Rejecting the Well-Known Answer to the Problem of Divine Knowledge and Free Choice
Question
Hello Rabbi, I seem to remember reading once in one of your columns that even if we assume God is above time, He still exists in parallel to us, while for us there is time. I would be glad if you could elaborate on why the paradox of divine knowledge and free choice cannot be resolved by saying that God is above time, since relative to us there is time and the events have not yet occurred, so the fact that for Him there is no time has no significance. Thank you.
Answer
See the columns on divine knowledge and free choice. There I explain this.
