Knowing doesn’t mean causing.

Just because God knows everything we will do (and we don’t) doesn’t mean he causes us to do those things. We still have free will and chose to do them.

Even while we lived in sin and enmity with God, He still provided a path to the perfection He intended for us at great personal expense through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Before He created the universe, He knew this was going to be necessary and He created us anyway.

It doesn’t matter whether he causes you do things, if he knows for certainty you’re going to do a particular thing that means you have no free will - you will do that thing.

If I know with 100% certainty that your going to rob a bank, that means it’s been predermined that you will rob the bank and you have no choice in the matter. Right?

Also if he knows your going to do a heinous act and he has the power to stop it (remember he’s all powerful) why doesn’t he?

I got a feeling that if you were in his place you would stop it, no?
