Attributes of God - God is Omniscient

This is one of the easiest attributes to wrap a limited, human brain around.  Very simply, God knows everything; past, present, future, God knows.  God's knowledge of the future is the only troublesome point.  Many people equate knowledge of future events with the causation of future events.  In other words, the idea is that if God knows what will happen then He is responsible for what happens.  This thought is a shortcoming of beings that have a temporal existence.  We simply cannot conceive of an existence apart from time; God can.  Time is a dimension of the universe; God exists completely apart from the universe.  Before and after (from our perspective) the beginning and end of our Universe, God simply is.
