What is the future?
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 4:37 pm
I had this thread about Scrooge and the future. It got very involved. And I made the mistake of forgetting about it for a while And it seems nobody has posted on it for 23 days. So if I posted on it now it is likely I would get no replies.
So I'm starting a newer one taking on the subject from a different angle.
Might the words "the future" refer to something on the order of a thought experiment? That it really only exists when it becomes the present or the past? That prayer might actually mean something because God does not know what you will pray before you pray it and then of His own free will can decide what He wants to do? That He actually did not know that Lucifer, Satan, or whatever he should be called was going to rebel when God created him? That God could not have known what Satan was going to do to humanity rather tha knowing and creating him anyhow?
I know that is not possible if the Bible is mistake free, Revelations for one thing, but other than the Bible being mistake free do you have anything else to use to disagree with me?
