Re: Omnipotence Doesn\'t Imply Seeing The Future.
ER no.
You have a very limited concept set so it is hard to have a fruitfull discusion.
Do you think God can be in more then one place at once. Or more than one point in space at once? Of course he can.
the major problem is your construction of presence. I think you see God as as having a white beard and such and having some kind of ultimate physical/temporal presence that can only manifest in one space/time at once.
When I say God exists out of time I mean he dosnt pass through time say from one second to the next. As a presence it/God exists in all time at once. it/god isnt forced to inhabit some arbitary fixed point in the timeline that you a mere monkey that fell out of tree like to call "now."
This isnt idle conjecture. If one makes certain assumptions about Gods nature they are the only conclusions one can make on this issue. God is only an idea but it must be a coherent one that remains self referential and in unity with itself.
God can of course manifest physicaly at one point in spacetime, but does not exist purely in that instance alone. That is what I mean by exisitng ONLY within timespace. God does however not need to GO BACK TO THE FUTURE as he is alleady there.
If he existed purely in the dimension of time, he would be ultimately limited by the spacetimes laws. The timeline we inhabit is finite and will run out. Is god like a fish that drowns becuase the pond he is in evaporates. No way hosey, what a crap weak God that would be.
Time isnt just action following action, it is a dimension. Spacetime. Go read some Eienstien or something.
