Part L #2
If some say that prophets were able to read the hearts of people (cf. 2 Kings 6:12; Acts 5:3-5) we must remember that although they had more insight than others they were never said to be able to know the totality of the hearts of all people. Only God has this knowledge (omniscience).

yeah you're right.
telepathy involves communicating between minds of people/persons it seems more in a willing manner.
Ananias did not want Peter to know what he (Ananias) was thinking - the same with the king of Syria and Elisha.Last edited by foudroyant; 02-25-2014, 06:26 PM.

I would also add that since Roman Catholics pray to Mary but at the same time insist that she is not to be worshiped (latria) I wonder if they can point out anywhere in the Bible where prayer is occurring but it is not worship.
Let's see their example(s).Last edited by foudroyant; 02-25-2014, 08:21 PM.

A person may know what another person is thinking but they do not know the totality of their heart. That is the difference.
"Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may live on account of you." (Genesis 12:13, NASB).
That's not the same thing as the prayer I am referring to. Need I instead cite the Greek words along with their definitions?

To hear all prayers and the motivations of all the hearts behind these prayers requires omniscience.
There are several prayers in the Bible not rendered unto God and everyone of them was an act of worship. For example, in 1 Kings 18:26 the followers of Baal prayed " "O Baal, answer us." (NASB)
Praying to Baal is worshiping Baal.

I think I spoke a bit too quickly in that post, but if Christ had to be born to a sinful woman... then in some sense of the word he would have be saved from sin himself. Mary was saved from sin, she neither earned it or deserved it, this was a gift given to her. In some sense she was also saved by the works of her Son, because without Him, she would have fallen as well.Last edited by Leonhard; 02-26-2014, 06:57 AM.
