same process. So for my purposes Yes, as far as my data goes in allowing  me to analyze the information, the preponderance of evidence suggest that God is a certain fact.  \n\nThen using the scientific method it simply remains to see if the predictions I make based on this hypothesis come to be\n\nAnd they have.\n\nI'm 100% sure \n\n\n\nOne additional fact \nMy salvation depends less on my faith than on his faithfulness!

God says that he IS the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega. By his own Word, he had a beginning. It is simply not for us to understand. We, as humans, are limited in our knowledge. God is omnipotent.

This is called fatalism, and is in logical error. Clearly everything is not predetermined. To your question I add another: did you type that question of your own accord, or was that predetermined too? Obviously, we have free will. Obviously, we have personal responsibility. God is sovereign, which means He has power of choice and consequence. We only have power of choice.

Well, that is an easy question. God has always been. Before He created the world and Adam and Eve. He was, is, and always will be.\nhave a good one! :)

I'm not sure. Good question. I think he did, but not his memory of our nature. God understands and he still loves us.\n\nThat's funny. Yes, No, I'm not sure. At least I'm honest!

Did he really understand something?

God knows everything but Abraham did not.\n\nThrough the test Abraham learned that he was capable of following the will of God no matter how hard it might be. He (and we today) also learned that the true God does not want human sacrifices like the false religions of the time.\n\nContext. Context. Context.\n\nAbraham lived hundreds of years before the Ten Commandments were given to Moses and the Jewish people.\n\nAbraham lived in a society where human sacrifice and child sacrifice was the normal thing to do.\n\nGod was just beginning to reveal himself to mankind and Abraham did not have the Bible or much of anything else to go on.\n\nAbraham knew that his son was a gift from God. If God demanded that Abraham kill the son, then Abraham, although it broke his heart, would do it.\n\nUnder the same circumstances (context) would we be able to follow God's will?\n\nUnder the much easier circumstances that we live in today, can we follow God's will as Jesus revealed it to us?\n\nWith the Ten Commandments, the Prophets, and especially Jesus Christ as part of our current circumstances (context), God would not put us to this test.\n\nBut we do have similar issues to tackle, like abortion where we kill our children who are miraculous gifts from God just like Isaac was to Abraham.\n\nIn abortion we sacrifice our children to the gods of lust, convenience, economy, and selfishness.\n\nWith love in Christ.

God exisited before everything and will last when everything ends as he created everything...\n\nIt is not possible for him to be a God and therefore have the attributes of God unless he is all knowing, everlasting etc.\n\nOne verse I know states somthing along the lines of "He begets not, nor was he begotton" meaning, he has no father and he has no father...\n\nThink about it, if God came from another being then there would be something above him and therefore he wouldnt be all powerful and the chian would continue because where would his father come from and the father before him?

The whole getting saved during the tribulation thing is set in stone, but it is no stone any human has ever seen. It all depends on what God's plan is. Ask Him. He know everything. Don't be afraid to wait a seemingly unending amount of time to get an answer. You might get none. Still, that is no reason to stop believing.

God was not created, He existed for eternity past, present and future , existing always beyond man's ability to comprehend

An omnipotent human? Wouldn't your head explode? \nTo know everything ( EVERYTHING ) at the same time from past, present, and beyond? No thank you.

for those that say god would never ask such a thing, remember that he has asked such things before.  most notably of abraham, whom god asked to sacrifice his son.  of course god stopped him at the last moment, but abraham did not know this would happen.  he was fully prepared to kill his son at gods request.  how can you judge what god would and would not ask you to do?  if you believe the story of abraham is true, you must admit that god could ask things like this of you, and that the only path for a believer is to follow god's commands.
