John,
Your error of course is that you have not differentiated between
'cannot' and
'will not' as well as a pretty severe misunderstanding of His nature as well as a nasty case of anthropomorphization (sp?). <g>
In this particular case, as God is omniscient there is no need to ask Himself anything as He already knows the answer. <g>
Your presumption that there was something He did not know is, of course, not correct. However, I must in the interest of being completely candid point out that God
does NOT need me to defend Him. *BG*
Best,
DD
