Free-will

Christians believe that God knows all our choices before we make them. They believe that God can actually determine your choices as well. However, while God knows what choice you will make, He still gives individuals the power to actually choose. This means that christians describe God as omniscient and omnipotent. This means that He has the power to know everything and an infinate amount of power, but he gives indivuals some that power to make their own decidions. In Christian theology, it is believed that people will choose between everlasting life or everlasting death. If Christians become so focused on human decision, they can lose sight of the dependence on God but if Christians are too emphasized on their dependence on God, they lose sight of the importance of thier own decisions. Although there is a lot of controversy over God's role in free will, most christains believe that the responsibility is shared between God and the people.
