It's only a paradox to us.

Nothing is a paradox to God.

Calvin offered good advice. He suggested not dwelling on the incomprehensibles, but rather concentrate on glorifying God through obediance, fruitfulness and gratitude.

Doh! Does that mean you won't answer my question? Okay :-) I won't push for an answer. But you did say that God can't "forget" anything because He has total and complete knowledge of everything, and I have provided Biblical verse that directly contradicts this. At least do me the honor of setting this aside for some later noodling and re-addressing it at a future date. I credit to your Calvinistic nature the love of a good paradox. I am genuinely interested in your take on this.

How do you know when something is incomprehensible?
