Communicable Attributes - Knowledge
Omniscience
Theology Proper · 5 verses
God possesses perfect, comprehensive, and exhaustive knowledge of all things actual and possible, past, present, and future. His knowledge is immediate, intuitive, and simultaneous rather than discursive or successive. Divine omniscience extends to all events, including the free choices of moral agents, which He has eternally decreed.
