It's Possible. Is it not?

There is a possible world in which Johnny was walking down Main Street on Monday morning. At 9:53 AM, he encountered a group of people who were handing out religious tracts. A young red-headed woman offered him a tract. He decided to take it.

There is another possible world in which Johnny was walking down Main Street on Monday morning. At 9:53 AM, he encountered a group of people who were handing out religious tracts. A young red-headed woman offered him a tract. He decided not to take it.

Both possible worlds are exactly the same up till that point, with only one difference: Johnny's choice. In one he chooses to accept the tract. In the other, he chooses not to accept it.

Since both are worlds are possible, the God of Molinism (GoM) cannot know which choice Johnny will make, given the above circumstances. If he actualizes a world such as this one, Johnny may make the choice that the GoM desire, or he may not. Perhaps the GoM will actualize multiple instances of this world, so as to increase the likelihood that he will get the desired outcome. But still, he cannot be certain that he will get what he intends.

In the story of David and Bathsheba in the Bible, GOD Almighty punished David in several ways, among them was that He will turn all of his wives into prostitutes. So GOD Almighty Has the power to change things and will things and cause things and/or events to happen as He pleases. Visit:
