God already know where we will end up, heave or hell, so we have no choice. BUT people keep saying about FREE WILL. What a contradiction of opinion.

Well answer, u liked my last answer i hope u'll like this one coz i am not makin up this things, some people believe that the god has no control on people's doings that what ever we do we it and god cant do anything abt it and that's wrong cause god created us and what we do and if were doing things that god didnt know that we will do or things that god cant stop us from doing it then god wouldnt strong it is impossible that the god who created the skies and earth and all this livings would be weak or wouldnt know everything abt his creations and it is wrong o believe that the human is controlled by god like a feather fallin in the air air is playin with it like he wants the truth is like this humans have their own will and god has his will but our will is not stronger then god's will or he would be weaker then us and that's wrong our will is under god's will for example if u had a stone and u through that stone at a glass window it will break well u didnt feel like ur hand by it self is breakin that window nor the stone is flyin toward that window u through that stone at that window knowin what will happen but the thing is that GOD CREATED THAT STONE GOD CREATED YOU AND THAT WINDOW AND HE CREATED THE POWER IN YOU TO BREAK THAT WINDOW AND HE CREATED YOUR WILL TO DO THE THROWIN AND ALSO HE CREATED THE BREAKIN COZ IF U DID THAT AND GOD DIDNT WANT THE WINDOW TO BREAK IT WOULDNT BREAK u know how two people with the same disease with the same condition would take a medicine one would cure and that medicine would help him and the other would stay sick and that medicine wouldnt help him coz coz go didnt creat that cure in the medicine to that guy finally the rule is that if we obey god god created our will to obey him and if we disobey him then god created our will to disobey him and we dont have the right to ask him why coz he created us and gave us blessings the bless to see to walk to hear things he will ask u what did we do whith what he gave us we dont ask god we thank him for the good and pray to him to relieve us from the bad ( hope u r convince and if u have anyother question i dont pretend to know everything but i know enough to know what i believe in this is my email doc_nader@yahoo.com)

The purpose of Free Will is for Man to love and obey God. If one defines the nature of True Love - one can only love someone if it is done freely. The moment that this action is coerced or forced, then it could not be called "true love".
This is the reason why Man has to have "free will". Without free will, man can not love truly, and at the same time would have no means to follow God. However, Man can also choose to abuse this "Free Will" by committing sin or disobeying God.
Finally, God allows man to choose freely even though God knows that man often falls prey to sin. This is a form of unconditional love - letting someone to choose in the hope that the person would realize the "right" thing to do.

Hi!
This is a good question...hug!
God does not magnetize the future difinitely....
I will show you how He balanced FREE WILL and FUTURE EVENTS:
1. When one decides to sin, God immediately devices a plan to redeem the sinner to back to safety. When Adam sinned, God immediately delivered the "plan of the Messiah to save humanity". This verse is not even in the NEW TESTAMENT...that is how much God loves us! He finds ways to bring u back to safety.
Genesis 3:15 "....he(the Messiah) shall bruise your(Satan's) head, and you shall bruise his heel."
You will realise that this plan was not ALWAYS there UNTIL ADAM sinned. So this is proof that God has not MAGNETIZED the whole future but modifies it according to the behavior of man.
2. Now about the final destinition of everyone, God did not magnetize it as well:
Immediately one sins, God knows his END, but immediately one repents and come to Him, YOUR FUTURE CHANGES TO A GOOD ONE...this means that YOU DETERMINE YOUR DESTINATION by how you live!
3. Please read this verse to CONFIRM WHAT I AM SAYING:
Deut. 11:26-28
"See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today,
and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.
From this verse, one learns that HIS FUTURE is dependent on your response to God's commandments!
It's like the police, you can't keep on speeding on a low speed road and when you get caught and put you in a cell, you say "THIS IS UNFAIR, I HAVE NOT KILLED ANYONE OR CAUSED ANY ACCIDENT, I DON'T DESERVE TO BE ARRESTED!"
Hope this helps.
God is real and I know that if you keep searching the TRUTH like you do in this question, you will find the TRUE GOD, Jesus Christ.
Hug!

God knows ur fate no doubt!! But HE has given u a mind of ur own, so that u can think and if u have bad habits or are a sinner then u can mend ur ways!! So that ur fate can be changed and from Hell u can shift into heaven!! So ur free will is there for u to chose the path of goodness or become a bad person!! by choosing any one path u can change ur fate!! Your fate is in ur own hands!!

Okay, that question is a little bit confusing for me. See we have a choice now to accept Jesus Christ as our savior, it's all our choice. And if we do then we go to Heaven and if we don't we go to Hell. But God knows the past, present and the future. We have the choice, but God ahead of time knows what they are gonna choose. It's a good question and hard to explain, but I hope this helped somewhat!

Many religions suggest that you choose how to live your life.
Some scientists agree. There is no evidence precluding alternate realities in which you make different choices.
The choices you make may determine which reality your conscious mind may access through your senses. In this sense you do have free will; you may choose which one-dimensional timeline you follow among infinite possibilities.
If you take comfort in "God" watching over you or forgiving poor choices you make, good for you if it makes you feel better.

I'm a casual christian but I don't believe we are pre-destined. I believe it is complete free will. And we DO have a choice between heaven or hell. The scriptures have given us the guidelines & the rest is up to us. God may ultimately know what choices we'll make, but he does not intervene in those choices. That's what faith & christianity are all about.

No if God ends this dispensation of time to soon then all the ones who don't make it will say he is un fair, so God is not unfair and he is giving them a chance to be saved! That's the LOVE OF THE FATHER! So be saved and believe Jesus died and was raised by the power of Gods spirit!And then you will receive his spirit and know what I'm talking about!

Well, they claim our lives on Earth is a test. But an omnipotent being would already know the end-results of the test. So what would be the point of the test? One of the many contradictions that can't be answered by rational thought... welcome to religion my friend

It's all a matter of whether or not you believe in a timeline, where everything was meant to happen. So god would know what will happen as a result of your free will.
