No one has dealt with this argument.
if God creates Elaine with free will and knows that she will use that free will to reject Christ and go to hell.
Why would God create Elaine in the first place knowing she will suffer eternal damnation?
Remember the orthodox premise is "God is all knowing!"
And "God gave us free will!"
Why is God so cruel to humans that God supposedly loves?
Remember the orthodox premise is "God is all knowing!"
True or false for you?
You know that if you say "Yes." You lose.
God is beyond time. Big Deal. We and Elaine live in this time and space.
I've already answered it at least twice.
And I knocked it down twice. You failed to acknowledge that you were wrong.
You haven't knocked anything down. You continue to repeat the same assertions over and over despite being told several times that the premise of your assertion was flawed.
Yeah "God is above time" is rhetorical nonsense. We live now. Elaine lives now. Why create her to suffer in hell? The moment she is born God knows it, yet God will do it anyway. Your all knowing god is very cruel.
The Bible you claim to believe says that God is above time. (2 Pet. 3:8). It also says, in the very next verse, that Elaine was not predestined for Hell, but has the ability to choose.
You're right - we and Elaine live in linear time. We're not God. The fact of our living in linear time is irrelevant to the question of what God may know.
