>Just another tought, if God is omniscient & knows the future, then doesn't that automatically deny that we have free-will. If God knows the future then all of our actions are pre-ordained, there is nothing we can do to change things, so need take no responsibility for what we do.
No.. God granting us free will also includes requiring us to take responsibility for the exercise of the same. I have been granted the right to drive; I must also prove myself a responsible driver. God has given man free will and will hold him accountable for its use and abuse. It's where we get the notion of personal responsibility actually.
We should move this to Chatter...

Everything I don't understand must be easy!
The difficulty of any task is measured by the capacity of the agent performing the work.
