Remember
the former things of old:
for I am
God
, and there is none else;
I am God, and there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning
,
and from
ancient
times the things that are not yet done,
saying, My
counsel
shall stand, and I will do
all
my pleasure.
(
Isaiah
46:9-10)
All these things spake
Jesus
unto the multitude in
parable
s; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
That it might be
fulfill
ed which was spoken by the
prophet
, saying, I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter things which have been kept
secret
from the foundation of the world
.
(
Matthew
13:35)
The
Lord
is not
slack
concerning his
promise
, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering toward us, not
will
ing that
any
should perish,
but that
all
should come to
repentance
.

Peter
3:9)
The
beast
that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit
, and go into
perdition
:
and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder
,
whose names were not written in the
book of life
from the foundation of the world
,
when they
behold
the beast that
was, and is not, and yet is
.
(
Revelation
17:8)
And the
Spirit

And let him who
hear
s say, "Come!"
And let him who
thirst
s come.
Whoever
desire
s, let him take the water of life
freely
.

(A note prompted by feedback: Biblical quotes do not constitute a logical argument, nor is this post intended as such. It is intended as information as to what one religion's canonical text has to say on the topics of "omniscience" and "free will" as such abstractions, though often religious in tenor, tend to be broadly used, and it can be useful to have a reference for what a religion directly states relative to them. If you know of references of other religions' canonical texts on this topic, I'd personally like to see them posted here, and personally would *not* like to see biblical quotes arbitrarily posted to the nodegel!)
