A few questions for Christians...
#6
RE: A few questions for Christians...
Free will and precognition are contradictory.

I understand many religious people need both sides of the contradiction in order to continue to simultaneously pimp up their God, and excuse it from all accountability. I'd recommend dropping the pimping part, personally. A less than all powerful God can have valid excuses made on its behalf.

If our time is irrelevant to God, he knows everything we will do at the very instant he creates our reality. It has been pretermined, by him. He could have made things differently, to make us act any way he wants. Why he is creating this theatre to which he knows all the endings is another question, very rarely asked. Boredom, I guess. An experiment? Sadism. Ah yes.

If god doesn't have his own time, or some sort of equivalent, he can't act. He can't change anything. He certainly can't create anything, because there must have been some state beforehand in which the thing did not exist in that form.
