If God already knows if we are going to heaven or hell before we are born, why must we "choose" to believe or not. Isn't it already determinded? Why put those on earth to taste the sweetness of life if it's going to be taken away from them, that sounds down right evil to me. What do I believe... I believe that the word of god has a great many flaws!

Much of what God is doing letting us run around down here is in the purpose of character-building. You ought seek to better understand the actual character of God. And you won't find that from the bible or any book alone. You have to find it out from him.

He knows what ur gonna choose,
but He gives u a choice.
He puts you on this earth for a great purpose which only He can reveal to you, and then its your choice.
God has a plan for your life
so does the devil,
free will is an act of love. He is not forcing you.
God knows all things. But He is not forceful. He creates people for specfic purposes, its your choice wether you fulfill it or not. This world needs you. no matter what you choose. But God's path is the one that will see you reach your real awesome destiny... and heaven afterwards.
The word of God doesnt have any flaws, there is just a lack of people who are willing to seek God Himself for the answers to things in the word that seem "less than correct".. they just need to be revealed to you by God. Ask and you shall receive answers. thanks for asking this one, but i think God could probably explain it better to you.
Jesus really does love you :-)

The LORD gave another message to Jeremiah. He said,"Go down to the shop where clay pots and jars are made. I will speak to you while you are there."
So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so the potter squashed the jar into a lump of clay and started again.
Then the LORD gave me this message: "O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand.
If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. And if I announce that I will build up and plant a certain nation or kingdom, making it strong and great, but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless that nation as I had said I would.
Jeremiah 18:1-10
Who are you to say the Word has many flaws, God is evil, man of clay?
God says, "I have set before you life and death, so choose Life!"

The heart of man also has a great many flaws--we assume that this life is the best or only life--what if predetermination was taken away and this realm was the place where choice was made prevalent? It is still your choice to do whatever your soul wills and that choice affects your outward man as well as your eternal being...

Yes he knows, but he wants us to decide to love him, he doesn't force us though. He does give us freewill, just like he gave Jesus his son. Jesus choose to die for us God his father did not force him to die for a bunch of no good men and women that were not worth the salt that goes in their bread. he always did what was pleasing to his father because he loved him so. He could have called out to God to stop it at any time,, and God would have listened, but there would probably be no earth or mankind right now to be having this conversation right now. God is good,he is loving, just believe it and let him in.

to respond to your question, confident the residing God of all advent did comprehend that there could be people who could decide for to stick to the evil one as a replace of accepting His Salvation. He is familiar with all issues, yet we as mere people (made out of the airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust of the earth) do no longer comprehend what's powerful in front persons, no longer to show 'all' issues. So, the understanding of the LORD has no longer something to do with what we decide for to settle for. The lesson isn't for the instructor, yet for the pupil. it truly is techniques-blowing to me which you will ask this kind of question, and then upload on the tip; "Jesus is Savior!" the shown fact that he's the Savior would desire to be sufficient sufficient data that the residing God gave guy a decision and while guy have been given so evil and depraved, He did no longer smash all people. yet, gave us His in easy terms begotten Son as a ransom for no longer His sins, yet OURS. in case you have such deep questions, in line with risk Catholic isn't a thank you to pass -- for the Messiah is the only one that would shop us from the evil of this international. he's unmistakably, "the way, the certainty and The existence'. Be Blessed:-D

I'm not real sure about pre-destiny. I do believe that God gives us choices in our life. That's what helps you grow as a Christian. I don't believe it's already determined. It's up to you., and your choices.

Heaven, hell, God? How about straightforward spiritual enlightenment-it's a lot more credible from an intellectual viewpoint.

I could not agree more. And 'they' say God is love. Whatever.
I see NewCatholic tried to answer. I also see she/he has a hard time understanding questions written in English!
