He knows all. However, upon C, when he created you, he did not concern himself with your choice. He made you as he willed regardless of what choices you would or would not make, simply because it pleased him to make a being with the will to choose. Whether he knew, ultimately, which choice you would one day make because of his transcendance of time and ability to know all, the moment he made you, he did not concern himself with that. He simply made you a person with the constant ability to choose, irrespective of his omniscience. A pessimistic philosopher spent his days understanding the world around him, writing about it. Odd thing is he always had a fascination for art. It was his passtime. Every now and then, taking a moment away from his vocation, he would sit in front of a canvas to enter a world of imagination. Laying his pessimism aside for a moment, he made works based on his dreams, dreams of beauty. I have no idea how the almighty omniscient creator made us with a choice, but if choice is a reality, I believe he more than anyone could pull it off. |
A lot of words but you really haven't answered my question. I know God doesn't concern himself with my choice but he still KNOWS I'd choose B. Is it still possible for me to choose A even though God knows I'd choose B?
To clarify: I KNOW the oceans are being fished dry and that it is terrible but I don't concern myself with it most of the time as I still eat fish just the same. This, however, doesn't change the fact. The oceans are still being fished dry and I know it.
