God doesn't unremember anything. These are word games men play to test the shape and expanse of God. But God is limitless.

God can't "forget" anything because He has total and complete knowledge of everything.

We may see this as a contradiction, but I don't think God sees it that way.

All men are fallen and all men's sins were known to God from before time.

But through His gracious gift of salvation, God still has chosen His elect to spend eternity with Him, all the while knowing every sin each one has ever committed or will commit.

He doesn't forget our sins; He forgives them.

You're right, Seven_O. If He needed any prompting, God could always check the Bible to remind Him who's who. 8~)

... He has total and complete knowledge of everything.

Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

As you said in post #578, He's either God, or He's not. It's another paradox. I resolve it by speculating that God chooses what He is aware of and when He is aware of it. How do you resolve this paradox?
