You still haven't shown how it's even possible.... If god knows what you'll do then you're fated to do that action. How is it possible to do the opposite of what god has fated you to do?Ceepea,
People don't want me to keep repeating the same things over and over. Just because GOD knows your decisions doesn't mean you don't have one. It's that simple.
So, god created everything, has a specific plan for everyone, knows everything everyone will do, but people still make their own decisions? lolGOD knows YOUR decisions, but they are still YOUR decisions. Understand?
Now there's thinking! My guess is I've 4 hours to do, so might work out just fine.It's a audio book growan, why not listen while trimming?
So, before anything ever existed, god knew everything that was going to happen for eternity. He created everything according to his will, and has a plan for everything in creation. He knew Lucifer would fall, he knew the snake would tempt Eve, he knew about the fall from Eden, he knew about every sin that every person who ever existed would commit, (after all it's part of his plan). He knows what you'll do, think, and say before you do, but somehow, we still have free will.what don't you understand ceepea? You can choose anything...To worship GOD and not sin, Or to Hate GOD and defy his existence and kill people. Everything you do is your own decision GOD made you yes, and knows your decision. But GOD didn't make you sin. In fact GOD commands no one sins. We CAN as in have the ability, but can't because GOD forbids it. But we have freewill to do anything. You could run outside naked attacking stop signs singing the west side story, you have free will. I mean it would be a sin to go do that, children running around and such don't reveal your nakedness to anyone but your wife. But do you understand the concept?
lol at some point he's gonna have to realize that actions are just as important as belief. I respect the witnesses because the bible says you will know the wolves by their fruit because a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit.Those poor witnesses! Sounds like you really pissed on their cornflakes...
If the future is not set in stone (which according to the laws of physics, it certainly is) then there could be no omniscience and god could not know beforehand what is to occur. In your example, god is not omniscient and that person you mentioned does have free will. God is becoming aware of his decision AFTER he made it, that is not the definition of omniscience. Our point is that if god DID know what was going to happen, there would be no free will, as there could be no choice. There's a world of difference between free will and the illusion of free will...Ceepea, ghostdriv, let me explain free will since both of you won't ever quit. As the saying goes, the future isn't set in stone. The reason Jesus said not even the angels know when the earth will be destroyed is because the future isn't set in stone.
Example: if you feel like murdering someone, God will feel who is about to die but if you change your mind halfway to his house than God will know that no one is going to die. God also has the option to stop you because he's more powerful and nothing can stop it.
I never believed in true free will anyway, with all those stories of God messing with populations. Which reminds me...Our point is that if god DID know what was going to happen, there would be no free will, as there could be no choice. There's a world of difference between free will and the illusion of free will...
