Who besides God is Omniscient

[ladybowhntr]

Is there any indication in the Bible that any man or created being besides God is capable of being everywhere? Knowing everything? Hearing everything? Seems like many like to give satan credit for being able to be everywhere and know all ourthoughts. But when satan fell he took 1/3 of the angels with him. I belive there may be enough fallen angels roaming the earth that can influence or be familiar with every person. But none alone is capable of being everwhere or knowing everything that is said or done. I also don't believe there is anyone in heaven besides God that is capable of being everywhere at once or even hearing prayers from earth. That is why I believe it is impossible for Mary or any dead saint to hear anyones prayers. For if Mary were capable of hearing every catholic prayer each day from a Billion catholics she would indeed have to be like God. That is why I pray only to God.

I would agree, only God knows all.

Only God is all-knowing. The devil seems to be that way, but he doesn't actually know our thoughts, he just knows how we think better than we do ourselves.

I gree 100%. I also think that we give the devil more credit than he deserves ..... IMO, most of the struggles christians face are flesh related ...

Hermas
"[The Shepherd said:] 'But those who are weak and slothful in prayer, hesitate to ask anything from the Lord; but the Lord is full of compassion, and gives without fail to all who ask Him. But you, [Hermas,] having been strengthened by the holy angel [you saw], and having obtained from Him such intercession, and not being slothful, why do not you ask of the Lord understanding, and receive it from Him?'" (The Shepherd 3:5:4 [A.D. 80]).



Clement of Alexandria
"In this way is he [the true Christian] always pure for prayer. He also prays in the society of angels, as being already of angelic rank, and he is never out of their holy keeping; and though he pray alone, he has the choir of the saints standing with him [in prayer]" (Miscellanies 7:12 [A.D. 208]).
Origen
"But not the high priest [Christ] alone prays for those who pray sincerely, but also the angels . . . as also the souls of the saints who have already fallen asleep" (Prayer 11 [A.D. 233]).
Cyprian of Carthage
"Let us remember one another in concord and unanimity. Let us on both sides [of death] always pray for one another. Let us relieve burdens and afflictions by mutual love, that if one of us, by the swiftness of divine condescension, shall go hence the first, our love may continue in the presence of the Lord, and our prayers for our brethren and sisters not cease in the presence of the Father's mercy" (Letters 56 [60]:5 [A.D. 253]).

"Atticus, sleep in peace, secure in your safety, and pray anxiously for our sins" (funerary inscription near St. Sabina's in Rome [A.D. 300]).
