God's gonna get one if I see him.

Ok, now answer me this Mr Christian. If god is all knowing, why would he need to test anything if he already knows the outcome? Hmmmm?
Also he doesn't have to prove a damn thing....other than his existence.
God has proven that He does exist, but let's save that for another thread, shall we?
Quote:Why would a trial in which the outcome is known make sense? If the outcome of a trial is known before it is even begun, then you do indeed have a "you, you, and you are going to hell" scenario, the rest is just going through the motions isn't it?A trial which the outcome is known doesn't make sense. However, we don't know the outcome of our trials. Heck, I just might convert to atheism before I die. I don't know this for certain, so the outcome is not known. Only God knows.
