God has given us freewill. He simply knows how we will exercise this freewill. TRUE OR FALSE?

Question

God has given us freewill. He simply knows how we will exercise this freewill. TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 1

True.
He knows the beginning to the end. Picture it like watching 100 tv's at one time and you know what is going on on each screen and what each outcome is before its over.

Answer 2

Very true. God does not interfere with our free will. It is because God is the Creator of the universe God understands the functioning processes that boggle our minds. God would also reveal to a soul a truth at the right place and the right time to change the course of action that soul may have ordinarily taken.

Pope Julius II that had Michelangelo paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel recognize God guided the course of human events as masterfully as Michelangelo painted. I thought this was a good analogy how God, while giving us our free-will, uses us in the course of human events to accomplish his divine providence.

Answer 3

Hi...
Just to jump in the fray for a moment, consider this: Would it be possible for an Omniscient God to be able to SELECTIVELY predict the future outcome or possibility so as to not spoil the game? In other words, he can CHOOSE to let free will run it's course as it will, without purposely examining all possible probabilities if He so chooses. It's kind of like the old paradox: could God create a weight too heavy for Him to lift? The same reasoning applies.....yes He could, but it would be predicated that it was by HIS will and HIS will alone that it be so. Variables would certainly apply, like the law of entropy, the weight would not remain un-liftable for all time unless God gave the object the principle so that at some later time, he would be able to lift it, just not at the moment of it's creation.

Answer 4

False: It wouldn't truly be free will if he knew how we were going to use it. There is to many accounts in the bible that suggest otherwise. Saul was chosen as king and later the power went to his head and he was rejected. Solomon the same. he was loved and later hated.
Before the flood God said he regretted making man in the first place because he had turned so violent.
If he could have seen that coming, why would he regret it when it did? No we are given free will and with it comes accountability for the way we use it. He is disappointed when we use it to do wrong.

Answer 5

True God knows

Answer 6

Absolutely FALSE. Why would God have created a world in which he knows every outcome? In the Bible, God has been surprised at our choices and even given people the chance to change their choices. God rejoices at our good decisions and laments our bad ones. Eventually, our decisions will decide if our names make it on the book of life.

Answer 7

FALSE

If God knows what actions we will make, we don't really have freewill. If our path is already known, we aren't really free to choose the directions we will take.

And if God really does exist and has given us freewill, then He wouldn't know what choices we will make.

Answer 8

He does know. However I don't think, that for us, it's that simple. We have free will for us to choose Him. The only way anyone can truly love another is to choose. But God does know our choices ahead of time, and yet, that is out of our understanding to comprehend that, while He is seeking our hearts as well.
