a thought on predestination.... someone once explained to me that the existence of predestination and free will at the same time is possible because: if God is omniscient and knows the future, He knows what we will do, and whether or not we will choose to accept HIm or not. But, he cannot intervene because if he does then that infringes on our free will. Er...but I've been wondering--doesn't that still mean that some of us are still damned from the get-go? It's like a big, cosmic "I TOLD YOU SO." Is there room for free will? To what extent? I am TOO confused.
