But I believe (like some Gnostics) that God gave us Free Will-—because of this he doesn’t know what we will do—what choices we make—the good ones and the bad. I think that makes the world more interesting for God. God doesn’t know the end of the story—only that its coming. In the choices we make (both good and bad) we learn and grow in spirit. Sometimes the bad choices cause more learning than the good ones.

Then you believe in a very weak ‘god’....

Romans 9:20-24
Isaiah 46:10
Psalm 33:11
Proverbs 19:21
Isaiah 14:24

God knows His creation inside and out. Nothing is a surprise to Him. Merry Christmas!

Why do you say Gnostics believe in free will?

God gave all humans a free will.
