How come god created the tree of knowledge?

God is not Omnipotent, either. He created laws, and in the process of creating those laws, He lost the ability to go against the laws that He Himself created.

And yes, my ideas on this subject are rather radical. I hope I become famous someday so that my interesting ideas on the nature of God and Universal Law hold some merit. If you're not well-known, your philosophies don't matter, so I've come to discover.

nope, God could break his laws, but he would then cease to be God.

but he still has the POWER and ABILITY to break those laws, he just makes the (wise) decision not to.

Everything we think and do is therefore known, if it's fate, and is not free.

The concept of free will is that we are able to have someone ask us a question and be able to say "Yes" or "No" depending on our own whims. "Do you believe in God?" I can say yes or no, regardless of what I actually feel. You can't determine my answer before hand. I haven't thought of it yet. You can have an educated guess based on what you know about me, but you can't be positive until I say it.

Understand?

God doesn't know who each and every person that "will be saved" (for lack of a better term) will be until they absolutely finish their life. It's not possible for Him to know.

sure it is. i have class now, but i'll post later.

The omniparadox, god creates a rock that he cant lift, he cant lift it, therefore he isnt omnipotent.
