@chaney3 removed their quoted postI think I have addressed how, theoretically, it DOES work. The notion that "God is quite aware of what choices we make" does not negate the notion of "free will".

@chaney3 removed their quoted postYou can dissect the post in which I explained how I see the relationship between predestination and free will works.
@pb1022 saidYou'd perhaps be better off pitching this to chaney3 rather than me.
This might help.
@pb1022 saidThis is a very poor analogy for something involving faith, the human consciousness, and matters pertaining to our conscience. A hungry dog eating a hamburger? A "dog’s free will"?
Suppose I see a very hungry dog and I put a hamburger in front of it.
Is my knowing the very hungry dog will eat the hamburger interfering with the dog’s free will not to eat it?
@chaney3 removed their quoted postTake a look at what I posted on page 1. If you believe that God is omniscient and not bound by time and already has knowledge of what will happen in the future, then it does 'work'.
@chaney3 removed their quoted postI think the theology of it is that each person's destiny [i.e. the go to hell thing] is in each person's hands regardless of God's foreknowledge.
@chaney3 removed their quoted postEach person's destiny is, nevertheless in their own hands, according to the theology.
@chaney3 removed their quoted postYou are getting a "real answer".
