    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    Why didn't you say that before and we filled up pages upon pages? As we told you before, it is an illusion that we can can choose from other options which undoubtedly have, if we always choose the option that is known. I have checked with ChatGPT and got the following reply.. Block Universe...

    It is impossible Mohammad (s) and his family (a) historically existed and they did not perform miracles.

    Yes, I offered no objection that Muhammad dictated the Quran, neither that his companions wrote it. It is the miracles that I object to and that it was inspired by Allah.

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    Is your objection the word "force" vs. the word "choose"? In other words, do you agree with the sentence "If one of our future actions is known, then we will choose this particular action"?

    It is impossible Mohammad (s) and his family (a) historically existed and they did not perform miracles.

    Thank you. So why should we believe the Quran?

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    I am one of them, and we have discussed this before. If the future could be known by any other means—suppose for a minute that God does not exist—do you still think that we are not compelled to choose this particular future event among all the other options we may have?

    It is impossible Mohammad (s) and his family (a) historically existed and they did not perform miracles.

    Who dictated the Quran? Mohammad. Who wrote the Quran? His companions. If I say that I have performed many miracles and my friends write all of them in a book, will you believe me? David Copperfield can do much more...:)

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    You are getting very boring mate.. It seems to me that you run out of ideas that is why you keep repeating yourself. I showed you that I referred to our friend's claims and called them unsubstantiated and unreal. He claimed that he has knowledge about God "living" in 4D environment, therefore he...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    I didn't mean to offend you.. after all you first called my post nonsense.. But you never mentioned that God knowing our future but not directly cause it, is just a possibility, as you did now. In all your posts you seemed pretty certain of it. Let alone that you have not offered any proof of...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    The burden of proof for any unsubstantiated claim lies with the person making the claim, as opposed to shifting the burden of disproof to others. Furthermore it seems to me that you have lost your glasses today, because if you had not, you would have noticed that I was referring to our friend's...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    You can not be serious, honestly....:facepalm: Can you provide evidence that all 3000+ gods in mankind history are unreal, that invisible pink unicorns do not exist, and that Russell's microscopic teapot does not orbit the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars?

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    In religion, a prophecy is a message that has been communicated to a person (typically called a prophet) by a supernatural entity. Prophecies are a feature of many cultures and belief systems and usually contain divine will or law, or preternatural knowledge, for example of future events. In the...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    It is you who is talking nonsense. You mix scientific with unscientific in a luckless effort to find excuses. Einstein's "ramblings" are just fine. Your claims of knowing everything about gods, agents or beings that are not part of this universe though, are imaginary, unreal, certainly...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    And a last one.. You believe that free will would not be at all impinged upon by the existence of an omniscient God. It would, however, mean that God himself would have no free will since he would know ahead of time what he was going to do and therefore, being omniscient and infallible, could...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    Do you have a mania with philosophers? Theologians believe that God's foreknowledge of the future is passed on to people via prophets/messengers... Numerous prophecies regarding the birth and crucifixion of Jesus, the fate of Israel, the destruction of the Temple, even that people are...

    I think you should wear your glasses when reading messages..:)

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    It's called logic. God knows the future and tells prophets/messengers what will happen in the humans' future for passing on to people. All Abrahamic religions rely heavily on God's prior knowledge of events. Religion without prophecies describing what would happen, is dead. If you want free...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    Visualizing and understanding God's infinite concepts belong to the sphere of fantasy.. Again claiming to know that God "lives" in a 4D environment and try to present it in a "serious" argument, is delusion. No relationship to science.

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    :laughing::laughing: I have read it many times and concluded that is completely flawed for the following reasons. Firstly you assume that there is a God, which can not be proven. The existence of God is belief, not knowledge. Secondly you pretend you also know God's attributes, which is...

    God, Free-will, and the knowledge of God - Is his knowledge causation?

    :laughing: We could not have already chosen, because we are talking about our future, and therefore we are in no way able to know what and if we will need to choose something specific. But according to your idea, if God sees our future, God knows exactly what we are going to choose in our future...

    What we all understand, is that you contradict yourself in your effort to find excuses, mate. Cheers. :)
