I think you need to understand that you are making this way more complex than it really is. If God created time (and is not affected by it), then he must be able to predict the future. Do you really think that God has no idea of what you will be doing tomorrow, or what will be your next meal?

 

For the millionth time: God cannot be omniscient while still not be able to see the future. Here is the definition of omniscient:

"Having infinite awareness, understanding, and insight" also: "Possessed of universal or complete knowledge"

 

The knowledge is not complete, in God's case.

Considering you completely deleted my post, I would have to then treat your post as its own entity, without context.

As for predicting anything, the word predicting seems off when everything is known.  it is just knowing.  Beyond this, whatever else you are talking about isn't really anything.   You have missed a few points here, how knowing everything connects to anything at all, points which usuall get brought up when discussing things in this area.  I believe you also have seemed to confuse having concern for with knowing.  One can know every detail, but not find aspects of those details important.  Also, one find things of far greater importance in the big picture.

If you want to discuss, then be open to details.  If you just want to yammer on and on, and supposedly justify your own points in your own mind, that is must simplier.  Just say you believe what you believe and be done with it, and don't feel the compulsion to change the mind of others you know nothing about.  The short is, have more security in what you feel, without needing to validate it by getting confirmation on what others think.


Bolded: I don't know why you put so much weight into making that point. We both know what I meant, and by flawlessly being able to predict the future you obviously also know what will happen and when.

I mean, as humans we can predict lots of things that will happen in the future extremely accurately, but sometime we forget certain details which renders our calculation inaccurate. God, on the other hand, would not make those errors. Present is entirely shaped by the past (which cannot change), thus the future is shaped by present (which then cannot change). 

Underlined: That's what I have been doing the entire time, which is supposed to make others question their faith. It is up to others to convince me that I'm wrong if they wish to do so, or they could just ignore posting in this thread.

Italics: I have full security in what I feel. Jesus wanted to spread his view of how He think that others should live (so do God...), so why shouldn't I be allowed to do so?
