Default Re: Crazy Question about Omnipotence

omniscience- The capacity to know everything.

omnipotent - Having unlimited power, force or authority.

Ok, so why do you say: <font color="blue">"No he will not know this." </font> in response to:

<font color="green"> If God is omnisentient, then He already knows that Sam will be fatally hit by a bus tomorrow at 2PM. </font>

??

If God has the capacity to know everything, then He should know how and when Sam will die. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

I'm not sold on this. We could just claim that god knows everything that _could_ happen (aka. anything since we assume omnipotency) and is free to chose which.
