A question that has been on my mind for a while.
Good evening, Rabbi.
I read the trilogy a long time ago, as well as God Plays Dice.
The rabbi concludes that if God knows -> There is no choice, so God does not know.
I have one problem here – you’re talking about the question of “Can God create a stone that He can’t lift,” and you’re saying that it’s meaningless and meaningless. There’s no point in such a statement. That is, God can’t limit Himself.
If so, how can God create a world in which He does not know man’s thoughts? After all, this supposedly limits him and makes him meaningless and incomprehensible.
thanks.
I didn’t say he doesn’t know the person’s thoughts. I said he doesn’t know what the person is going to choose. Knowing non-existent information is not a disadvantage because it is not defined.
If God is supposedly perfect, then time is not valid for him, then isn't it problematic to say that he knows nothing *at a certain time*? That sounds a bit contradictory to God's perfection.
It sounds like he limited himself to time, which should be meaningless.
I don't know about him, but we think within a time frame, and so do our thoughts about him.
He did not limit himself in any way, but gave us free choice. When it is free, the information does not exist before we choose, and information that does not exist cannot be known.
Even if he knows our choices, it doesn't stop us from choosing, so what's the problem?
The problem is that you can't know information that doesn't exist. There was a series of columns on knowledge and choice. Search and see there in detail.
