Hum. This sort of reminds me a comic book graphic novel called The Watchman.
​
One of the characters is someone who has great power, but all time happens at the same time for him. He experiances the past, presient and future all at the same time in his perception.
​
He is trapped by his own perception. He can not do anything that he does not know he is going to do.
​
What a curse that is.

Well, that story is one reason why the Cruxifiction story about Jesus does not go into tune with the Jewish faith.
​
Most Jews take those passages as a promise by god never to require a human sacrifice again. They view the requirement of a human sacrifice
'To cover yourself in blood to wash away your sins' as direcly violating God's promises.

Re: Holy Ghost Writer
Can you show that there? Can you show that there isn't? I don't think so, in either case.

Re: Free will as explanatory fiction for legal control

In other words, you are destined to believe in free will ??
