[QUOTE="expos4ever, post: 69075108, member: 233757"] A very interesting question (Freewill), of course. With respect to your A,B question: I believe your scenario is not possible - if God knows you will choose A, you will indeed choose A, but can still do so perfectly "freely". I [B][U]used[/U][/B] to think that if God knows that I will choose A, this robs me of my freedom to choose B. But I have since been convinced this is not so, although I forget the relevant argument (which is relatively subtle, if I recall). Also, your A, B question can be completely generalized away from a religious setting. In other words, if we imagine that there is [B][U]any agent[/U][/B] who perfectly knows the future, you get the same fundamental question. [/QUOTE]
