that means that god have fore-knowledge of whatever anybody is going to do right?
E.g. A woman prophesied that America is not going to hold the next elections, if it happens that it comes to pass, has she got anything to do with the whole process?

But yet the woman can be wrong and the election still will hold... so can god still be wrong when he fore-knows ur actions?

The earth might be billions of years old, no qualms, but every living thing is less than 7000 yrs old.

I'm a creationist, but I differ on the age of earth, not necessarily up to billions, it can be thousands, but certainly not in the 6 days. As for your question, [size=20]Yes, Johnydon22 [/size]

That God knew is the main point, the time frame is inconsequential.

Ok he knew, and he cannot be wrong which means adam and eve cannot choose to do another thing instead because if they did anything else then god fore-knowledge was wrong.. So now tell me where is the choice is this scenario?

It is only the non-blacks and some grafted animals, grafted plants, the so called extra-terrestrial beings that are less than 7000 years old. even all the non-blacks are grafted humanbeings.
If GOD knows what will happen in a billion years, i do not know, i do know for a fact that he knows what exactly will happen, or how it will happen for the next 25000 years. it is from this knowledge of 25000 years that prophesies in the books or from the prophets comes from.
Blacks are older than the universe itself, much older.

This question was also answered, even specially. '''' The classic objection to this position is that God’s foreknowledge and foreordination
of the fall damages man’s freedom. In other words, if God created mankind with full
knowledge of the impending fall into sin, how can man be responsible for his sin? The
best answer to this question can be found in the Westminster Confession of Faith
chapter III:
“God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely,
and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so, as thereby neither is God
the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty
or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established” ''''

This question has also been answered. ''' What this is saying is that God ordains future events in such a way that our freedom
and the working of secondary causes (e.g., laws of nature) are preserved.
Theologians call this “concurrence.” God’s sovereign will flows concurrently with our
free choices in such a way that our free choices always result in the carrying out of
God’s will (by “free choices” we mean that our choices are not coerced by outside
influences).'''

Yes! It means God's will bends to our will in a way both are preserved, not the other way.

I (my views and ideas) mean that I bend to your will in a way that both wills are preserved. E.g. If Atiku bends to the will of Buhari, in a way in which Atiku's will of being president in the next four years is preserved. smiley

but this doesnt mean Buhari know what atiku will do before he does it...gerrit it now?

So now i take it you mean god doesn't know what we will do or fore-planned it.. he bends his own will to suite our decisions right?

Lol... You see, you dont even really understand what is it you have been yapping all day long.. You move from asserting that he knows everything and anything anybody will do here
That God knew is the main point, the time frame is inconsequential.
now as our questions progressed you abandoned that idea and adopted that he bends his will to whatever man does..here
Yes! It means God's will bends to our will in a way both are preserved, not
the other way.
which one is it exactly?

Does he know what we will do before we do them, which means he already planned everything.. both your good and bad actions?

or

He doesnt know but bend his his own will to ours. which means he didnt plan anything or fore-knows anything we do but reconciles everything we choose to his own will?

You still don't make any sense at all, just dribble around contradictions thats all..

OK. A better example is a lion who wants to eat a rat and dog at the same time and sees that the dog is after the rat, therefore, he allowed the dog to have its will, he then ran after the dog, pounced on it and ate it. The will of the dog was preserved, so was his.

The dog may decide not to eat the rat (freewill) and the lion is not 100% sure the dog will eat the rat, even if he is sure the dog can still choose not to their by the lion is wrong.
