It depends what I would do with this knowledge.

If I would enjoy it and I would want to remain that way it would be a curse.
God would not want to have fellowship with me.

If I were all knowing I would immediately know that I'm a big sinner.
I would know that I would have to repent immediately and submit my life to God.
I would know that only through Christ I can have total forgiveness and that He wants to be Lord of my life.

But I don't need to be all knowing for that.
I just need to read the Scriptures to know what I should do and that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life

I suppose I would lead a highly successful but very dull and boring life.

Most of the excitement and sense in accomplishment in life come not from knowing but from the process of finding out. I can't imagine a life with no mystery or discovery in it as being a life worth living.

Only God is all knowing. I wouldn't want to be God.

I don't think our brains could deal with that much information. Not possible

It's really hard to know. It would certainly be a bit of both - it would be nice to know for sure whether the people who claim to like me really do like me, it would be good to know for sure who is genuine and who is not, but at the same time I imagine there would be a lot of disappointment that would come with it. Being all-knowing would mean knowing who was fake, who was putting on a show with ulterior motives, who was associating with me for what they hoped to get out of it and so on.

It could save a lot of time, because if someone isn't truly interested in learning there's no point trying to teach them. On that basis it would be a benefit to know for sure who was growing slowly because they were struggling but genuinely trying, and who was growing slowly because they really weren't interested and were only putting on a show.
