: Not a theologian but a reader of theology of the "lighter" variety.
: C.S. Lewis stated, I believe in "The Screwtape Letters", that to watch a person do something is not to make him do it.
: Personally, I've considered free will proof of God, it is the ability to state that in spite of cirstances, or even my own selfish desires, "I choose..." It's an underutilized gift to human kind. Too many of us want to go with the flow rather than exercising the power of choice. Even if our physical cirstances limit us to being able to choose only a mind set, the ability to choose remains.
: Good luck in your search to build a better understanding.
To Hml regarding the question at hand. The name of this cite is the Judeo Christian Heritage, and the question Grey asked is that can free will exist when an omnipresent god, who knows all to come as defined and limited by christianity, is defined as DETERMINISTIC?? What the hell did your answer come from , god?
