Does God Know Your Future Choices? A Jewish Perspective
Did you know that not every Jewish thinker believed God knows your future free choices? Rabbi Levi ben Gershon (Ralbag) argued that future human decisions do not yet exist, so they are not objects of knowledge. This isn’t a limitation on God—it preserves genuine free will. The Tanakh itself often portrays God testing people, expressing regret, and saying “perhaps” they will repent, suggesting that the future is genuinely open.
