ok - but just one more time - i really have to clean up the cats hairballs
Does God know BEFORE a child is born is that child will profess a faith or not?
Well, of course - He's omnipotent...
By the same token, He, knows ALL - part of that ALL, is knowing who is or isnt "elect"
Why do you limit God?
Yes, God is omnipotent....no hairballs there.
However, he gives man “free will.”
Some men (and women) sin. So God waits for them to come back to the Church and ask forgiveness.
But God is a loving God — the choice is that of the man or the woman. This is not limiting God at all.
Humans are the limited ones because of original sin.
