In the Religious Educator Vol. 7 No. 2 from 2006 Roger K. Terry attempts a theological treatise on the Latter-day Saint belief of God’s omniscience. A friend shared it with me after we discussed whether God has a future. I believe Roger reads verses and quotes loosely on this topic, and I hope to offer some commentary on his argument. I have put my responses into a scrollytelling website with my comments on the side as you read through his article.

Our western society has been diverging quickly on the understanding of knowledge. Some feel that it is our personal liberty to know what we want to know and that our individual freedom allows us to ignore experts that have spent a lifetime building up knowledge in a domain. Others argue that all deference must be given to experts and that we are not justified in criticizing experts as our understanding is too limited.

I have written posts that included references to the Lectures on Faith in the past.1 I used those previous posts to discuss the attribute of the faith of God directly. This post discusses the attribute of the knowledge of God and how the Lectures describe His knowledge. We should carefully recognize what the Lectures on Faith explain about the knowledge of God to see what knowledge of God we must understand for our faith to grow.
