chiclovesyou asked: how do y'all feel about predestination vs free will? I kind of fall between in the middle, but I don't know how Biblical that kind of view is. you guys are the best <3

I believe predestination and free will go hand in hand. 

Meaning God does knows everything! c: 

There’s not one thing that God doesn’t know. God already knows who’s going to heaven and who isn’t, but just because He knows doesn’t mean it effects our choice of free-will. 

No one tells us what or what not to believe we choose for ourselves.

dreaming--free asked: hey guys! love the blog! :) i have a question for y'all. my youth group lately has been talking about the subject of God giving us freewill or not. The whole "Do we choose God or Does God choose us?" kind of thing! I just want to know your stand point on this. I, personally, have been struggling with this. Because if God is a just God, why does He create people, He knows will not choose Him? You know what I am saying?

Hai Kristen! c:

thnx for checking out our blog <3

You have a really good question! I think I know what you’re asking.

The truth is: We are all predestined to go to hell. But God was generous enough to send his son Jesus to die on the cross in order for us to have that free will. 

Now what exactly is free will? Free will is the choice God gave us to either choose A. Life or B. Death. This is totally and 100% completely our choice, God will not interfere in our choice. 

I’ll give you an example:

Ok, Let’s say that Obama knows how many people living in the states are living here illegally… So he decides to be generous and makes an immigration law that will assist illegal immigrants in becoming legal for free. (All the illegal immigrants know about this new law.)  Now all the immigrants have the choice to apply or not apply. Those who don’t go and apply will be deported and those who do go and apply will not be deported.

God knows how many people are not saved. There’s the bible, preachers, evangelists, etc. We have the choice to listen to them or to tune out. At the end of the day the choice is ours.

I hope I answered your question.
