I think we all fight with this idea ... and its because we don't have the same abilities as God does that we have problems understandint it

Remember as Doomonyou said God is not a man and he does not think as a man does ...he does not have the same restrictions as we do when concerning time and space ... someone said that God looks at time or history of all things like we look at a painting he can look at the begining and the end and back and forth ... time does not exist in the same manner for God as it does for us ... He is the creator surely the one that creates is not subject to his creation ... this is something that is beyond our realm on comprehension ...if we could comprehend it we would have the abilities of God ...

I believe there is only a problem if you believe God is omniscient - as it would negate free will.

For example:

There are two objects on a table. An apple and an orange.

God is omniscient, and therefore knows with 100% absolute certainty you will eat the orange. Is it possible to eat the apple?

If yes - Then God is not omniscient, and you have freewill.
If no - Then one does not have free will, since you cannot eat the apple.



Prove to me "foreknowledge" negates choice. Personal decision drove the mental process that allowed us to conclude apple or orange based mainly on previous experience. That God would know we favored oranges and would pick them over apples was inconsequential to our choosing. Also try to think of God as expanding beyond past, present and future.
