Did Adam and eve really have a choice?

To me there are actually 3 distinguishing issues here,1) Free will
- dose free will existThe answer is Yes2) Contradiction between omnipotence and free will
- is there a contradiction between omnipotence and free willThe answer is No3) the extent of His omnipotence
- Why Satan is not destroyed yet (cross-realm data and analysis required)
- Why a plan is needed (cross-realm data and analysis required)
- Is omnipotence simultaneous or only effective as He wishes (actually i think there should be an answer for this)The answer is noone knowsIt's no point to leverage the uncertainty of point 3) to justify a point of view of 1) and 2).This message has been edited by Hawkins, 10-15-2005 09:41 AM

3) the extent of His omnipotenceThat question goes to how often He goes ahead of our time to know our choices, always, periodically, or as He wishes. Alternatively, can He not go ahead of our time to know our choices if He chooses to?This message has been edited by Hawkins, 10-15-2005 09:51 AM

That question goes to how often He goes ahead of our time to know our choices, always, periodically, or as He wishes. Alternatively, can He not go ahead of our time to know our choices if He chooses to?If He cant "not go ahead of our time to know our choices if He chooses to", he's not omnipotence then. So,He *CAN* (Omnipotence) when He wishes (Free will).Hope that helps.
