RE: Cognitive dissonance
March 2, 2016 at 9:11 pm
I'd like to offer an explanation for this one;

3A) God knows everything we're going do to, before we do it, because he knows everything.

3B) We are free to make genuine choices.

Let's say I had a mouse that could find its way to the centre of a maze where there was a piece of cheese. I could observe that mouse make free-will decisions to turn left or right as he goes. Now even though I know exactly which way he will turn, I am in no way interfering with his free will.
