Christbros, how does free will fit in with God's omniscience. If we are determined how does this fit with God's love.

the fact that God knows what people will do before they do it bothers me. The devil at the end of the day even takes orders from him and God allows the devil to mess with people. People say we have free but who is the one doing the manipulating of the world around us. Things like where you were born when you were born. People are also manipulated to be evil. We see this with Judas and the pharaoh of Egypt. Why is that? Its because God uses people to complete HIS WILL.. The bible even talks about it and this is what it says.

Romans (9:17 - 21)

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth [7]
Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.

One of you will say to me: 'Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will
20
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? 'Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, `Why did you make me like this?'
21
Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use

Thats one of the things I cant get over about all of this. People are destined for hell and for heaven it seems. People are destined to live a life of suffering just so they can enter a afterlife of suffering. Do we really have free will or are we just being manipulated in a way to fulfill Gods will. Because remember the bible has prophecies about the future and certain events also about who gets saved and who doesnt, Even the elites in this world. Are they just being manipulated as to fulfill the doomsday prophecy. Just like Judas who needed to betray Jesus and fulfill the OT prophecy concerning the messiah.

The yogis have said that everything that has and will happen to us has been put in motion by God the moment he made the universe. However, the only free will we have is to look inward and achieve peace and thankfulness to God.
