"Bluesproverb, post: 4870195, member: 316904"]Don't all doctrines and denominations arrive using the scriptures as their foundation?
From what I've read God does predestine things. We plan but he determines our path.
Not quite. There are numerous instances in scripture where people pray for direction or the scripture indicates we choose
If I insist I have complete free will and my life sucks, isn't that saying God sees that and does nothing to help?
And wouldn't that mean God doesn't intercede? Which makes prayer worthless.
Well if you have complete free will, why would God do anything? Then again if you have that free will, you can pray. Neither view is correct.
Or, is God wholly sovereign over his creation? That he made to be imperfect.
Why would God who is perfect, create imperfection? Are you familiar with Genesis? When He created, He said what He created was good, which you can find in Gen 1.
Besides, all the prophecies in the Bible tell us God's preplanned those things. Those then? But nothing else?
Prophecy indicates what will happen. God knows what will happen. Difference between foretelling what will happen and making something happen.
How can our will overcome Gods? If our will does us harm and God doesn't intercede being he's omniscient, can he then be Omni benevolent?
Where do you get the expression omni-benevolent from?
