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. See why? Suppose he knows that he will part the Red Sea? If he is infallible in this ability, he can't change his mind.

This was pointed out in another thread, but is relevant here, as well: You seem to be operating under the assumption that "god" is some sort of infallible fortune teller. This is an unsympathetic reading of spiritual belief. Rather, god supposedly exists independent of time. There's no 'seeing the future', as all moments are occurring simultaneously from his perspective. Do you see why this obviates your analysis above?
