gods knowledge

unknownuser

Peace all. An observation from another site; 'if god knows everything in advance then he knows what he(god) will do before he does it. Does this mean god cannot do anything else except what he knows he will do? Does this mean god has no free-will?' How does this affect our understanding of god?
Peace.

Personally for me I think it would be absurd for us to judge God on our laws because we then would putting God on our level and also just conjecturing.

We will face God when we die so we will know the TRUTH then. )

Salaams enquirer,

you said "'if god knows everything " , its simple he doesn't know the future -thats why we are being tested in this life.

knowledge is of things that have happend or are happening , there isn't any knowledge of what will happen - just theories,i think we are making God into something He isn't at all.
