Quote by: Nemiroff  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? |
If your going to use logic on something we as mortal cannot understand then I shall use logic to explain.
Here is a statement from simple physics.
You cannont use a statement that explains opposites of infinite levels.
ie: A stone so big u cannot pick it up. Both are equal infinates, but of opposite 'levels', so you cannot measure them as opposites... man this a hard one to explain.
Its the same reason why at our current level as understanding as mortals the reason why Logic and Religion cannot be used to explain eachother.
Logic is Logic and Religion is Religion, the dont mix, we cannot use them together, yet anyway.
