I don&#39;t often do this but it&#39;s grammar time.

There is no such word as "omniciency" or "omnipotency" for that matter.

The words are omniscience and omnipotence.

Sorry, that was just bugging me.

Thank you, really I mean that. Thank you very much indeed.

I tried to resist, JP, but the outcome was written in stone.

Pre-determined you might say. [/b][/quote]
Inevitable. God told me to do it..

That would have been Metatron, an easy mistake to make mate.

Suddenly the thread becomes interesting. Metatron is a nice little theological paradox.

Ve Ver only followink orters.

Let me cut through this.
IF you believe in an all knowing Being (God, Spirit of the Universe or Creative Intelligence, etc.)
God has infinite knowledge.
Humans have finite knowledge.
Of course God knows what you&#39;re going to do. No matter how many machinations you connive.
That&#39;s why God knows. Even though we have free will. Simple really.

Don&#39;t shoot the messenger mate.

Thank you, put so much better than I.

Go to your nearest kebab shop and have something on me. Just order what you want and mention my name.

Thanks J&#39;Pol. I wasted a few years of my life trying to be an atheist/agnostic.
