I just did a search at biblegateway.com for the word "omniscient" - I can't find it in the bible. Am I missing something? Why is God said to be imbued with the ability to see perfectly into the future. Couldn't it be that even a being that can create existence from nothing, still be bounded by certain physical laws? If not, wouldn't he be trapped by his own lack of free will? Or, couldn't he have initially possessed free will and then chosen to give it up for himself and the rest of the prescient beings in the universe?
