Yes, He knows that. That's why when the end comes and you cry "foul", your cries will fall on deaf ears.
They usually do when the weak confront the strong.

They usually do when the weak confront the strong.
Of course! When the weak choose to confront the strong they forsake all hope of mercy.
...This works on the premise that man knows that all things where created for the pleasure of god...
Revelation 4:11 (King James Version)
11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Romans 8:28 (King James Version)
28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Jeremiah 29:11 (King James Version)
11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
John 9:39-41 (King James Version)
39And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
If I were to list all the scripture that answers your inquire, or even makes the same arguement that you do, it would be to much. An if I were to expound it ot you by way of reason, to me it would be to much.
Now the question is, do you know god? And these people you've been arguing with, do they know him? And if it is not so, then what is the word of either concerning him? Although I often fail in being critical, I try to keep my reasoning clear, so that when I am corrected, I know it.
There's no question that god exist, or devils. Existence of neither one has been hiddenn from our eye, though our minds are another matter. We often choose for ourselves what the world should look like, rather than be meek. We can choose how we see things to be justifed.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 (King James Version)
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth(god), that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth(god), but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Job 35:2 (King James Version)
2Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
Romans 9:11
11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth
When I first really considered this scripture, it nearly killed me. If it wasn't for the mercy of the lord I would have fallen.
It was a long time before I could approach it in peace, and even longer before I understood. Despite the assault made upon you, I'm glad to see you're not turned aside from your faith in his kindness. Because in that you have it, it may tell you a bit about what kind of vessel you may be. For only god could have given you a depth of knowledge concerning him you seem to have; though it seems your perplexed. If it be you believe him to be good as it appears, you need only have faith and turn to follow. All that we've pursued and grasped, we've pursued in faith according to what was given us. Even to our first breath and our first word.
"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." and again "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Can you hear him?
God is a spirit.
I'am saying only those which are born of his spirit are his children. One shouldn't seeing only the outward, believe they see the whole.
Acts 8:27-31 (King James Version)
27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
You're right, right about so many things. What I'm try to tell you is that the only way you could've seen these things is if god gave you sight.
John 6:44-45
44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
You err in thinking that all men are equal, even as you. If god does not create good people, good people don't exist. Everything's cut and dry, black and white, binary. If you're going to eat the bread, you have to eat the whole roll. One, can not be divided.
Is one to pity the fallen leaf in that it is justifed for a time, then gone? Who is to answer for it? An to whom does it reply? Are you repentant for the microbes when you wash your hands with antibacterial soap?
If there's one thing we should know in this day, it's that the invisible counts.
Luke 18:15-17 (King James Version)
15And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
The question you have to ask yourself is this: whether or not you believe it's just that there is good, and whether it be good to recieve it.
I don't expect you to understand the mechanics because without the holyghost how can you? But god has cared for you everyday of your life, and he has cared for your sons everyday of theirs. When I see what you want, and I see the devices by which you're snared keeping you thinking you hate the only one who can grant it and has granted it. For you to come so close, to be given so much knowledge, then stumble at a small thing as believing that god would destroy the righteous who he created to love him: delight in his works.
Although I would say more, I am left to rest.
