RE: Omniscience Argument Revisited

(December 11, 2013 at 7:30 am)Rational AKD Wrote: funny, if there's no actual infinite then what makes you think omniscience presumes infinite knowledge? that would only be the case if you assumed there is infinite knowledge, which I don't.
omniscience only means he has all (possible) knowledge, infinity needs not to be interjected.

Is there actually a meaningful difference between "infinite knowledge" and "all possible knowledge?" In other words, how does the idea that an omniscient god that only knows everything it is possible to know actually help you deal with the contentions and problems with the concept of omniscience?
