I like what Leibniz said about all this in his book "Theodicy".If God is, and always has been, fully omniscient, and it is all of Him and none of us that saves us, no works or self-effort or self-will or whatever... doesn't that also mean that He created it all (us) to be the way it (or they, us) is or are, or is going, ect...? And what path they or it or us all takes and is taking...?
Anyway, if God is and always has been 100% fully omniscient, doesn't He choose who goes where, Heaven or Hell, ect, that we don't send ourselves there (no real choice) or what, if God is and always has been 100% fully omniscient...? Doesn't that (100% full omniscience) negate any real "choice"...? Or not...?
That we could all be part of some kind of "program" maybe...? Or have been and are programmed...? And are running it...? What we are, and what we were, and what we will become, every detail of it all, is all fully known to Him...?
Does that negate free will, or self will (for us)...?
Comments...?
God Bless!
He was a genius of the enlightenment era and rationalism and his purely logical and pious views are worthy reading.
The book "Theodicy" was written as a philosophical response to a known Calvinist P. Bayle in France.
