If God Exists, He Does Not Know That People on Earth Have Split into Various Churches

This very strange, even paradoxical, statement was heard during a live Q&A.

The Christian Church was founded neither by the apostles, nor by communities of believers, nor by historical circumstance, but by Jesus Christ Himself. How can He be unaware of His own creation?

Moreover, God is omniscient and outside time, and knows not only the facts of our earthly life but also the intentions of men.

The assertion "God does not know" is incompatible with the concept of God that exists in Christianity. That is, the statement ascribes to the Lord the properties of a non-God.

As for the division of the churches, Christian theology explains it both by the free will of man and by historical causes, as well as by the sinful limitedness of human beings.

Yes, churches are human institutions, but God cannot fail to know of them, and as to the division of the churches, it is not known whether God approves of it.

The very idea that the True God has no bearing on confessional boundaries is, in essence, a criticism of ecclesiastical institutionalism. And yes, God is not a subject within the church, but it would be wrong to expect that God must recognise human classifications as ontologically significant.

Therefore, at most, it would be correct to say:

The Lord does not identify Himself with confessional boundaries created by men
