Mind-blow: Our choices are not pre-determined, but God knows

Just because someone knows something will happen, doesn't mean he has an active part in it actually happening.

Seeing the future and forging it are 2 different things.

Maybe, but in this case he certainly does.

I mean, God knew precisely what would happen within the universe before he created it. Since he created every detail of it and knew how they would react to each other, he is responsible for everything that happens. For example, if I set up a bunch of domino bricks in a near perfect alignment and decides to push one brick, I am most certainly to blame not only for the first brick falling, but for every brick that falls. Same thing with the, by God, pre-determined universe.

Hey 1, I'm glad you joined. I think that this is where I am convinced by yesterday's revelation. The bricks actually don't fall in domino, there is no set path, no interconnection. Otherwise, it is not free will.

Hynad, I'm happy to see you too. (and I'm sorry for how I treated you...)
