God Knows all?

[ZachLegoNinja]

If a genius met an average person, it would be possible or even easy for the genius to convince the average person that a particular thought or action was "good". Because the genius has access to more knowledge, he can twist, change, or even not mention certain facts in order to support his own statements.
Take this further by having that genius meet a total moron, and with enough time, that genius could make the moron do anything he wants.
Now, the ultimate extreme of this: God and man. Please tell me how we could possibly know that He isn't toying with us by giving and holding back different kinds of knowledge, just to bend us to His will. It would be so easy for Him to trick us.

If that were true...He made us, we are at His disposal...But God is good and He only desires good for us

You have a whole lot more people to overcome before you ever tackle God, since there are a whole lot more people smarter than you.

Perhaps it is just one of those smarter people that has already tricked you into believing what you just wrote.

No, i thought up this myself, and then surprisingly, i couldn't come up with a valid response. I then became curious how people might respond, and posted it as a thread.

So you think maybe the world has been duped for thousands of years ?

I don't believe it's true, but it's just an interesting thought that it's possible.

God's Word is truth. You learn that by living it. Truth does not lie or toy with you.

I have met geniuses and morons, but I have never met any genius that could make a moron do anything he wants.

I'm not saying that just any genius does that, but if he wanted to, he could make the moron believe something that would put the genius in at leasta good light

I don't know Zach, what are you driving at ? Are you a genius or a moron ?

Somewhere in the middle.

Not really.
Most morons are not smart enough to be fooled by a genius and most geniuses are unable to talk at a level that a moron can understand.
