Its like getting pissed off at a computer for doing what it was programmed to do
God literally knows what we are going to do
yet he still makes us
so if someone kills another person and does not repent
he was destined to do that
and it would be literally impossible for him to make another decision
yet God made him anyways
that is sadistic
Eh
Think of it like (I fucking hate this analogy) Dr Strange in the end(?) of Infinity War the whole "I can see 28373773 futures" ye? Basically God knows everything that *can* happen but humans decide which path to go down yknow
It's less you're locked into one road but rather he just knows where all roads lead
so why make people who are going to hell then?
Unredeemed human beings are dominated by obstructions; Satan, as the prince of the mortal world, never lets go of what he considers his own unless he is overpowered by a stronger power, i.e. God. When God redeems a person, he redeems the entire person, including the will, which then is liberated to serve God. No one can achieve salvation or redemption through their own willpower—people do not choose between good or evil, because they are naturally dominated by evil, and salvation is simply the product of God unilaterally changing a person's heart and turning them to good ends. Were it not so, God would not be omnipotent and omniscient and would lack total sovereignty over creation.
jk
Man is essentially dominated by evil and can only do evil apart from God. With God, Man can do Good.
can they do good without god lol
Bruh everyone *can* go to Hell what do you mean "so why make people who can go to Hell"
oh
who are going to hell
Again,, please explain because like
Anyone can go to Hell if they choose to make actions that lead them there
If God knows that I will go to hell after I die
why would he make me in the first place
God knows you can or can't go to Hell but you're not predestined for either
He knows all the possible paths
You have to choose them
but surly God knows what path i will take
He gave us free will to choose our own path
thats the wrong word
He gave Us free will to sin and reject him
but is it free will if he already knows what we are going to do?
Yes
Those who reject Christ, and those are unrepentant.
Because he knows all we can physically do ever but still let's us make mistakes
let me tell you, rejecting God is the best thing I ever done
Is that not the truest definition of free will, knowing what someone does will harm them and letting them do it anyway? Even if control is to their benefit?
He let's us choose to sin and reject him but knows where all paths lead in the end
We can accept the free gift of Christ, or reject that gift.
The gift of sacrificing my Sunday mornings
