From what I've read, God does things for reasons. What reason would there be to test Abraham if he already knew what would happen?
Yes, but that doesn't mean we're meant or even capable of understanding those reasons.
Given that free will does exist, are you implying that God would not foresee that outcome of Abrahams trials? Are you saying that his intelligence and comprehension has a limit?
Does he want people to decide for themselves? That's the point of faith, isn't it? Believing in what you can't see.
He's inherently incapable of knowing the decisions of each and every person existing?
However, this debate is going to go nowhere as no one is capable of proving it either way beyond reasonable doubt.
I'm not really trying to persuade anyone. It's blatantly obvious that this is a highly subjective debate and has little potential in terms of covincing anyone away from their beliefs.
I am, however, interested in hearing the justifications behind beliefs that others have.
