Omnipotence Doesn't Imply Seeing The Future.

[soon2bepro]

guesswest: It really doesn't matter whether He is or isn't active in the future. Being able to do anything doesn't mean you know how things work. Or that you know everything (which you need if you're to know the future).

Just as you imply He doesn't know what His own actions will be, as long as He's not omniscient, He may not know what other's actions will be. He may not know what the outcome of all kinds of factors interacting will be.

Just because He (could have) created the universe doesn't mean He knows exactly how it works.

Of course, if you throw Omniscience in the mix (and if Omniscience means knowledge of all, including Himself), He must know the future, so long as everything in the Universe (even Himself) works in a deterministic (logical) manner.

Then again, if you consider seeing the future as something doable, omnipotence means you have the power to "do" it. (as I said earlier)



PS: One hopes in time, humans will realize that absolute terms without a context are very often self-contradictory
