I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part.
Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.
One view is that God knows how people will end up not because He is forcing them to act a certain way, but because He has a perfect knowledge of the outcomes of their actions. Kind of like how a parent knows what the outcome of a small child’s actions will be.
I’m not the commenter but it seems fairly obvious what they’re saying.
The child doesn’t know that touching the hot stove will burn them, but you do because you have a lifetime of experience.
To add to this: To the child, it’s essentially magic that you know exactly where the heat starts, and how you have the ability to boil water.
If you’re saying it in a light-hearted ‘lol kids are chaos’ way then yeah.
