Forgetful God?

EDante, Tharae, 10 June 2006

Does God forget? I believe He does not forget the way human forgets but God has the ability to deliberately put a particular event, person and place out of His memory if He wants to. Listen to this: When Adam and Eve sinned, God forgot the sin so He can love in full His creatures; When Abraham and Sarah distrusted God, God forgot their lack of faith so He fulfilled his promise of numerous descendants for Abraham. When Jacob’s children sin against Joseph, God forgot their crime so He could save the family from famine. When the Jews led by Moses complained to God, God forgot their impatience so He leads them to the promise land; When David committed adultery, God forgot the sin because He sees the greatest repentance in David. See how God must forget in order to love?
