(May 27, 2023 at 3:11 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: Again, that is an illogical objection because it is basically this. If God is all powerful then he has the power to do what is not possible to do. Of course, this depends on one's theory of time. If you believe the future actually exists instead of possibly existing then you might have a point. I do not believe the future actually exists so it would be impossible to know what the actual choice would be. All future tense knowledge is about possible futures not those that have actualized. Therefore they are not subjects of knowledge. I think since you are making a positive claim, that it is possible to know the future, then your objection is only as good as your proof that certain knowledge of future choices is always possible, not just assuming they are.
But it isn’t unreasonable or illogical that God could know which possible future(s) will be actualized. In the Bible, God is repeatedly shown to be able to do this, both as himself and via his prophets.
