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

It does not matter whether God is controlling our actions though. If you asked him, "Will I enter heaven in my afterlife?" and his answer is "I don't know yet.", then he is not all-knowing. His knowledge would be expanding, which is supposed to be impossible for an almighty being.

He knows the1. He knows before it happens who's going to heaven and who is not, by their own free will.

How can their will be free if every single action that they are going to make is set in stone? That is the opposite of free will. And going back to your OP, how does he not know why you have made/will make each decision in your life despite being able to analyze every single atom in your body (well, brain mainly) and your entire soul? How does he not know when he supposedly is all-knowing?

 

The underlying issue is that God cannot create a universe in which the future cannot be predicted by him, despite being almighty. Just like he cannot create a god that is more powerful than him, despite being almighty. God is a paradox.
