Psalm 43 says "Before you were born I KNEW YOU".. Whom knew what?..

I had quite a debate about that one with a Baptist friend. He believed that we existed before we are born and thought the bible indicated so with the verse you quoted. I don't agree. I think other verses say otherwise. But God is eternal.

To God, who is outside time, it would be a simple matter to look in at any point He wished.

When you are born what happens?.. Your spirit inhabits flesh or... WHAT?.. When you(your body) dies the reverse happens.. right?

If not... learn me something new..

I, likewise, disagree.

I feel that GOD is OMNI-everything, so HE knew (knows) what is in the future.

Future for us humans, anyway.

I think the fact that HE knows what WILL happen leads some to believe that HE MAKES it happen; thus we descend into the Calvin vs Armenian 'discussion' and never get anywhere ;^)
