>>19765644John was written 60 to 80 years after Christ's death, and like all the other Gospels was attributed pseudopigraphically by later sects of early Christians. Don't think it's useful to take any of these documents literally at face value.
>>19765641God doesn't "know" in the sense we humans do.
>>19765642>>19765488I think it's a mistake to talk about God having desires or emotions at all, the thing that created the entire universe and inhabits every part of it? The thing that allowed life to form on this planet somehow. God is everywhere and our lives are to him even shorter than what a Mayfly's life is to us. If you want God to notice you, ask yourself what could you possibly do to gain his attention? If you want God to love you, ask yourself how on earth what have you done to possibly deserve his love?
