No, it's rather that God affords you volitional choice in matters while knowing what it is you're going to choose/have chosen is all without any influence or coercion. Until you can grasp that basic concept it's no wonder you're struggling with the difference between foreknowledge and...

So you don't understand the difference between foreknowledge and predeterminism then. Okay, noted.

Sure you would, unless you were forced or programmed into doing so. Foreknowledge itself doesn't equate to that so take it up with determinists or understand the difference.

If God knows what choices people are going to make beforehand then of course it's infallible, that's not under dispute. Stripe's scenario had a completely unnecessary factor and only weakens his and by association your argument frankly. Why even bring God telling a man that he's going to choose...

Sad thing is, some will actually fall for it...

Good for the locals.

The only way the man wouldn't have a choice is if God predetermined him to eat the chocolate. Otherwise, if God knows that the man is going to choose chocolate then that hasn't tampered with his will or choice in the matter at all. What difference does it make if God knew all of the...

If God knows what a man will choose at any given point in life then there's no interference with will unless God tampers with proceedings to ensure that said outcome comes about. Foreknowledge doesn't do anything such in itself. It's simply knowing what is going to happen. That's it. Your...

You mean apart from what a stupid scenario? Sure, the man can choose vanilla unless God forces him to eat the chocolate. Now, if you want a more nuanced answer in regards to foreknowledge/determinism then you've had plenty already.

It generally is your bad with this stuff Stripe as you make a silly argument and after its flaws have been pointed out you revert back to inane soundbites because you lack any defence for it . Pretty much your 'MO'... Of course you have a choice whether God knows in advance or not. Heck, I'll...

No it wasn't. You've chosen to respond to me whether God knew in advance or not. You weren't predetermined to do so either way. Pointless going deeper into the subject until you get that basic stuff through your head.

You and the other voices in your bonce can take it how you want. You've been answered clearly and your scenario was lacking all ends up. You wanna conflate foreknowledge with determinism? Knock yourself out. Silly as anything but hey ho.

Like continually offering to answer one if you'd only get around to it or repeat the thing? Regardless, your "question" revolved around some lame scenario involving ice cream and you've been answered already Stripe. I'm as much a "determinist" as I am a "Darwinist" and your already weak...

Fine, don't ask your question then, your choice. I've offered to answer it.

Your "thought experiment" included God telling a guy which flavour he was going to choose. Why did you add that if God already knowing what flavour the guy was going to pick was enough to negate choice/free will in itself? You conflate foreknowledge with predetermination and it's ridiculous.

No there wasn't Idolater else show it, cos Trump's legal teams and whatnot sure didn't manage to demonstrate it either in or outside of court. There is no credible evidence for widespread voter fraud whatsoever and that's the reality here. You convince yourself as you will regarding Trump and...

Ask your question and I'll answer it or continue with your ridiculous Darwinist nonsense, your 'choice'.

It doesn't show any such thing. In the last few seconds you've made a choice to respond to a post on here. If God knew in advance that you were going to do that does that mean you had no will in the matter and were predetermined to do it? Of course not.

Of course they aren't and your 'ice cream' stuff was just silly. You'll have made an abundance of choices through this day alone and God knowing what you were going to do didn't impact on any of them. Foreknowledge doesn't equal determinism in itself and at any given point you might have a...

It was irregular in the sense that a whole manner of things were with Covid. There was no substance to baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud and while you may have convinced yourself that Trump is absolved of any chicanery for Jan 06 it doesn't make it so.
