| Mensrea said: I feel like it's a cop out answer simply made to justify the existence of God. If God knows everything, and made us, then he made some of us knowing we would sin. You can't just say "well it doesn't apply to God." Because based on those characteristics, he has to know, and he has to have made some of us to fail. |
If he did, then we simply never had free will. It is based again on the idea that all our choices trickle one from the other. But if we had free will, that determinism is impossible.
So if God knew, it's simply because he knows, not because he saw a pattern, but because he knows WITHOUT a pattern.
That's where my mind was blown. And it makes sense, because he had to have been there to know, and the bible states that he is the Alfa and the Omega, and that he is not bound by time... it's insane.
