I understand that God must know all, but does he choose who goes to heaven and hell. Is there any way that God doesn't know what I am going to do at any given time?

I prefer the line of thought that says you can choose your destiny. I think that free choice throughout the world is one of the most needed things. Without it, life just doesn't seem worth living, does it? If everyone has a scripted part in the future of the world, why not just do nothing, and have nothing happen to you. It wouldn't matter anyway, because it would not be your choice.

The bible says that God wills that "none could perish" (2 Peter 3:9) The bible also says that even nature factors out that God is Lord of all introduction (Romans a million:20). anybody has an similar probability to be sure God. i imagine you're stricken via the conception of preordination. i do no longer trust that God has preordained no matter if someone will be kept or no longer. This flies contained in the face of salvation. that's a loose present, freely given. If the deck replaced into stacked, as a way to speak, it may all become meaningless. God under no circumstances supplies up, any more advantageous than any earthly be sure could supply up on their loved toddler. He loves us too a lot and gave too massive a sacrifice on our behalf to instruct His back.

God gave you a free will, that means you choose what you do, yes God knows what you're going 2 do, but he doesn't choose what you do, heaven and hell is your choice, God doesn't force any one 2 do anything, you can choose 2 get saved and go 2 heaven or you can choose not 2get saved. it's up 2 you.

No, you choose. Just because God knows what you will choose, doesn't mean it's not your choice. Each person makes the choice of whether or not they will go to heaven by the choice they make concerning God's Son, Jesus Christ. Will they repent and receive Him as their Lord and Savior or will they reject Him?

We all have free will. We choose what path we take.
If we take the path that God would like for us to take, we get good things in the end.
But when we go the other way that is when we get in trouble.
Everything good comes from God, and everything bad come from the Devil.

There is predestination. It works in accordance with our freewill. Predestination is based on the foreknowledge of God. This foreknowledge is due to the fact that God is outside of time which means He knows the past, present as well as the future. It's not that we don't have a choice...it's that God, in his omniscience, knows what choice you are going to make before you make it. And your calling, your decisions stems from that foreknowledge of God.

We all have free will, it is also called agency... it is a gift from God... for us to choose daily and to learn from our choices...
He does know all, that is why He is called Ominscient... He is a perfect Heavenly Being... He is God... He who is our Father
so He knows what is the best for us individually and collectively... but he will not take our agency away... he just wants us to ask Him what we should do... He will guide us!

I believe that God knows what you will do in the end. He knows everything. But we do have freedom to make our own choices. He is a gentleman and doesn't press Himself on anyone. It is our choice to deny Him and go to Hell or choose Him and go to heaven when we die. He hopes that we will make the right choice.

Proverbs 15:3 " The eyes of the Lord are everyplace, beholding the evil and the good ". You have a free will , but he will put a stumbling block in your way when you are disobedient , or to test your faith .

You have complete free will but if you fallow Christ God will lead you down the right path. God is also Omani present...in other words everywhere all the time all at once.
