All Knowing God proves problematic

This has also been my position all along. It is irrelevant if God knew what I was going to do before I did it. I still made the decisions and choices to follow a specific course. To me it is irrelevant if God foreknew it or not. Edited by Phat, : No reason given.

I might add that I believe that God chooses to have no control. Humanity is a grand experiment and is responsible for our collective destiny. God may well know and yet not interfere with this process.

You have given them enough food to go around, yet they choose to hoard it for a few of them. They will never learn to share if you simply give everyone food. That is their job.

First of all, how would we test it? How would we know what God
knew and did not know before the fact? Second, if free will is defined as "doing something other than what God knows" I would argue that yes, we don't have true free will nor should we. You don't get to out think God. Ain't gonna happen. Whether or not you judge Him evil for foreknowing your damnation, for example, matters not since even if He did foresee it, you chose it. The protest that you simply couldn't have done anything nor chosen any way to avoid it is whining after the fact at best.

And if God simply existed to provide for our needs, we would never grow. Besides...God owes us nothing, anyway.

Its amazing to observe the attitudes of those who challenge God. Here we have the Creator of all seen and unseen, of which you are unimpressed. You then state the attitude and morality that such a Creator should have and then go so far as to lobby for an even more powerful government to discipline Him when He fails your standards! The bottom line is that a Creator of all seen and unseen is so far above our limited perception and intelligence that to even think we have the capability to judge Him is at best laughable.I suppose we can pretend that we can be as gods, however.God owes us nothing. He gave us the ability to get along (to a degree) without need of Him. We can claim that He should be responsible for His creation, but good luck with an indictment.
