I was assuming that all had free will.

Oh. Well..


…then...


…nevermind.  {^_^}


… Since He knows it to be "drive the car" will it be "get a ride?

Nope. And since it contradicts neither free will nor omniscience, that's a perfect example.

I apologize for my confusion, and thank you for your posts..

However, if it can NEVER be "get a ride," then we MUST say that everything is predestined and will not change ONCE the creation was begun.

God always knew that it would never be "get a ride."

That is why it does not matter if it is simply, "God decided." Because He did. He could have NOT made this world.

In that sense, He decided everything that would ever be...by fixing it in that things known to Him WOULD come to pass.

We are left to trust Him and His choices.

Or we can believe that God simply directs everything that He has scripted.

We are left to trust Him and His choices.
