If god is all knowing, in every sense and is all powerful without limitation the idea of free will seems contradictory. God creates you knowing what path you will walk, and knowing how you will choose (to follow or not to follow)... since you are HIS creation and he knows all that you will do, ist it fair to say that hre created you to do it?
Lets say he is creating a man who he knows will grow up to be a serial killer. From the very moment the mans heart first beats god knows he will be a killer... the man grows up and becomes a killer... wouldnt you say that god then created him to be a killer?
The only way that Free-Will could exist, is if God doesnt know what you are going to do.... or if God has no plan for you... or God has no hand in how you are created...
Its like me dropping a penny into a well. I know it is going to fall to the bottom, I set everything in motion for it to do that... could you say that I threw it into the well, or I mearly let go and it dropped itself in?
