lets take homosexuality for instance. being omniscient means you know what will happen before it happens and also knowing all that is currently happening. therefore, logically, god must create homosexuals to be homosexuals...how could you not be what god wants you to be if he already knows what youre going to be, and then creates you to be just that???!!!??? so christians, which is it?...does god know and is responsible for homosexuals, or, does he not know and is therefore not omniscient as you claim?

It isn't possible, free will and an omniscient god are mutually exclusive concepts, as you rightly point out. What was the purpose of the question since you have already stated the only answer you will accept?

I'm afraid your logic is flawed...
God is omniscient, this does not mean God creates homosexuals, though He knows who are going to choose this lifestyle.
God wants you to follow Him, you have the choice, He knows which choice you will make

Having free will is the gift of knowing right from wrong and then choosing one or the other. Just because God knows you're gay, it doesn't mean you have to act on it or indulge in sin. It's not that God already knows, it's about giving yourself a choice and figuring out what kind of person you are. Maybe God is hoping that you will surprise Him with the right choice.

properly i might might desire to argue that in view that thoughts are an electric powered technique on your innovations, having an MRI test might instruct diverse interest on your innovations with diverse extreme thoughts. additionally thoughts are observable. in case you're taking a toy from a baby, does the infant not cry...do his eyes not fill of with tears. in case you punch a guy interior the face, will he not get indignant and punch you returned. end: thoughts exist. yet there isn't something to observe the existance of God. you assert that folk can see the strikes of God all around them, the international he created, his artwork by using super human beings. it particularly is merely your concept First, there is not any information that God created the international...there is not any Copywrite 4000 BC stumbled on on the outdoors. there is not any Made in Heaven on any rock. you could not merely say you spot the strikes of God all around you and that he created the international in case you have not any evidence different than your guy or woman thoughts. thoughts at the instant are not information. they are speedy assumptions that in the time of a few way might make sense. yet merely in view which you think of a few thing is authentic, does not make it authentic. perhaps merely perhaps, physics and time play a small function interior the creation of Earth. 2nd, how precisely does he artwork by using human beings jointly with mom teresa. I fairly don't recognize lots approximately mom teresa, different than she replaced into an exceptionally giving and loving guy or woman. She did solid issues for individuals. yet i don't see any strikes of God by using her artwork, I see somebody who believes that in case you decide on some thing performed you gotta do it your self. end: God does not exist

The only way for Freewill to exist is if God doesn't.
Hooray for atheism.

Knowing all doesn't mean dictating lives.Nor does your circular logic disprove anything.At some point a person chooses sodomy as a way of life.

We have freewill as Christians...if atheists want it, they will have to convert. Live with it, the question is getting old.
Oh...and stop with the homosexual bit...its a very small fraction of fanatics...not all Christians or even believer's, who are homophobic. Quit making it about religion.
