Subject: do we have any free will? |
Bible Note: Dear Joe, I seem to always be misunderstood in this forum, perhaps I won't post anymore. At no time did I go against anything you said--you only percieved that I did because we use different words. Your objection to my first question actually limits God by attributing "foresight" to Him instead of complete omniscience. Your objection to my second question misses the point completely, I asked if we share omniscience with God, in which the answer is no. You however pose a senseless objection in the form of a question: Again, is God someone who just KNOWS, or someone who CAUSES? The question is whether or not we share the knowledge of all events with God. Your objection to my fifth question is because I used the word "then" at the end of my sentence: Do we have complete free will to choose then? Absolutely. I used "then" to signify the culmination of my line of questioning (the end that was gradually led to). To make a long story short, it is possible to have a universe completely predetermined and known by One Being, while at the same time giving His creations free-will. This only seems to be a paradox to us, but it's not to God. Note: Quantum physics predicts that if an outcome is observed by anyone, it collapses all other possiblities and makes the outcome a reality. Ponder that for a moment. God Bless, Take care everyone. I won't be posting anymore. I can't say anything without having my words picked apart. Take care, Rob |
