I think he knows the future, just not OUR futures. He has a time plan for the Earth, not the people in it, except for those he puts his finger on.

I have this philosophy that there comes a time when He puts His finger on someone, which is why so many of our greatest historical figures have had such hard childhoods. When they lift His finger, they gain strength and in the end do what they were meant to do with the strength He gave them. Then, when all is said and done, they go to heaven.

Which would explain the lives of our greatest saints and historical figures. I think the only reason that tyrants are made is because they shove off God’s finger and than run amok. Whether they like it or not, God put his finger on them and expected them to lift it and do good.

I’m in SUCH a philosophical mood with this thread.

Yes, philosophy is an amusing past time.
