    It is not the case that If God's knowledge is truly immutable, then the proposition 'God could have known otherwise' entails a change in the divine nature, which is impossible.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Immutability concerns God's actual properties, not counterfactual possibilities that never actualize.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.God's eternal knowledge of all possibilities includes knowing what else could have been true without divine change.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If God could have known otherwise, this requires God's knowledge to differ from what it actually is.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A difference in what God knows constitutes a change in divine nature, making immutability impossible.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
