Hello Ron,
Is God Omniscient??
I believe the following Scripture will answer your question:
Psalms 147:5:
[CLV] Great is our Lord and vast in vigor; As to His understanding, there is no enumeration of it.
[ASV] Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
[GW] Our Lord is great, and his power is great. There is no limit to his understanding.
[CEV] Our LORD is great and powerful! He understands everything.
God Bless.

George this statement you made caught my eye: Remember, Jesus Christ Is God Before He became flesh. The perfecting and obedience was for learning and experiencing what His Creation was going through First hand in the flesh. I not sure what you mean by this and I do not mean any disrespect. According to Ray's teachings, Jesus is not God the Father. God the Father is not Jesus in Human form. Also, Why would God need to become flesh for perfecting obedience for learning, and to experience first hand what His creation is going through? Is He not God. Sorry, Like I said no disrespect.

To All
I do appreciate all of the responses to my question.
One thing that I have always held to is the AKJV and not literally every word that is printed in it. The reason for this is I cannot accept the words that were added by the translators and the editors. Too many times the added words change the meaning of what the scripture intended to say.
Eventhough, I hold to the AKJV because it is nearer the truth than any of the other translations. I believe that when man puts his hand to the original scripture, he leads us farther from the truth.
Rather than even refer to all of the translations out there, which in my opinion mislead the reader, I would prefer to let the Holy Spirit lead me into all truth and disregard what all of these other translators offer.
Too many times one seeks to find a bible that says what he wants to hear, instead of seeking the real truth that came out of God's mouth in the beginning.

Hello Ron,
I would have to respectfully disagree with that statement. The KJV, though not the worst of translations, is very inconsistent on many parts.
1. How does "sheol" get translated into both "grave" and "hell"???
grave--A place of burial
hell--The abode of condemned souls and devils in some religions; the place of eternal punishment for the wicked after death, presided over by Satan
2. How does "hades" likewise get translated into both "grave" and "hell"???
3. How come the Hebrew "Ge Hinnom" is translated "valley of Hinnom", but its Greek Equivalent "Gehenna" is translated "Hell"???
4. How does "aion/aionios"get translated into "age, world, everlasting, eternal, forever and ever"??
age--a period of history marked by some feature or characteristic; era
world--The earth with its inhabitants
everlasting/eternal-- Being without beginning or end; existing outside of time
forever-- For everlasting time; eternally
You wanna talk about confusion and misleading... it doesn't get much worse than that!

Imagine defining the word "white" like this: "white, WHITE LIGHT, bright, maximum lightness, brilliant, blanch, off-white, shaded, light gray, dark gray, between light and dark, dark gray, dark, COAL BLACK." Does anything [anyone] see a problem with my definition of "white?" Does anyone see a problem with Strong's definition of "aion/aionios?"
Well I am aware that there are far worse translations that the KJV and it's family of bibles, I am also aware that there are far better ones that help a great deal.
Ron: "I believe that when man puts his hand to the original scripture, he leads us farther from the truth."
I don't understand where you get this idea... Are you suggesting that man's translations are BETTER and MORE ACCURATE than the Original language that was DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY GOD HIMSELF???
If you haven't already, I highly recommend you reading these articles by Ray:
