Does God react, relent or change in response to man?

[jbh28]

DHK, you just said Jesus limited himself as a man, and I agree. But didn't God have to also limit himself to appear to men in the OT? Why, if he had appeared in his glory they would have fallen dead on the spot, man cannot look on God and live.
So, when God appeared to Cain he may have been in this limited state and perhaps did not know where Abel was.

perhaps....but no Scripture to back it up. Of course I have already given Scripture that says that God knows everything, but you keep ignoring that.

And of course when Jesus said he was a door it was figurative, that is obvious, but that is not the type of language he was using when he spoke to Abraham.
The fact remains that at times God spoke as if he did not know some things, and you cannot explain it any better than I can. The difference is that I don't pretend to know everything as some here seem to believe of themselves.

I don't pretend to know everything, but God does know everything. You either believe God knows everything or you don't. I stand with the Bible where it says that God knows everything. You stand by speculation because you don't understand something.

There are differences between the natures.

That sounds like Nestorianism.

See, this is a false dichotomy. Christ, being 100% God chose not to know everything (I stand with the Bible on that fact). You try to separate His natures, but in doing so you butcher the hypostatic union. Option 3 is "there are some things we cannot understand".
