@ Saerules: You clearly have full freedom to choose do you not?
Imagine you are God and a my life is a marker pen in your hand. This pen in your hand is a representation of the timeline of my life. As you are God, and existent outside of time, you can look at it at the micro level at any point you choose. You can also zoom out and view it as a whole, or in any way you choose. My linear life follows it's course and I am making choices as I am free to do.
To you, an entity outside of time, my timeline is not multiple. It cannot be. I live my life and make my choices as only a linear being can.
You suggest that time is linear but not knowable to God. How can that be.. with God able to look at your life from the finish point?
Please explain because your point seems illogical.
From a christian perspective you are absolutely correct DLF. The primary course of action should have been to offer practical support. They really are stupid in your neck of the woods aren't they!
