Default Re: THE ANSWER

[ QUOTE ]

This means that if there is a God that will interact with humans in any way, he can't know the future unless he gives up his OWN FREE WILL.


[/ QUOTE ]

This isn't exactly correct. God created the universe, forseeing all that would happen. He did so freely, He was not constrained by any outside force or consideration. Presumably He could choose from an infinite (at least to us) number of possible worlds and chose this one, freely. He won't change what He already knows will happen or has Himself determined to do because He's honest. So He is bound by His character.

Suppose he knows that he will part the Red Sea?


[/ QUOTE ]

He doesn't just know it as a future event but He determines (freely) that it will happen.

[ QUOTE ]

The fact is that from what I can see, most religious people should not resist the notion that God can't see the future.

Perhaps open thesim (neotheism) is for you. Since what they worship isn't really God anyway.
