let me think back the last years of parenthood, oh nevermind
as this is a trick question
no matter which way I answer, you'll tie it to God with another illogical statement
our daughter is adopted so she doesn't have my genes
however, just this week, she said she takes after me
If it really is true that you know what your daughter will do with absolute certainty, where is her free will? For it would be impossible for her to ever change what she does.my first answer was actually,
"never, as I know her too well" but changed my answer as figured a trick question
we have a mother-daughter journal so she shares a lot of personal things with me
OK, you are here. Did God know if you were going to read this thread?
If yes, then how can you have free will? For you had to click that button, and there is no way you could have done anything but read this.
But if God did not know, how can he be all knowing?
she has free will and makes lots of her own choices
I just know her so well
why is that difficult to understand?
she might change her mind on doing an activity, for example & then I'll say "knew you were going to change your mind."
her choice to change her mind, not mine
but I can read her like a book
also, husband and I were finishing each other's sentences when we were dating
does that mean we had NO choice as to what we each said?
Icreated beings are matter - and matter is still controlled by fundamental forces.
I
That's it. I am matter and energy that responds to physical forces. That matter creates a feeling of "me" that sure seems to be free.
a god is still not "free" in terms of will. In fact, little g gods running amok may very well know their appointed times, and they rely on us (energy from the surroundings) to change their appointed internal energy/predestination. Our ignorance and/or allegiance provides them with an illusion of external "energy" that can change an otherwise "ideal" system whose end is predictable and founded.
If God knows you are going to do something, do you or do you not have the freewill to do it different from what he knows?and yes, I have free will
I'm not a puppet
Rolling on the floor laughing! You know everything your child will do and you will never ever be surprised at her actions!no, she doesn't but then she's not a teen, yet
and yes, I have free will
I'm not a puppet
Wait, what?
Are you making this stuff up?
Ah, so the Dr mistakenly thought he was dead, yes?look in the Bible
there are passages where people changed God's mind
I can't tell you where but saw it on another thread one day
people can pray and God will often intervene
there's a movie that was out last year about a boy that died, was pronounced dead by the Dr
the mother came in and prayed and he came back to life
Chrissy Metz played the mom
true story
No, I don't agree, and you shouldn't either if you replied no to my question. If God knows something because it is true, rather than vice versa, then God knew that I would read the thread because I would, rather than I read this thread because God knew I would.No.
Again, what I said is, if God knows for sure that you will do something, then you [would] have no choice but to do what he knows. Do you agree?
Again, what I said is, if God knows for sure that you will do something, then you [would] have no choice but to do what he knows. Do you agree?
No, I don't agree.
No, because if I were to choose differently, he would know that instead.Ok, so if God knows for sure that you will do something, then you would have the choice to do different from what he knows.
Is that your final answer?
