Omniscience and Us

Let’s talk about the skill of asking insightful questions, emphasizing one key point: God is absolutely omniscient. He knows everything. To illustrate this, imagine a circle representing omniscience. However, the truth is that you can’t contain omniscience within a circle because God knows everything—past, present, and future. God does not learn anything because He already knows all.

Now, focus on the bottom left side of that circle, around the seven o’clock position, where you’ll see a small white dot. This dot represents what we know, compared to God’s omniscience. This illustration emphasizes that we do not know all that we need to know.

When engaging with someone, it’s crucial to understand our limited knowledge. If you’re arguing because someone didn’t do X, Y, or Z, we must walk in humility, recognizing our knowledge is limited, as symbolized by that small dot on the screen. There’s so much more we don’t know.

Therefore, we should ask the right questions rather than making statements like “You did this because of that.” Instead, aim to understand the situation better through thoughtful questions, walking in humility, and recognizing that we are not omniscient.
