If the bible is cohesive, then it stands true that we actually have unpredictable free will, no matter how much God knows about us, he couldn't predict our actions. 2. He knows because he was there, not because he predicted it. It's not "Just God lols", it's a set of either-ors. You can't say we have free will and say that God predicted our actions, that's pure bs. So that's the kind of thought process that needs to be used, not "it's God lols". |
I know it's pure BS, that's what I'm saying. I myself don't believe in God, and this specific question is a big part of what led me away. You can't just pick and choose things about God in the bible so you can make it work, and you can't just say God is above rules. God is supposed to know everything past present and future, so when he made us he knew that he made some of us to fail. I don't know how saying that "he was there" changes any of that. Based on the bible, predestination is unavoidable.
