Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 27, 2022

Shortly after Jesus healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethsaida (John 5:1-15), He was confronted by the religious officials who wanted Him dead for saying that God was His Father, making Himself equal withe God. Jesus responded with facts to back up His claim.

Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omniscient, Satan Is Not Eternal Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022

Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Unlike God, Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus: Satan isn’t omniscient, Satan isn’t eternal.

*********************** Satan Is Not OMNISCIENT (All-Knowing) Remember at the opening of the first scene, God asked Satan, “From where have you come?” Job 1:7 Since God is omniscient (all-knowing), He doesn’t need to ask this question.
