Any being that does not already know the outcome of events on earth – i.e is not outside our time-space continuum, is not God by definition. A real God HAS to know everything – including the end from the beginning – in other words by definition a ‘God’ must know the free-will decisions you are going to make ahead of time.
Ignoring the meaningless argument that God could choose not to know everything (I mean what would be achieved by that and what would be the point?.. isn’t He the real God of logic and order, not a manipulator that create different sets of rules and laws for different sets of beings), if God is not outside time and does not know everything – then he is not God – he is one of us! And perhaps that explains why Jesus said he did not know the day of his return – because at that point, God’s spirit encased in flesh (and physically separated from His father in heaven) was one of us!
So the future is not fixed, yet it is known by God. That would be a problem for a man trapped in time and space – but not a God who by definition has to be outside that time-space bubble in order to be God, and can see what we see from one end only and call ‘time’ – from all angles.
‘God the gambler’ with the Devil makes for a good TV show, but it would no real God that needs to gamble with the Devil or His creatures. We see that God knows the beginning from the end all through the bible but as usual – this is my opinion only from what I read so feel free to add your comments and views below!
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
