Another absolute word : Omniscient, meaning all-knowing.

I had a humorous conversation a few years ago with a friend of mine who was a Lutheran Minister. Dennis made the comment, "God doesn't know what you're going to do," and I said, "Whoa! I thought thatGod is Omniscient!" Dennis, said, "He is," and I countered, "But you say I could pull the wool over God's eyes. I though he was all-knowing. You're saying he sure knows a lot, but he doesn't know that I'm going to do next?" Dennis stuck to his guns, even though he knew he wasn't making any sense. In his eyes, God is semi-Omniscient, I guess.
