ok, first, background for the question, which as i stated is directed at christians, which is a somewhat general term: in christianity, god is believed to be omnipotent (able to do anything) omniscient (able to see everything, past, future, and present), and omnipresent (everywhere at once) and his greatest "promise" to mankind is that of "free choice" the ability to choose where you go in your life, whether to believe in him or not, to accept jesus or not, and therefore "choose" in a roundabout way, whether you "burn" in hell or spend eternity worshipping him. now, given that these statements are accurate, i ask how choice is possible if god knows everything, past present and future? IE: he already knows whether or not each and every one of us WILL or WILL NOT choose to follow him, which means that we CAN NOT choose one way or the other. our decision is already made for us. we cannot have free will or choice with the presence of an all knowing being. therefore, is god a liar ?
