In case the above is falsely used by someone as evidence of omniscience...
Example: Who, when relating a seemingly unbelievable report to another, and then seeing the unspoken reaction (facial expression, body language) -- the raised eyebrows, the look of scorn or suspicion -- wouldn't then be inclined to remark, "Okay, I know what you're thinking, but..."
It would be pretty nutty for the person who doubts to say, "You know my thoughts? Oh, so you must be God then."
Yet much Biblical interpretation depends on nutty disconnects like that. Confusion takes hold and then experts keep it going with, "It's an incomprehensible mystery so you just have to take it on faith". Well why all the repeated teachings pounded in.
Kind of like swallowing maintenance meds [that do God knows what in the long-run] instead of making lifestyle changes that would rectify a lot of damage and prevent further destruction. Many are unwilling to make a change to fresh wholesome food and a little exercise.
“It would be pretty nutty for the person who doubts to say, “You know my thoughts? Oh, so you must be God then.””
Well, the disciples took Jesus’ omniscience as plain proof of his divine origin:
‘His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”’ - John 16:29-30
