Free Will If God creates time and space and all of creation; the past present and future
exists due to God's pleasure. Taking this into consideration how can we possibly
have free will? I have talked to many Rabbis regarding this issue but the answers are nebulous and varied. They say even the great sages had this question. So what could be an answer that a existentialist could accept or make sense of. It is the paradoxical question of all existence.
Alan, I think the challenge is your limited knowledge of G-d, let me ask you couple questions
1. Do you believe G-d is a creator?
2. is he like a painter?
3. or is he like a dancer?
