This is something that has intrigued me for a long time. If Jehovah can see the future, why create two humans who would sin?
The WT has an explanation that is not so bad. Jehovah uses his ability to see into the future selectively. But could it be something even more simplistic. We all predict the future/foresee the future in a limited scope. We know if we take a certain route for example, we can be at a certain place at a certain time. We know if we follow directions and we get really good at a task, we can predict with almost absolute certainty an outcome. So did Jehovah knew the outcome of Adam and Eve's rebellion? Yes. But he also saw the outcome in they had not rebelled. They could have chosen not to rebel. Either way Jehovah knew the outcome. They could have chosen not to rebel! So when Jehovah pronounced their judgement, he already knew this before hand, but he also knew what would have happened had they obeyed, but more importantly, he saw a future where they obeyed.
Jehovah sees all possibilities. The possibility he does not see, is Satan winning!!!!!
