Is God omniscient?

The question of whether God is omnipresent has been asked. What about omniscience?
Omniscient: "having complete or unlimited knowlege." Does God have this? Think long and hard about this before you answer.

Is God Everywhere?

Brianna brought up the fact that their Bible study group had come to the conclusion that God is not omnipresent. Is that really true? If it is, then is God, in fact, a limited being? Since He cannot be everywhere at once, then He must by necessity be limited by space, right? What do you think? After a few people comment, I will proffer my thoughts.

Say Hello to My Little Friend!!!!

This is Jackson David Estes. He just wanted me to say hello to everyone. See you next week. Jackson says, "Do your reading!!! Now, mom lets eat!!!!"

Simplicity

Okay, first student post:
"As the world, which to the naked eye exhibits the greatest variety of objects, appears very simple in its internall constitution when surveyed by a philosophic understanding, & so much the simpler by how much the better it is understood, so it is in these visions. It is the perfection of God's works that they are all done with the greatest simplicity. He is the God of order & not confusion. And therefore as they that would understand the frame of the world must indeavour to reduce their knowledge to all possible simplicity, so it must be in seeking to understand these visions."--Isaac Newton
True/false?

Religion

Tell me what you think about the following quote:

"The cross and its real meaning -reconciliation as God's initiative and act - is antagonistic to all human religious aspirations and ends, for the tendency of all human religious striving is to possess and conquer God, to realize our divine nature (theosis). Christ is not the fulfillment of this but the uncovering of its self-assertive nature, and at the same time the rebirth to a completely opposite condition, the fellowship of reconciliation with God."

Forgiveness versus Excusing

The following comment was made by C.S. Lewis: "I find that when I am asking God to forgive me I am often in reality (unless I watch myself very carefully) asking Him to do something quite different. I am asking Him not to forgive me but to excuse me. But there is all the difference in the world between forgiving and excusing. Forgiveness says, 'Yes, you have done this thing, but I accept your apology; I will never hold it against you and everything between us two will be exactly as it was before.' But excusing says, 'I see you couldn't help it or didn't mean it; you weren't really to blame.' If one was not really to blame then there is nothing to forgive. In that sense forgiveness and excusing are almost opposites...And if we forget this, we shall go away imaging that we have repented and been forgiven when all that has really happened is that we have satisfied ourselves with our own excuses. They may be very bad excuses; we are all too easily satisfied about ourselves."
