If Everything is Determined How Can We Have Free Will?

A student at The University of Oklahoma asked if everything is already determined how can "Freedom of the Will" be possible. #Apologetics

That question always plagued my mind... glad I found this video.. God will give u knowledge and understanding if you choose to seek him.. Thank you Jesus! God bless you Dr. Turek

I wonder, do the apologists ever fear not knowing the answers to the questions. They are very knowledgeable. It can't only be the human mind but the work of the Holy Spirit.

if we have no free will Jesus would never have waisted time rebuking people, but the fact is, Jesus did hold people accountable

For me, it comes down to the fact that we down here don't know what's going to happen, so every choice we make and everything we do is as valuable like we had free will and that's good enough for me.

GOD:MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS.

The fact that he is outside of time is such an interesting but obvious perspective I had never thought about

[Redimido]

Foreknowledge and determinism are two different things, foreknowledge does not necessitate causation

This man is full of wisdom of God!

You literally debunked Calvinism which is a demonic doctrine. Thank God for this man.

I'm a beliver and I've asked myself this all the time, I don't think he explained it to well for me. It's still odd.

Humans are such a confused species. If they have free will, it's not good enough because somebody else' explanation didn't "make sense" to them. On the other hand, let's say that they didn't have free will, and they would call God unjust. No matter what option they choose, people are naturally inclined to tear it down because destroying something (including themselves) has always been the easiest thing for man to do.

LOVED the football analogy, really eye-opening. Truly everything is for the ultimate good of the Kingdom, and if your rebellion is gonna further His Kingdom then yeapp, you'll be born and live (what you think is) your life but alas, you're doing His will through your free will. Only difference is you can't change what the players do, but God can, but the ending is the same.

[Matt-tcml]

He’s the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. He knows what choices you’ll make in your life but allows you to make them all. Good, bad or indifferent. He wants us to choose Him, but allows us to stray. He loves us so much to let us choose.

This video popped up as I’ve been seeking understanding in this subject, thank you God

[leroyjennings]

This one will always be hard to grasp because we have finite minds. Free will and predestination has always been a crutch in the church because people will literally leave a church or be divided by it and the funny thing is this happens even when those that cause the problems aren't even all that smart about it

"We have free will"
Calvinists:*heavy breathing*😳😳😳😨😨😨

Guys it's doesn't matter if you couldn't understand God fully. All you need to do is to put your trust in him.. He has great things in store for you.. All your doubts will be cleared in heaven.. God bless

[yepisaiditx]

Finally after years of searching and self doubt the question was answered- thank you sir so much!
