If I truly have free will to make any choice I want, then how does God already know what I will choose? If God knows the future, then are the choices I'm making today not already made as far as God is concerned? Who wrote the script I'm living? Me or God?

If God is really omnipotent, all-knower, and ubiquitous; who can anticipate to everything any man or woman anywhere is doing or thinking of doing, then that God has to know exactly what's in your mind. I'm not in anyway religious. Spiritual, yes. I do believe in a Supreme Spirit(Supreme Intelligence), but I'm not ready to call IT a deity. I had a very personal experience which led me to believe in that Supreme Spirit. But I do belive that the way and manner in which you exsercise choices is a clear indication that you have freewill; consequently, that which you call "script" you're living is the result of those choice you and only you made. But God must not interfer in man's freewill despite what God already knows is bound to happen because only "freewill" can justiyf the so-called "The Day Of Judgment". For to exsercise judgment in the obsence of freewill would be a despotic tyrany.

We assume that just because God knows what it is that we are going to do, it effects free will. If I were watching a movie I had seen before, I would know what was going to happen, yet I couldn't stop or change or alter the outcome of what was to happen in that movie. Hope this helps! God bless

why ask why? there are things in this universe that we just dont understand and never will. God is bigger than all infinity. He hold infinity in one hand. time is nothing to God. a day and thousand years are the same to Him. He transcends all things including time and thought. there is a sign over the door of heaven. Enter in, any that chooses. is on one side. You were chosen before the beginning of time... is on the inside of the door of heaven. they are both true... they are utterly unreconcilable in our finite mortal minds...and they both make sense to God. God expects you to be responsible for your own life, today...live that way and the rest will make sense some day..in this life or the next.

here is something for you to think about. if he already knows what we do and may have already forced our will into doing so why does one who commits a supposed sin get sent to hell when it was not supposedly his fault since his will was forced into it by someone of such power? should someone take the blame for something god forced upon that person? if god is perect shouldnt his perfection make him take responsiblity for what he caused and supposedly is at fault for?
