Omniscience Argument Against God's Existence

RE: Omniscience Argument Against God's Existence
(October 1, 2013 at 4:47 pm)Vincenzo "Vinny" G. Wrote: He could have worded it better, I agree.

But I think the gist of the premise was "You cannot know what you don't know you don't know unless the state of affairs change such that you know what you don't know."

but that doesn't really fit in his argument. if you can't know what you don't know then you have a lack of knowledge if you don't know something. but if there is nothing you don't know, you can't say "well you don't know what you can't know therefore you don't know everything." knowing everything means what you don't know is equivalent to nothing, so you can't take that nothing and treat it as something.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
