We so often talk about God knowing everything in advance, exactly what will happen and when, but we often don’t follow that to its logical (or rather not-so-logical) conclusion: if God is never wrong and He knows everything I will do in advance, then I have no choice because if I were to choose then I might choose differently and then He’d be wrong. Also, if He knows it already, it must be true, it must happen, or He is wrong. We had this discussion a while ago. I think of God’s knowledge of me as me walking on a branch of a tree. Every choice takes me to a new branch in an ever-expanding tree. God sees the entire tree, all the branches, even the ones I don’t walk down. It’s much easier to see than to explain. Anyhow, this post (read it here) is really interesting and it also sparked a rather interesting (and sometimes, heated) debate! Check it out!
