The logic of it is very interesting. If He knows the number of hairs on my head and the world runs according to His plan, then I presume He knows what I will choose and when, even though I myself am free to choose along the way. Seems incorrect to think that He doesn’t know how this will end for each of us.

Maybe this is just really a discussion on the precise definition of predetermination/predestination or whatever.

I’ve not bought into the argument that this can’t be discussed because “if the answer is already known, the weak minded will just give up trying.”

What everyone seems to be missing here is control.

Being able to know or see everything (Omniscience) plus being all powerful (Omnipotent), God would also have the ability (and desire) to control those powers!

Just because God can do or know everything .. Does not mean that he has to.
