I really do not know if God wants you to, but He certainly created you knowing you would do it, right?

You’re right, that is not a very convincing plea for the courts here on earth. I cannot say what happens after death.

The Church Fathers certainly wrestled with the concept of foreknowledge, but only Augustine wandered over to the predestination of the saints. Calvin, of course, took it a step further.

Hebrews 9: 27Just as it is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment,t 28so also Christ, offered once to take away the sins of many,* will appear a second time, not to take away sin but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await him.u
