can an ordinary god predict future?

RE: can an ordinary god predict future?
Your friend is more ignorant of Christianity than you are Welsh Cake. I guess he's the nominal kind of Christian.
1. If God is omniscient and timeless then God knows everything in this time frame.
2. The garden of Eden story is a myth*.
3. All mainstream Christians agree on the attributes of God

* I don't mean “myth” in the pejorative sense common in anti-theist sentiment, viz. an invented or imaginary story. I mean it in the real and classic sense of “a traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society” (as found in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004). (- courtesy Arcanus)
