On the omniscience of God

[Derf]

Did you read if prophets existed before God's creation? Man! are you buddy of those idolaters' judges? sigh*

The point was that God's telling the prophets what He is going to do may not apply to every instance of what He's going to do.

 

[Idolater]

No they are not!

Yes they are the same. Short of miracles (disclaimer), He deals with us through institutions /organizations. Most basic and fundamental such institution is marriage, consisting of pair-bound male and female offices, husband, or man; and wife. You can only hold the office of husband if you're a man. Like priests. You can't "transition" from a woman to a man. You're a woman, you can't hold that office, just like the pope.

The institution of marriage is where children come outta. This is how God adds children to the World, through the institution and concerning offices of marriage.

Marriages make families, another institution. Families are how children are reared, this again is God providing, in this case for the rearing of children, with an institution tasked with satisfying that duty.

The administration of justice is no different. Though as Derf pointed out, even individual private citizens are deputized to administer the death penalty, when we are Americans, living under the Second Amendment, which explicitly acknowledges our God-given and inviolable human right to defend ourselves and our families. We are acting as and with the full force of the state, when we are forced to defend our families through the administration of justice with a privately owned and legal firearm which we can carry on our person (wear).

 

[Clete]

Not so. You better check it in the Bible.

Amos 3:7: God does nothing without revealing his plans to his servants the prophets.

The bible often speaks in generalities that must not be stretched to apply in a woodenly literal manner.

There are countless things that God has done that He never mentioned a whisper of to anyone.

1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him.​

​

Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.​

 

[Clete]

God and Mr. Satan know the past and the present, but about the future, well... the future of humanity and the world has been settled but... God's word will prevail, however... with respect to humanity, the future of eternal life will depend on each individual if making it or not, and for this event won't be by choosing the "winners" by pointing them with his finger, so... perhaps God himself might not know...

You give too much credit, not to mention respect, to "Mr. Satan".

We have the right to defend ourselves whether the government agrees with it or not. Self-defense is not a form of the death penalty. The whole concept of the death penalty implies adjudicated guilt. Even then, the government does not have the moral authority to decide for itself what is or is not a capital crime, nor when or whether a person should or should not be executed, except and only to the extent delegated to it by God, which is a distinction that does not apply to self-defense.
