It may seem to you that I am supporting the predestination view; well in a way I am and in another way I am not. Let me explain. If God knows the future to the detail that I have suggested above, than he knows what choices people will make during their lives even before they are born. So we still have free will it’s just that God already knows what choices we are going to make.

Okay, I think I get it. We DO make the choices, its just God can sort of see into the future. We really do make our own choices, and he knows what they are before we're born, but we still got to make them ourselves. Right? He's just rewinding sort of. He's seeing his plan unfold. Everything happens for a reason and is meant to. Every choice we make leads to a different path, yes? If I'm missing the idea, let me know!

Robinsegg: I understand all of your points. Thank you for helping. I'll check out those books! :)

Thanks for the links and replies guys. I'm checking out the links right now, so I'm sure I'll have my own questions soon
Yup, because until you have the answer, you don't *know* anything beyond the natural. Do you want to be free by knowing the truth of God ?
