Free Choice and the Parable of the Prophet

Question

The Rabbi brings in the trilogy the parable of the prophet who turns himself into a lion and then can be killed, and says that in relation to God there is a logical contradiction here—there is no meaning at all to the sentence, “Can God turn Himself into a mortal being?”

My question is why that does not apply to God’s knowledge. God cannot cause Himself not to know if, in principle, He knows as part of His very definition. That too would seemingly be a meaningless concept.

Answer

I didn’t understand the question. Who said that God causes Himself not to know? What exactly is being discussed here?
