    I 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".

    This might help.

    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?

    You can dissect the post in which I explained how I see the relationship between predestination and free will works.

    You'd perhaps be better off pitching this to chaney3 rather than me.

    This 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"?

    Take 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'.

    I 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.

    Each person's destiny is, nevertheless in their own hands, according to the theology.

    You are getting a "real answer".

    If you don't believe that God is omniscient and not bound by time and you don't think he has knowledge of the future, so be it.
