if God already knows who is and isn't gonna go to Heaven then does it even matter what we do with our time on earth if it is already set who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell?
Well it does cause you could change his mind and when he see the good u are doing and spreading the good news about him then he may just let u spent eternity praising his holy name.
but if God sees the future then he wouldn't have to change his mind
true he forgives everyone as long as u ask for forgiveness so he will always forgive u
I don't think God even knows what you're going to do
yes he does he created you and knows everything you will do he is the one who planned out your whole life
And how would you know that?
Cause you were told that?
Because I go to church and listen to my pastor talk my Lord and Savior because i am a believer of the almighty God himself
Christianity shouldn't even exist, it goes against God
how does it go against God if we are believers of the almighty im confused.
For more clarification, you might wanna ask Hero, but Christianity doesn't follow what it's supposed to be, there is so much history behind the truth that Christianity doesn't teach you
but im not about to go back and forth your opinion is your opinion
Well, we're given a choice if we want to follow HIM and His commandments. It's like the familiar question people ask if God knew the Devil was bad, why would he be an angel. It all matters on choice.
I mean I don't mean it to be rude, I just wanted to share
Ok so heres what I know, God brough us to the earth for a purpose, Yeah he knows what it is but anything can change even if he knows whats gonna happen today or tmr. He wants to see what/ who we will choose

He wants to see what/ who we will choose \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) that is what i learned and was taught
but if someone can see the future (namely God) then that means there is a set future and wouldn't that mean we have no free will, we're just gonna live, die, and end up where ever we were destined to (Heaven or Hell)?
If God could actually see into the future, what we'd do with our lives, how would it make sense for him to bad things happen, such as crime,
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @CurtisGilstrap but if someone can see the future (namely God) then that means there is a set future and wouldn't that mean we have no free will, we're just gonna live, die, and end up where ever we were destined to (Heaven or Hell)? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) we will all find out at the end when we are faced to face with him on judgement day now im done with this .
God created people with free will, not a set course
Again, this is all based on choices. We have a choice to choose violence, or choose peace.
but if we do have free will then God cant see what will happen in the future, and if he cant see the future like the bible says he can well that means the bible lied, in which case means couldn't the bible of lied about other things?
The bible didn't like, people just mis interpret it
The religion of Christianity is a giant sham, imo ofc, it doesn't teach you everything, and withholds other things in doing so
"For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything." - 1 john 3:20 everything includes well everything, past present and future
The bible is not a book of "What ifs". It is a book of Laws, Statutes and Commandments. And if you knew who you were and what the bible says, you probably would not by standing idly by wasting time thinking about "What ifs"
I really just want to know if we even have free will in this world, cause if not then why even try to do anything
I think the point is you do have free will, it isn't confirmed if you're going to heaven or hell, your purpose is to fear god and live by his commandments

MOST DEFINTLY! GOD CAN CHANGE HIS MIND AND YOU CAN MAKE IT UP TO HIM!

Yes it does matter, you're supposed to follow the word of the Bible cuz its Gods word he doesn't decide what you do you decide that but God tells you what is wrong and what is right and you decide which path to follow so no, where your going is not set in stone that's why In the book of Bible it talks about judgment day and that's when he decides where you're going... hope this helps and hope anyone who reads this is drown closer to God
Thnx for the reword
ahem god dont exist in my opinion
but even without faith in god you should still have your own morals to follow
it doesn't matter if there's a heaven or hell or if we just disappear into nothing as our conscious fades from existence
what matters is the personal satisfaction of knowing you lived a good and fulfilling life
we dont need some book to tell us to do the right thing
