Theists: How can predetermined fate and free will coexist?
#86
RE: Theists: How can predetermined fate and free will coexist?
That's omniscience, the omnipotent part is where you have the power to determine that "choice" which is thus no longer hers to make.
It's the combination of omniscience and omnipotence that render free-will impossible, paradoxically simultaneously rendering omnipotence impossible.
