God created "time" therefore he knows everything that happens from the beginning until the end.
We each have a freewill to choose. God only knows beforehand the choices we make because they are made within the realm of "time" which he created.
He, being of the eternal (time does not exist) realm sees from the beginning till the end of time in a matter of a millisecond.

Look at life from his perspective and it really is rather simple, don't you think so?

You still have a freewill to choose. God just knows what your choices are before you make them.

Hm...how completely unfounded, ridiculous and fallacious.

If you're saying he sees what we chose all at once after he creates time then are you suggesting he is not omnipotent and could not determine what would happen before he created time?

No matter how you slice the free will vs. prognostication of the future issue you will run into a logical fallacy.

I'm only glad that as an atheist I'm not stuck defending such a stupid position and I'm not stuck rationalising two things which I know logically cannot be true simultaneously.

You've just added that you have freewill but God knows what you will choose. Do you not see that those two concepts are not compatible? If an entity knows what you will choose before you choose it then you can't really have a choice as it must've been destined that you would make the choice the entity knows of.

We study time. We are learning that time is a Science as difficult to penetrate as any other mystery in this universe. There is so much we, as humans, do not know. But, as the years go by, we learn more and more about this sphere we occupy and the space surrounding it.

It is egotistical to think that God is wasting time thinking of what you are going to have for breakfast or whether you wear your sneakers or your sandals. This universe is so immense, so complex, so filled with miraculous discoveries that we are like kindergartners trying to read a thick book. We haven't even made it to the A.B.C.'s.

So, don't waste your time worrying about what God knows, just realize that the future will bring marvels of medical science, genetics, space travel, and more understanding of this fascinating world. None of us know the powers of God, or the secrets of the universe. All we can do is live according to our consciences and let God worry about everything else.

Time is an invention of man, not god. No other living thing has a need to measure anything. Time is only applicable in our existence when you consider that the concept of time measures when the Earth will orbit the Sun completely and when the Sun will make one complete cycle in our galaxy. We then evenly distribute these measurements incrementally into milliseconds, seconds minutes hours days etc. all the way to light years. At a higher level, time is measured using the speed of light as a basis for measuring distance, position and velocity. Wipe out mankind and the concept of time goes away with him.

the respond lies hidden interior the myth Of The Wheat and the Tares - Matthew 13:24-36, it relatively is often used to answer the different massive question, why is evil allowed to exist. God is omni- each and every thing - all understanding, all effective, etc. yet you're good that loose will creates issues right here on earth. God would not unavoidably be responsive to who's destined for hell interior the initiating. loose will is a crucial characteristic that he needed us to very own. we are taught to distinquish from good and evil, good and incorrect. And ultimately, it relatively is as much as us to return to a selection what we are able to do. Can God are looking forward to the devils strikes? Does God be responsive to who would be victims of serial killers? interior the Wheat and the Tares (weeds), Jesus explains that interior the dominion of God, wheat and tares (which at an early point sounds like wheat) strengthen at the same time, and that by employing a farmer (a christian) attempting to verify on his very own what's nice wheat and what's undesirable tares, could bring about some good wheat being pulled up and disposed of. Jesus warns that interior the top, his angels will separate the wheat from the tares - the coolest from the undesirable. i do no longer think that God knows how each and every subject will play out whilst loose will comes into play. we are taught morals and principals, and given advice like in this parable, that we're not to return to a selection what's incredibly good, and what's incredibly incorrect - could want for use to tell one church to no longer sentence yet another church's philosophy. How do all of us be responsive to which one is incredibly the main suitable option? interior the top, God will come to a selection and take action and burn the weeds. human beings will argue and debate your question until the top circumstances. in simple terms remember even with the incontrovertible fact that that your man or woman salvation is set by employing your man or woman strikes. we are asked to take a ethical intense street in a worldwide crammed with many tares - a number of which we can't come to a selection are relatively tares or wheat. save faith that God is observing out for us, yet that the devil is relatively plenty energetic in this worldwide too. it relatively is impossible to have faith in God and occasional value concept interior the devil. could God Bless You and your loved ones.

Psalm 139:1-12 essentially says that God not only fore new us and what we would do with our free will, but what we would have done had we not did what we did.

Nobody creates time. You have to be present to experience time. In other words, you have to be in the stadium to see the ball game.

God did not know the Asians, native Americans, Australians and Polynesians.

Time is a man made construct, god and time are mutualy exclusive, as god exists outside of time, and outside of any construct.

It also rules out Free Will. Because God would already know the outcome of Judgment Day.

Edit: Free will becomes unimportant if the outcome has been decided.

So, you presume to know God's will?
Have you SEEN life from god's perspective?
