How do Christians reconcile the following reasoning?
Upvote:0
The only thing that makes sense to me is to accept that God exists in a realm outside of ours (although He is very present in ours as well), a realm in which there is no time, as I believe God created time.
If there is no time, concepts like "God should have known lucifer will go satan" can't exist anymore, as there would have been no future or past tenses.
Trying to answer this falls in the same category as "Who was there before God?" or "Who created God?". Since we as humans exists in this realm and are bound to time, we cannot imagine existence in a realm without time.
So I would not only say the christian definitions are ill defined, but that the whole of humanity's understanding is limited, that our brains simply does not possess the ability to grasp or understand the realms beyond ours. Therefore the definitions defines God as what He would have been (and is) in our world/dimensions/realms.
