Nice.
How could we choose our actions if all our actions are predestined before we are born?

God didn't tell Judas to betray Jesus... He told Jesus He would be betrayed.. their is a difference... God knew what would happen b/c Judas used his free will.. and He warned Jesus... God knows EVERYTHING.. from begininng to end... He knew that you would ask this question.. the day, the time, and where but He didn't stop you.... but He may have warned someone to watch out for it!

God didnt have to. Look in the Old Testement where it was told He would be sold for 30 pieces of silver. Jesus always knew.

The best way this was ever explained to me was this:
We have free will we make the choices for our lives good or bad.
We are not "pre destined" to make certain choices, God however knows the outcome of every choice we could ever possibly make. He is all knowing. He doesn't make the choices for us, but He does know how each one will turn out.

Yes, God is all knowing and knows the end before even the beginning. That in no way diminishes "free will".

Judas did not know that Jesus knew until it was too late for Judas to back out. The Bible also says that Satan entered Judas. Satan was the controlling force, not Judas.

I know what you're going to do before you do it but I will punish you at the end of all of it anyway. Clear as mud.

With divine cake, anything is possible - regardless of how patently preposterous. That's what makes religion so attractive, you don't have to worry about trying to make sense of it, you just have to blindly believe. Yes, I'll have another slice, thanks.

God is all knowing...he knows the end before the begining.

God is all knowing. We all do have free will but God knows us better than we know ourselves. you think he can't predict an outcome?
