”If god is all knowing then why perform any tests since he knows the result?”
Answer:
In the movie “The Invention of Lying” everyone is such that they cannot but tell the truth. Then, suddenly the hero realizes that he has a freedom to either lie or to tell the truth. In other words, he as the first human being develops free will. And only then he becomes fully human. Only then, he becomes capable of faith, hope and love. Without the free will there is no humanity. And without the tests or trials there is no free will.
Another little pointer: Have you ever thought of the fact that the tests are actually primarily for the student and not for the teacher? Teacher might know that you will or will not pass a test, but for you to know it, it is good to have the test. Why? If you pass the test, you will have more confidence, more faith. If you fail, it will still increase your knowledge of yourself and make you more receptive of the assistance that the teacher is trying to offer you.
