If God is all knowing, then he already knows whether I am going to heaven or hell. Why doesn't he just put me in one of them now?

"He that hath the son hath life, But he that hath not the son hath not life but the wrath of God abidith on him"
"He that believeth on him is not condemned:but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotton Son of God"(John 3:18) "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine upon them" (11 Cor 4:4)
God knows what choice you will make in the end but He still gives you free will to chose if you will be in heaven or hell when you die. He does not force himself on anyone.

If God knows what choices Im going to make, then it isn't free will, because my destination is known by God.

ThomasUK: It is free will because you are able to choose your destination. You are able to choose if you want to accept Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour, and thus, have a home promised to you in heaven to someday enter in and enjoy the joy of for eternity, or reject Christ and be seperated from God in the lake of fire for eternity.

If god knows you won't choose, then you have no ability to avoid not choosing.

A Child is a gift from God, and God is all knowing: Why would God bring a child into the world knowing they are going to Hell? I hear the "free will" answer all the time, but if it's already known, then you are already predestined.

If god is omniscient and omnipresent, he already knows who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. Isn't it a little unfair that he is just waiting for our ultimate end and there is nothing that anyone could do to change our fate?

To be absent from the body means to be present with God right? Well why does the bible say that the dead in Christ shall rise first? Shouldn't they already be in heaven?

If God knows which people are going to heaven and which going to hell before he creates them, why does he even bother creating the individuals who are destined for hell? It seems kind of mean, doesn't it?

If God knows all past and future, then he knows who is going to heaven or hell anyway. So why the 'free will' game?
