So how could God become upset about anything He knew millions of years ago was going to happen? He also knew how it would be resolved. So how could he ever be upset?

So you have a question about God The Almighty. Pray and he will answer your question. Then get back on here and tell us all what you think now! 1. Everyday you can give God something good that you have done that day. Get up again do something good again. Oh and never stop praying. 2. Of course God knows everything. Our future and all. When you read The Bible you will see, God has personality because it says so! Which means he gets mad at people for being stupid and there are times he'll knock you down. over and over, until you begin to see! Plant your seed watch it grow. God is happy with all of us. I think people really know there future. Because you don't put your hand back into a flame now do you? It hurts! We all know things are born and things die.It's just the way it is. Most importantly be happy in your skin! Your the only YOU in this world! Make the best of it. Which means put a smile on your face and enjoy life to the fullest. Have a blast!!!!!!

I don't agree with the idea of God at all, not even down to his existence, and that certainly puts a slant on how I'm able to answer this question, doesn't it...

There is no pre-destiny of what happens on a minute to minute, day to day or even age to age basis. There is no pre-destiny at all; just as there is no god.

Some things about the future can be know, however. Our current knowledge and understanding of Earth's systems have allowed us to better predict tomorrows weather and next years climate changes. We are able to look far into space and be relatively certain that our Earth isn't going to have a collision with another substantial body within the next few months... This isn't pre-destiny, of course, but it is an ability beyond that of god according to what I've seen.

The idea of an omniscient god is nonsense... and although an all-knowing god may be a fascinating and wonderous idea, that's all it is, an idea and nothing more.

The reason you may be confused about God is because you are personifying Him. You are probably imagining a big white-bearded man sitting on a throne in the clouds watching us from above.

In reality, God is the Creator of all things. He is our loving Father. All descriptions that attempt to describe God, but all fall short because they use personifications to try to classify God as a human.

God planned everything and, thus, knows the future. However, just because you know something to be true does not mean you cannot be disappointed about it. If I spill some milk accidentally, I can still be upset about it even after it has happened and I already know it happened. So, if I know beforehand that I will spill milk, maybe I could stop myself. If we all lived like that, however, and always prevented "bad" things from happening... we'd never learn. In other words, God takes "bad" things and uses them for good.

What we see as "bad" is just another tool in God's tool-belt. What God sees as "bad" is when we, using free will, choose to disobey His laws. The only way God could ensure that we never disobey His laws is if He took away our free will, but God loves us and has given us a choice to love Him in return, rather than merely programming us to.

Imagine if you had children and your children only loved you because they were programmed to. Imagine if they didn't have to capacity to be upset with you or break your rules. While this MIGHT sound like a great thing from the point of view of a parent, it's a very shallow existence. True love requires free will. I want my children to love me because they choose to love me, not because they have to. I want my children to eventually obey my rules because they see and understand that my rules are wise and will keep them safe and happy, not simply because "I say so."

He's only upset that we cause ourselves so much pain...

He knows all the other smaller, still possible outcomes as well as what will happen. He wants to see goodness come to us, even though He sees the badness or harm that we will choose. He can bring goodness even out of the wrong we choose, but it does not mean that He doesn't wish to see us make a better choice for ourselves, by trusting in Him so that He can bring pure goodness into our lives in spite of our past faithlessness. He knows that one day, (after we see how real He is and how important trusting Him is) that the future things that we choose will not be harmful because we are finally trusting/obeying Him.

If I do what the Holy Spirit tells me to do.I get blessed.If I disobey I do not.And i am not talking about sin Everyone commits sins.I am talking about God puts something in my heart that I need to do for God's perfect will and when I go against the common thing that I should do and do God's command at the time He tells me to do it blessings fall from heaven on me.It took many years for me to understand this by having a CLOSE relationship with Jesus.That is how I learned this and you have to know the voice of God in your heart because the devil tries to steer you in the wrong direction.God knows what you will do but the question is are you willing to do it God's way?

God means, happiness galore, infact happiness infinite. It is wrong to assume that there is happiness in God. The fact is that He Himself is happiness and nothing else. The happiness that we experience in the world, though illusive is also from Him. That is because He is omnipresent. So there is happiness everywhere. And that is the reason that we are hell bent upon seeking that happiness from our kins, friends, desires and fame. There can't be a second when we cease to pursue our goal of seeking happiness.

God is happiness and therefore, saying that He wants to be happy, is just like saying that the light is shadowed by the darkness and wants to be enlightened! Darkness can never envelop light. In fact darkness is because of the light. It owes it's existence to light only.

God again gives us a taste of being free from our sorrows (a kind of happiness), when we are in deep sleep. This kind of happiness is of a higher level than any other happiness in the world that is available to any of us. Sorrow goes but we still remain far from real happiness. May be the ailing son who was sleeping by the side, dies even, but we are so bereft of our sorrow and worry that we continue sleeping in our slumber. When we wake up eventually, we start crying.

That will mean that being free of worries, does not mean getting real happiness. These kind of happinesses are in fact sorrows in waiting.

The true happiness once tasted even for a second, and even in our dreams, will be ours for all times till eternity. That is the reason for us to be in pursuit of God (Krishn).

You can know that a bad event is coming, but it still makes you sad when it actually happens.

Think of a loved one being diagnosed with a terminal illness and being told that they have six months to live. It's just as sad when they actually die as it is when you originally find out that they're circling the drain.

If destiny is true, then even god don't have a free will, everything that's going to happen is pre-decided. But if god doesn't have a free will, then how can he be god? He's bound to higher power just like we are thought to!

I think that God knows what is going to happen based on our choices. He hopes that we make the right choice and tries to guide us. He also knows what will happen to us when we make the wrong choices. When the wrong choice is made He can feel sad about that choice even when He knew it would happen because He was hoping all along that we would make the right choice.
