The contradiction of having our deeds registered in God s Record while having free will  


The contradiction of having our deeds registered in God s Record while having free will  

    Our deeds are foreknown to God in his record but they are not pre-ordained for us against our will, they are only pre-ordained in his prescience. 
In the same way we may foresee in the light of knowledge of our children's 
characters that they will make a wrong choice before they actually make it ,because you know your son or your daughter very well that's why you 
expected this behaviour from him or her.
 
   God the Almighty preordained intentions and hearts of man. If these are evil,man will come to evil. If good, good will be his fate.Predestination does not 
contradict freedom of choice as God preordained based on His complete knowledge of what our choices and intentions will be. Man, is his freedom, may 
act contrary to what satisfies God Almighty, but he cannot do anything in contradiction to His will. God granted us freedom to transgress against His wishes; we disobey Him, but He gave no one the freedom to transcend His will.

  This freedom is further affirmed by our experience that it is impossible, under any 
pressure, to compel the heart to accept anything it does not want to. We can force anyone through threats and force them to stay with us, but no pressure 
whatsoever can make them love us. God has guarded our hearts from all forms of compulsion and duels. This is why God judges us according to what is in the heart and He rewards according to the intention, which is visible to no one but 
Him.

     God Almighty could make us obey Him without giving us the 
choice, but compulsion is not a part of Divine Law because judgement and reward are meaningless without choice.
