: I am wondering why we aren't considered "robot-like" beings who are predestined. I know we have the free will that God gave us, but if He already knows our path, if he already knows what we are going to do, then we only have one path and we can't change that path, right?
Ahh, but there is a difference between foreknowledge and causation. Just because I know the sun will rise tomorrow does not mean that I cause it to do so, right? God can know what we will do without causing us to do it. Make sense?
Peace,
Phil
