There is no disconnect, CB. You are taking offense at someone sounding out the different aspects of your belief on God’s omniscience. To ask if there was ever a time that God didn’t know everything is perfectly reasonable since there are entire groups that believe that God is omniscient and that He can remain that way without knowing every contingency.
The latest iteration of that idea is “open theology”.
It is always better simply to be forbearing and to assume there are reasons someone would ask a question. I’ve known Marlowe for a decade, and he is not a rude man. He is, however, extremely experienced and astute in theology, as are metmom, Harley, and Alamo.
The problem is that the question has been answered several times and keeps being asked. That's frustrating.
The debate about whether God knows every contingency is pointless as there is no Scriptural support for it, or even mention of it as far as I know.
As far as I see it, God DOES know every contingency. It would be part of His omniscience. It would enable Him to make sure that all things work together for good for those called according to His purpose.
Omniscient
having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.

LOL Then I would say they also have a disconnect of some sort with the understanding of what omniscient means.
