Argument from free will

[citation needed] See the various controversies over claims of God's omniscience, in particular the critical notion of foreknowledge.

Noted Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides described the conflict between divine omnipotence and his creation's person's free will, in traditional terms of good and evil actions, as follows: … "Does God know or does He not know that a certain individual will be good or bad?

Some have attempted to redefine or reconceptualize free will: A proposition first offered by Boethius[6] and later by Thomas Aquinas[note 1] and C. S. Lewis, suggests that God's perception of time is different, and that this is relevant to our understanding of our own free will.

In his book Mere Christianity, Lewis argues that God is actually outside time and therefore does not "foresee" events, but rather simply observes them all at once.

[7]A common objection is to argue that Molinism, or the belief that God can know counterfactually the actions of his creations, is true.
