What is Freewill, isn't it impossible to have?

Correct. If god is omniscient then everything is predetermined and everything that happens is his will. Most christians think they have free will and believe god is omniscient which is logically impossible.

I believe that Ultimate Free Will is really an illusion you are allowed to only do what God allows you. You are allowed to make basic choices in life as long as those choices do affect God's plan.

Basically what I am trying to say is that each individual is allowed to make choices within certains boundaries that God has already progammed so that the universe will still act according to his Plan. So even though God knows everything you are going to do he lets you make choices within certain boundaries.

This is something I struggled to understand for a while because of the whole predestination argument where your entire life is already programmed to be exactly what God wanted it to be. However as I researched this issue more I realized that you do have choices in life. Even though there are many variables there are parameters.

If there is a God, and I don't believe there is, then time to Him might not be the same as time is for us. We have to travel from the present to the future (and remember the past). Maybe present, future and past would all be together for God; if so, that might not preclude free will.

However, I once saw a TV documentary that traced behaviour patterns from insects to humans, showing the increasing complexity of how behaviours are over-ridden. It gave the impression that we don't decide what to do so much as decide what not to do. And it showed what happens when someone's ability to do this is faulty, such as constantly checking that doors are locked and being unable to stop themselves (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).

More recently, I saw a programme in which brain responses and responses to stimuli were measured and compared. It turned out that reactions to stimuli happened before the brain constructed the reason for the decision.

So it's questionable that we actually do have free will; but as long as we gain enough experience to be effective does it matter to us that free will may be an illusion?

The Bible teaches that God is selective when it comes to foreordaining the future. For example, God foretold that "a Great crowd" of righteous humans would survive the destruction of the wicked at the end ofthe present system of things. (Revelation 7:9, 14) Note, though, that God did not give a specific number for that great crowd. Why? He does not predestinate individuals. God is like the loving father of a large family. He knows that at least some of His children will reciprocate His love, but He does not predetermine the number.

Compare God's use of foreordination with the way he uses his power. As the Almighty, God has absolute power. (Psalm 91:1, Isaiah 40:26, 28) But does he use his power in an uncontrolled manner? No. For instance, he held back from acting against Babylon, an enemy of ancient Israel, until the time was right. "I kept exercising self-control,

' God said. (Isaiah 42:14) The same principle applies to his use of foreknowledge and foreordination. Jehovah exercises self-control in order to respect the free will that he gave us.

God's control of his powers does not limit him or render him imperfect. In fact, it magnifies his greatness, and it endears him to us, for it shows that his sovereignty truly is exercised not only with omniscience and power but also with love and respect for the free will of his intelligent creation.

On the other hand, if God predetermines everything, including every nasty accident and vile deed that has ever happened, could we not rightly blame him for all the misery and suffering in the world? Thus, upon closer inspection, the teaching of predestination does not honor God, but casts a pall over him. It paints him as cruel unjust, and unloving-the very opoosite of what the Bible says about him.-Deuteronomy 32:4

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

By means of his servant, Moses, God said to the nation of Israel: :I have put life and death before you, . . . and you must choose life . . .

by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him; for he is your life and the length of you days." (Deuteronomy 30:19, 20) Had God predestinated each Israelite either to love him and gain life or to disregard him and merit death, His words would have been both meaningless and insincere. Do you believe that God, " a lover of justice" and the very personification of love, would act in sucg an arbitrary way?-Psalm 37:28; 1 John 4:8.

God's appeal to his servants to choose life applies even more so to us today, for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that we are rapidly approaching the end of the present system of things. (Matthew 24:3-9; 2 Timothy 3:1-5) How do we choose life? We do so essentially the same way as the ancient Israelites did. By "loving Jehovah," by " listening to his voice," and by "sticking to him." Of course, we can only do these things when we know God as a person and understand his requirements for us. In preayer to God, Jesus said: "This is eternal life, to know you, the only true God, and him you have sent-Jesus Christ." (John 17:3)

FREE WILL:

Proceeding from the will or from one's own choice or consent; unconstrained by interference.

Yes, of course God is going to know what happens. Now why do you think that having free will is "a life on rails"? The problem is (especially with younger kids) is that you know what you are going to do as well. God knows your heart as well as your mind. He knows why you make your choices. Yet he gave us free will to see what choice we will make without force or interference in our choices. And He never has. So whether you believe in Him or not, He has a running tally of everything you've ever done in your life that you will have to account for one day - whether you like it or not! It's called Judgement Day. That's the sweet part for those of us who DO respect God and do believe in Him. We also have a running tally to account for, but you unbelievers are completely screwed.

I do whatever I want. For instance I'm not supposed to do morphine but that didn't stop me from crushing up a pull and stuffing it up my nose 30 minutes ago. As for your theory its probable that events will be similar no matter how you carry them out. A junkie at heart will likely use junk just as a christian at heart will likely try toi follow the gospel. So its reasonable to believe that if a God existed it could tell what you would do based on your personality.

free," of the second marriage of a woman of the will of God,look up the word freewill ok

Well I don't believe in God or free will, but for your question, there is a solution.

If you read a story about a person from history, such as the life of Julius Caesar, even though you know what's going to happen in his life, that doesn't deny free will. He had free will even though you can read the whole story of his life. Same with the idea of God knowing all through all time.

You have freewill. God doesn't give a rat's a** what you do.

Does Yahoo know what punctuation is? Stop bothering me.

freewill is impossible

but for a different reason than what you are saying.

you don't really want to know why
