Lord, can we talk?
I need You to answer this question....if you know ALL things past and present, and knew us before we were born, then did You already know who would become Your followers and who would refuse?

A MOST PROFOUND QUESTION!!!
Probably no one will ever know the answer but to me I would have to say what better way to teach people than by example. He lived as he taught and showed all by his example what is the very best that life can be.

The same offer is made to all, he does not determine our destiny, we do by our actions. He may know the outcome, but he loves us all enough to give us the chance to try.
I guess this is because there would be no point in sending us to a world of pleasure and pain, to be tried and tested, if we were all going to be perfect. He didn't want to rob us of the right to choose whether we would follow him or not, for then we would not be doing good because we want to. It is no valiant thing to do good simply because you are compelled, it is much better to do good out of a loving heart. Great stuff! Made me really think!

An excellent and profound question!

I Have Always....
Wondered that!!! And my answer was always the fact that we have free will to choose him or reject him, but he knows the beginning to the end and the end to th beginning...so therfore I would have to say he knows...but I don't think everything is black and white either...We'll have the answers when we get to heaven !!!This was quite a thought provoking few lines...Thanks for sharing!!!~~Toni~~

well I personally think God does know, but I also think we don't have the same revelation as He does about it because if murders and such, knew they were going to serving Christ in the end, they wouldn't have committed the sins. and so on!
thanks Toni
