Question 12


Modern Adaptation

Question: Does God know everything?

Answer: Yes; nothing is hidden from God.


Traditional Formulation

Question: Does God know all things?

Answer: Yes; nothing can be hid from God.


Adaptation Commentary

Substituting “all things” for “everything”, see note on Question 2. Substituting “is hidden” for “can be hid” for more direct phrasing to emphasize God’s knowledge rather than human’s inability (c.f. Hebrews 4:13 ESV/NIV).
