But if God sees all and has a plan and knows the future, how can we have free will?
If true we wouldn't have free will, but god does not exist, anymore than Harry Potter exists.
Also the concept of an all powerful god is moronic.
Can god create a rock so heavy even he can't lift it?
So theologians have changed it to god is the maximum powerful implicating: That is possible.
But clearly that means there are things god can't do, because there is a limit to his power.
EDIT PS:
That also means that god can't know the future with free will existing at the same time. Because that is impossible.
And although free will is debated philosophically, and we don't know exactly how it can exist, after 40 years of pondering the concept, I have reached the conclusion that we actually do have free will. Because our consciousness build on abstractions that are more than the sum of the parts of the physical brain.
