Do you belive in Free Will?

he created us w/ free-will. Predistination and free-will don't interfere w/ each other..cus in our timeframe we are free to do anything..yet w/ god he knows already..yet they are mutually exclusive...he isn't forcing us to obey him,,but rather on our own..

I believe that God gave us a Free Will. God is omniscient, knowing all things, but knowing is not the same as predestining. God knew that I would write this statement, but that doesn't mean that He made me do it. Also, if God controls all things, and there is no Free Will, then why does evil exist? What is the purpose of evil without Free Will?

But I have heard strong arguments for predestination, and you are entitled to your belief. After all, you can choose to believe in predestination if you want to. :)

Believe in the Free Willy.

Thats one part of you, God does not control, right?

You need to define your term a little more. We have free will to do those things we are able to do, like turn right or turn left, lift our hand or not lift our hand. However when it comes to spiritual matters things are a little different. Having been born dead in sin no man has the free will to "choose" God or to believe. He is spiritually blind and can't see the kingdom of God much less choose it. So he goes about his life doing what he does "willingly" but will never seek God in truth because he is unable just as a physically dead man can not choose to get up out of the grave.

As to predestination yes God is in complete control and is bringing about His purposes even as we go about our daily lives. Even the wickedness of man brings about Gods good purposes as when Josephs brothers wickedly sold him but God used that situation for good to save many people alive from famine.

I think God does control all things but I also believe in free will. For instance, God knows that you are going to choose the wrong thing to do but he hopes right up until you do it that you will choose to do the right thing. He doesn't force you to do the right thing; he lives it to you to choose.

God gave us free will; if he hadnt.. Why would Satan have opposed him in Heaven, and why would humans be going against him constantly. Why would he cause this to happen? Some people believe in predestination because of prophecies; its true he can CAUSE things to happen if it has to in order for his will to be, but he hasnt set a path for the world and thats how it will and always will be.

no . I believe in free will .predestination is where we go by the choices we make GOD steps back and lets us go where we will if you make a bad choice and wined up in trouble it was you who put yourself their so why blame GOD If he controlled everything all would be the same GOD BLESS happy day

I don't believe in free will. Every time you do something, the action came from a physical chain of events in your brain. How is your free will supposed to influence those physical events? Are we supposed to push molecules around with telekinesis or something? I think the concept of free will doesn't even make sense when you think about it.

You have it mixed up. Ofcourse there is free will but a certain behaviour pattern results in typical results or destiny. So behaviour patterns decide your predestined fate happy or sad for that particular pattern. You have the freewill to choose the behaviour pattern. Hope that makes sense!

Of course, God gave us free will. We can choose. This life wouldn't be much of a test if alll our actions were predetermined. We would be like robots.

God gave us free will

we do what we choose but God will always prosper in the end
