Honest struggles on God’s omniscience.

[Idolater]

If Jesus knew Judas didn't believe when He chose him to be one of the 12, it is not hard to believe that Jesus knew he would betray Him, especially since Judas was continuing his evil ways (he stole from the "bag"). Jesus probably even encouraged Judas in his deception by exalting the woman who poured expensive perfume on Him, because He chastized Judas. But why does that mean Jesus knows every decision you and I will ever make? Do you think God encourages us in every decision we make?

First, did He already know the answer to the question He posed, "Will ye also go away?"

At what time? When He first chose them (no, I don't think so)? At the time He asked the question (maybe)? or at the time He was arrested in the Garden (yes, and they did)?

70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

It is amazing, but maybe it shouldn't be, how many people that engage in theology on X either don't know what the Bible says, or ignore it because it shows they are wrong.
