		<description>I certainly agree with you there.  I don&#039;t understand how God can know what hasn&#039;t come to pass.  But inasmuch as I accept the truthfulness of the scriptures, I clearly can&#039;t deny that he does know it.</description>

		<description>ltbugaf

But you are judging His comprehension by human standards and not by His standards which was way beyond our understanding.

What I am saying is, we cannot fully know what He knows or how He knows, because we don&#039;t have the capacity for such understanding.</description>

		<description>Kim, re: 89--You say that if God knows the future then we have no real freedom of choice.  So either you believe that God doesn&#039;t know the future, or you believe that we have no freedom of choice.  Surely that&#039;s not a false dichotomy.  Which side DO you take?  No such thing as foreknowledge or no such thing as agency?</description>

		<description>Mary, I really don&#039;t think I&#039;m the one who is placing human limitations on God.  The ones doing that are those who say it&#039;s impossible for him to know the future because, according to human perspective, it can&#039;t be known.</description>

		<description>Kim, in 81 you say, &quot;The future is not fixed because God knows it, he knows it because it is fixed.&quot;

What fixes the future?  The freewill choice of individuals.  So free choice results in fixation of events, which in turn results in God&#039;s perfect knowledge of those events.

You and Geoff keep saying that if the future is fixed and knowable, then there can&#039;t be any freedom, as if that were somehow an undeniable axiom.  Geoff even goes so far as to say that my denial doesn&#039;t make it untrue.  Of course, I know my denial doesn&#039;t MAKE it untrue.  It&#039;s untrue all by itself.  It&#039;s a nonsequitur.</description>

&lt;p&gt;Again you put words and meanings in my mouth. I have never once meant that. You are limiting Heavenly Father&#039;s knowedge to the realm of human understanding. I am not going to repeat what I said as you don&#039;t seem to understand it. But I will say again that we CANNOT know what method He uses because our understanding, our comprehension is so limited. You place human capablities on our God. That&#039;s always going to backfire on you.
