Re: God is Not Great

Rather than considering it in temporal terms at a given instance in time … Consider it in perpetual terms … Man chooses, God Knows, man changes decisions, God Knows, man changes decision, God Knows, and on and on … Take this to infinitum and the result is both man has free will and God has full Knowledge … For God the past present and future is the SAME … If we can’t even rationalise this, we can’t possibly learn to understand the dynamics of the free will vs Divine Knowledge debate … But we can conclude using analogy that such is possible.
Alternatively, one can say that at each juncture or decision point, we become aware of alternate realities … Factor up all of the possible junctures and you have exponential growth of possibilities, God Knows them all … We merely choose one path to get to our end point … So one may imagine that a new ‘me’ comes into being upon each new decision that we make, but we are only aware of the ‘me’ that we are associated with in this consciousness.
