Since God is supposed to be all-knowing and all-powerful, then doesn't that mean that he creates humans exactly as he sees fit, and since he's all-knowing, wouldn't that also mean that he would know exactly how every human would act? If he is both all-knowing and all-powerful, then wouldn't it be impossible for any human to have the freewill to change his fate?
This assumes that we are all products of God. Clearly Christ did not make that connection in the parable of the weeds. In this parable God plants his crop/Christians and an enemy plants weed seeds over top. If you read the story it mentions the weed by name and if you google the weed it looks just like grain/wheat except the grain seeds are black and inedible.
God/the land owner in the story let the wheat and weeds grow together and then separate them at the harvest. Taking the wheat into the store house and the weeds were thrown into the fire.
This pattern is repeated many many times in several different parables.
Bottom line not all belong to God. God only ever created Adam, from Adam produced Eve and everyone else is a reproduction of what God created
Ah, I see. So some humans are inherently better than others for no other reason than that Gaud arbitrarily chose them as his favorites. What a nepotistic dick.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
