"When God existed alone, there was no time universe, and there were no new facts arising. The only knowledge activity that existed was completed in the circuit of the mutually exhaustive personalities of the triune God. It is only with respect to man that we can speak of a relation of the a priori and the a posteriori elements of knowledge. Such a distinction cannot exist in God ... There is no novelty in God, and there can be no novelty for God."1 (Italics emphasis mine.)
God doesn't learn.
He is.
He knows.
He is True knowledge.
Hallelujah.
