Is God still learning?

Kenneth Clark:
If God learned, is He still learning?

gregorydc:
No because scripture says he is perfect. What else is there if you have achieved perfection?

I think we err when/if we assume that knowing all things is boring for God.  ::)

When a teacher in elementary school who knows her subject and goals completely, works with a new group of students every year and shares her knowledge with them and watches them grow and mature in the use of knowledge it is very enjoyable.

Once all the students that are going to be born are born, then the teacher moves to the advanced school room and begins again with those students who have graduated and lived a productive life and are now ready to learn the deeper things of nature. Once again the teacher is pleased and involved to be working with the advanced students. It's all good.

Of course with God the teaching is never over because the increase of knowledge on the part of the students continues to increase into the ages of the ages.

Maybe God gets new ideas as the work of the ages progresses, but that is a plus. The real point is does God learn from anyone else superior to God? No I don't believe that God does. God learns from His own counsel and God is the source of ALL things.

Does 'learning' represent changing?

I would agree on this line that if God learned it happened in the past long before our creation. As ray hinted, God knew evil but if He was the only one around and He is good and in Him their is no shadow of turning then where did He get this knowledge of evil?

There is much about our Father we simply cannot know for now other than speculate from what little we do have.

God does not change, we know this. God is perfect, we know this. So if God learned (Which is possible), it has already happened and He is no longer learning as learning would imply changing.

If there is one thing we know for certain is that God is not a baby with a golden spoon in His mouth whose never had to do a single days labor of hard work. God is alot more awesome than I think most people realize.

When I think of God, I think of Him as that super hero who overcome all adversity and odds. With that evil, whatever it was, that he had to deal with to attain that knowledge long before any of this ever existed. Ah.. I wonder what it was, what oh what was He dealing with. Hmm...
