[Avodah] GOD WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE

The analogy I like to give is that if you had an unedited video of someone's
whole life, would that affect the choices that person made? Of course, not.
The only difference here is that God already has the video of your life, but
since God is not bound by time, He knows the choices you will make. From
our point of understanding, we see the choices someone made after the fact.
God sees it before. The real question would be how can God see something
that hasn't taken place yet? The answer I would give is this is obviously way
beyond our comprehension and it would be like a tree asking how we can live
without being attached to the earth. Just as the tree can't understand, neither
can we.
