I think we're gonna find out.

That's your definition? ;-)

How do you define it?

I hold to the standard definition. :-) As I understand the standard definition, it is that some believe God created some for Heaven and some for Hell. It's not theology to which I adhere. And as I see it, this definition of double predestination does not equate to omniscience so I agree with your previous statement. God knows where everyone spends eternity and of course God knows everything about everything, but that does not equate to God creating some for Heaven and some for Hell.

Yep, that's pretty much where I'm headed. There are some other variances such as infralapsarian and supralapsarian..

But yeah, omniscient means all-knowing, period. To go past this theologically requires additional propositions.

If God knew everything prior to creating Scripter, then He also knew Scripter's destiny. Had He not wanted you created, then He would not have created you. Therefore, you were created "for" your destiny.

We believe, since God is Love, that all His purposes are Just. (Justice being one form of Love.)
