How can we have freewill if God knew us before the foundation of the world?

Question

If God knows everything, then he had to know you were going to be born. Therefore, he had to know your parents would conceive you. So how do you have a choice in who you will love or marry if God has already ordained plans for y our children?

Answer 1

God can see from beginning to end, so thats how He knows, its still your decision all the time.

He can see your life from beginning to end at this same second.......cool.......He is Awesome

Answer 2

Knowing as He does, why doesn't He send us to hell without having us live. My sentence makes as much sense as yours does. Saves a lot of wasted time.

1. God is fair
2. He knows and we do. Two different items.
3. He will ordain by answering our prayers.
4. He does not ordain certain things before the time.
5. He ordains what He has committed to do.
6. He is committed to His promises and that includes loving you. To prove it He sent Jesus
