| Does God have free will
Before I begin I would like to say that this topic is about the judeo/Christian god. There are so many dieties it will be impossible to argue about them all at the same time. Also I am baseing this on the only 3 attributes every one can agree that this god has: all knowing, all powerful, all good.
Now, let's say god comes to a problem with several choices. He Is all knowing, meaning he knows all possible choices and actions he has. He is all powerful, meaning he has the power to carry out all the actions and choices possible. And finally, he is all good, which means he will only choose the best possible action, best being of course what he deems as best.
What I'm trying to get at is if god were to come to a choice he would pick the same choice everytime with no ability to do otherwise.
And if god has no free will, whose to say he is even a conscious entity, can anything be called conscious without the ability to choose? |
