I agree with the baloney part, but they kind of have a whole book, the one they’re most focused on atm, that is all about what’s certainly to come. It’s not this may happen. It’s a certainty.
I’ve never heard a Christian, ever, claim that God doesn’t know the future. Like I don’t think you’d get that answer out of a single minister ever.
Your argument isn’t anything I’ve ever heard
This question of free will vs. clairvoyance comes up a lot in pop culture
Yeah, it’s a conundrum I’ve seen explored, but not in Christianity. There is free will. But God knows which way you’ll eventually choose according to the script. We don’t. He does. That’s the plot. The entirety of their religion is based on a series of events occurring in the future that will foretell the eventual return. It’s not subject to what ifs or unless someone does this and alters the future instead. Obviously it’s mythology, but not to it’s adherents, and I don’t know how they reconcile prophets being wrong without disavowing the prophet as full of it
If God was truly omniscient and controlled everything for everyone, that would be terrible.
Every single decision you made was already picked....God has made some really dull choices, like this post I am making.
So omnipresent seems to make more sense to me with us all having free will......I was raised catholic.
Even if you take omniscience out of the picture, there is a philosophic idea called determinism that raises the same problem.
If you could simulate the universe in a computer, you'd know the precise location and velocity of every single atom. From one second to the next you could project exactly how everything will behave, since you also know all the physical rules. Even complex systems like weather patterns would be easy to predict. You'll know exactly how certain planets and stars will form just based on initial conditions. You could observe an individual person's brain to know exactly what neurons are firing and what the outcome will be, and then which ones will fire next. That person's entire life can be mapped out. Everything that he ever does is predetermined. The real world could work the same way, even if nobody has access to the particle location/velocity information.
This is a very old idea. Maybe quantum mechanics punches a hole in it, since there does seem to be randomness going on at that scale.
LOL...Anna is a complete nut job.
Trump is not the chosen one.
Show your tits or GTFO.

She’s either determined that it’s financially beneficial for her to promote Lord Trump or she’s a Russian spy sent here to sow discord. Just can’t figure out which it is.
Woman is batshit
