I'm not sure why there's so much resistance on this single, simple little point. We are looking to eliminate the impossible.......right?
It seems you have not read what I've said about the difference between inherent and total omniscience, or you don't care to read it, or you don't understand.
OK, please let me ask you this: According to your understanding of omniscience, would you say there is nothing that is impossible for God to know?
