doggieduff,
You said:
Jerry, you have yet to respond to my main point on this issue, that the LORD was speaking as a man! The man Christ's eyes were not in every place while he was on earth. In the same manner, the Lord's eyes were not in every place in Gen. 18.
So the Lord was speaking as a man.So what?The same Man was able to raise the dead.Just because He is a Man does not mean that He does not possess supernatural qualities.You say that because He is a Man He would not know what was happening in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah unless He went there personally to find out.
The Lord was not there when Nathenael was sitting under the fig tree,but the Lord Jesus said that He saw Him nonetheless:
"Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel"(Jn.1:48,49).
This superatural ability displayed by the Lord Jesus caused Nathanael to exclaim that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah of Israel.
But you say that as a Man that He would not have power like that.
It is obvious that you cannot see that Genesis 18:21 is not to be taken literally.The Lord would know what was going on in the wicked cities without having to go there in person to see whether or not the reports were true or not:
"I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know"(Gen.18:21).
In His grace,--Jerry
