The answer to rectifying the fact that God is omniscient and all-knowing and yet we have free will is the deepest tenet of "Remember the Future."


THE ANSWER IS THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Try to think outside of the confines of your human mind.


Isaiah 46:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Ecclesiastes 3:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.


To God, from his eternal perspective, he has already seen the end result of all of our free will choices, while also ensuring that his overall plan (i.e. His WORD) will come to pass. That is why the Bible is able to Prophecy the future as history, and it come to pass. Example:

Micah 5:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

How could Micah a prophet know that Jesus would be born in Bethelem? How could Jesus have decided where he was going to be born? These are verrrry interesting questions, yes?

Finally, observe this:
1 Peter 1:19-20 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Here is a man, Peter talking to his future (us in these last times) about Jesus who was foreordained BEFORE the foundation of the world.

I bring up all these scriptures to try and show you that God is outside of Time, so it is very possible for him to have already seen exactly what is going to happen because it has already happened to him.

final example: imagine I have dvr'd a game. You have not seen it. I have. I play it for you....I now know everything that the players are going to do, and who wins, but the players still chose every choice they made.

I pray you read this and meditate upon it, Sir.
Im reading cs Lewis's Miracles rn and hes discussing the nature of the future dimension being realized in the present creation in a sense of Gods eternality ..... the kingdom of god being introduced by Christ thru super natural occurences in nature alluding to the resurrection and new Jerusalem that eliminates death by merging the dimension of heaven with our universe and introduces the destruction of time as we perceive it and the rigidity of nature as an inflexible creature. Remember the future.

Not saying being drunk doesn’t mess up you reasoning. I’m turning 20 soon so I haven’t had a drink ever.
