So, Ive been thinking about this problem I see with the concept of Free Will and an Omniscient God...
I understand that God is responsible for the creation of EVERYTHING in the universe. I understand that, according to Pslam 139, "all my days are written in Your Book" - meaning that God already knows what choices I will make, but that I have the Free Will to make those choices.
The problem I have then is that, if God is truly omniscient, then why did he bother to create me as a Hellbound Atheist? Surely, I have the Free Will to choose to beleive and to go to Heaven as a saved one of his flock - but then doesnt this cancel out his omniscience, as he has me pegged as a Hellbound Atheist?? Or, if He really already knew I was going to change my mind in the end and convert - doesnt that rule out Free Will??
I cannot grasp the concept of Free Will and an Omniscient God.
