Romans 5:7-9

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

God's Knowledge, Who Can Know it? - part 11


In addition to the information presented in the last post, there are several other implications to be drawn.

1.        God perfectly knows my future choice therefore my choice is, from God’s perspective, determined before I make it.

2.        Because God has perfect knowledge of future events and choices, He necessarily must have decreed their occurrence.

3.        God perfectly knows my future choice therefore I can’t choose against His decree.

4.        God perfectly knows my future choice therefore I can’t choose differently. Refer back to number seven above.

5.        If my choice is not predetermined then God cannot know my future choice perfectly. The denial of this is what has caused some to comply with Open Theism. Refer back to number six above.

6.        If I can choose against the decree of God then He doesn’t actually know my future choice and thus has not decreed it.

7.        If I can choose differently then God doesn’t know my future choice perfectly.
