I've been thinking over this for quite a while. Would be nice if someone can explain the below arguments re God..Here goes... Arg 1: God as an Omniscient entity. This means that God know ALL that is there, past,present & FUTURE. God knows what each and every living entity did, is doing and WILL DO, good & EVIL deeds. The good thing is God is not limited by time and is outside of it. Given that God is omnipotent, all this implies that God is the doer of EVERYTHING, good & EVIL and living entities have NO FREE WILL, which makes God in some sense a "tyrant" who is playing some game with material creation. Arg 2: God as a non-Omniscient entity. God does not know everything especially the FUTURE, implying that God would not know how living entities would act in the future. So God has created something of which He is not TOTALLY sure of the consequences of such creation in the material domain. So, God has limitations and is NOT SUPREME. The good thing here is living entities have FREE WILL and God comes across as a giver of FREEDOM rather than being a tyrannical controller. Plus God is not responsible for the evil in the world, again a good thing. Pretty confusing for me
