I’ll be put into one of the camps....no doubt.
You might lose your head over it.
Better than losing my soul!
Doesn’t God know before He creates us, who is doomed, and who isn’t?
They’ll just have to shoot me in the head.
Yes
Then how do you know you have freewill?
You’ll be put into the camps first......
My plan is to take some of THEM “out” before they put bullets to my head.....
Just because God knows all doesn’t mean you don’t have free will....otherwise, you’d just be a puppet.
I don’t think he knows, but he does have a really good idea. Even those “doomed” have a chance at redemption.
just because God already knows what we will choose does not mean that we don't have free will... He's outside of time... He knows the result... that does not have any bearing on the result...
It just occured to me, it would more likely be the neighbour of the beast across the street, though, wouldn’t it?
If, as you say, God, being sovereign, omnipotent, and omniscient, creates us, knowing what each of us is going to do and knows how it is all going to turn out, where is the freewill? Don’t we have to do as He has planned for us? How do you know you could have made different choices?
I’m thinking along the lines of Death by cop or in this case Death by NWO Storm Trooper. Hey I was just reaching for my wallet......
They’re training us through airport “security” to line up, be frisked, strip searched, take our water, etc. There are other ways too, but that to me is one of the more blatant efforts. If you speak up now against the poor, elderly man in the wheelchair being pawed, you don’t get to fly, and probably end up on one of the lists.
Tommy Thompson heads up.

Think of it this way:
You know that if you put your hands on the fire, your hands will surely burn.
You tell your child their hands will burn, too, and give the directions to stay away from the fire, so their hands don’t burn.
But, ultimately, it’s their decision whether or not to obey. You already know what will happen if they disobey....but, you haven’t removed from them the temptation for their entire lives. You may place obstacles in their path, but, sooner or later, because they still have free will, they may ultimately find a way to play with the fire....whether in secret or in the open. And if they make that choice, they will get burned.
Because you knew the result ahead of time, didn’t take away your child’s free will....to obey or disobey. And just because you KNEW didn’t make your child a puppet, either.
Ah you have a point.
Fortunately, I’m not the city planner for Hell.
