If you believe in one God that is everywhere, how can you be placed in some separation from that One God ?

Question

If God knows everything and knew everything you would do, how can free choice ever really exist? I know I have passion and try to do the right thing, more than most that I see in this illusion, but who cares really? I mean God made all the sins and divisions into life, knowing exactly what would happen. So do your best right? I mean be civil unto each other, right? But there is no eternal hell if God is everywhere, there is no separation, right? Think about this, use your head!

Answer 1

You are Not seperate from god. Do not think of god as guy or girl or someone, it is just all that is together, connected. You are part of it ( ie, "God"). Hell is what you feel when you do nasty ****. Heaven is the opposite. even if you do not feel bad about doing bad things, you will just make the world that you live in suck and you will always be weary of others doing bad things to you ( ie, hell)...etc

Answer 2

All God said is that, "I am who I am". What is an "I am"? An I am is eternal and consciousness. I am cannot be prescient. You fall into a contradiction when you say this.

When you roll the dice, do you know the answer, before the person rolls the dice? All sorts of impossibilities occur at this thought. If you gave people free will, then that person might want to be different, change their own mind, at the moment of the roll. Do people change their minds? I think they do. I do not think you can predict it. More accurately, you cannot prove you can predict it.

You life is very important. Find your purpose and live it to the best of your ability.

Take care my friend

Answer 3

im religious so...well yes God knows everything so u cant hide anything from Him but... u do have free choice like u can choose to follow God or some other belifs. and we are to try to do our best in our everyday choices though we still screw up at times. and ur wrong. God didnt make all the sins and divisions. it Satan(devil) who let sins and stuff enter the world and God gave us commandmants so that we know what he wants. actually when we say God is everywhere, we dont mean literally, literally. we mean that He can see, hear and do anything at anyplace as if He really is there(here). i hope this answers ur question!

Answer 4

God's ways are not man's ways....God's thoughts are not man's thoughts....

We cannot even comprehend the Incomprehensible One. Think of it as a matter of many dimensions.

Also - "foreknowledge" is not necessarily "foreordained" - God is so omniscient that he knows what happens if you go straight, or if you turn left, or if you turn right - or if you turn around - or go an infinite number of ways. That is the essence of free will.

Think of the separation as being other-dimensional. Think Physics 101 - times 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 !! Think Stephen Hawking's brain on steroids.

And to complicate things - (made simple for the Believer) Jesus the Christ (God in Human flesh - the basis of the Incarnation) - bridged that dimension and became as one of us. The essence and cardinal doctrine of Christianity.

"Think about this. Use your head." And your heart and soul as well.

Answer 5

There is a spiritual separation which is not the same as a physcial separation. Yes God is everywhere. But haven't you been in a room full of people and felt alone? A person can be in the presence of God and not acknowledge it. You can allow your heart to be cold and dark and refuse to allow him inside. Therefore you would be separated from God. He didnt intend for sin to enter our lives. Since Lucifer chose of his own will to enter sin and take a bunch of folks down with him, then God honors that and will not force anyone's hand. He doesn't "make" us do anything. He knows all, but we don't. He wants us to love him and believe in him by sheer faith.

Answer 6

well, let's see.
Do you study the Bible, as He has instructed us to do ? To PROVE that you are doing the correct things, or only look at everyone else and use them a 'judgement call' ? That is the dangerous way to do things. Do you seek out others of the same faith, as He instructs us to do ?
Study and Learn.
Remember, MANY are called, few are chosen.
People personally separate themselves from Him every day. They live for money or fame or beauty. PRIDE is one of Man's greatest weaknesses, and one of someone's else's favorite ways to try to entice people into turning away from Him.
Free choice exists b/c you don't know the outcome.
No one really cares, except God. And I hope, you.
No, not your best, do what He tells us to in the Bible. - It's like a roadmap back to Him. He does provide all of us with different challenges, but we need to strengthen ourselves and find a way t oSTEP UP on those stumbling blocks- to learn from our mistakes.

Answer 7

God made neither sin, nor division...we did.

It is right that there is no hell, no separation...these are "results" of our dreaming we are separate from God.

God only knows us as God created us. "He" knows we need do nothing. We are one with Him. We are His Beloved. We create, in perfect love, in perfect joy, in perfect life.

Answer 8

GOD gave us freewill so that we can grow and mature.only out of experience can man mature.God is all knowing,but not the way we think.He does not know your thoughts,or else He will be an accomplice.we use our free will but He knows to the minutest detail of every reaction to every decision taken!bear this in mind!it is a blessing to be granted freewill!

Answer 9

I will use my head.
Just because God knows what you will chose, doesn't effect ur decision to chose it. God is not constricted by time or space, He created it.
We do not sense God around us because He conceals His presence from us. Life is the illusion that conceals us from God. Death is the drawing back of that illusion.

Answer 10

if you keep sinning, when adam first sinned, that made all of humanity separated from God.

sorry if that doesn't answer your question
