If God was good he would acccept everyone,

Suppose that when I get dressed in the morning, I can put on either a pair of black socks or a pair of white socks.
If God knows that I will put on a pair of white socks and I put on a pair of black socks instead, God does not know everything and therefore, is not omniscient.
But if I have to put on the color of socks God knows I will put on, then I do not have free will as I have to make the choice He knows I will make.
If God is truly omniscient, then He knows whether I am going to heaven or hell before He creates me. How can an omnibenevolent God create someone only to destine him to hell? How can an omnibenevolent God punish beings that do not have free will and have to do what He knows they will do?
@ CelestialGirl: Because God would have know what we will do and it would be his fault since he created us that way, we wouldn't have a chance to decide anything for real since he knew what irt was so when he made mankind or started the Big Bang he would know that I for example won't belive in him so that is kind of bad because with creating everything he already knew that I was gonna burn in hell for not beliveing in him so its his fault.
@ frodo34x: I just say if he was good he would accept all people. And he knows os if he is omniscent doesn't he. I mean how can he let anyone not live in paradise if he knew he wouldn't live the way he wanted when he started creation, he could have made a better world, where everyone belives in him and can go to Heaven
Oh and people that don't have the chance to live a good live exist. I think many people in India and Africa have rather bad lives without God and in america there are ghettos too aren't there? If you are brougt up one way you can't just behave another.
And since God knows anything he also knew that there will a saddam or a Hitler, and just think about how many bad things happened in his name he must have known that when he showed himself to the jews or when he told Mohammed to tell people about him or when he put his "son" on the earth.
Um maybe they don't have enough money, and will probably die suffering but they can still be grateful for what they had, besides I've met someone who lives in Africa and people there do beleive in God-sure not all of them beleive in God but the ones that do are alot happier than the ones that don't.
About the God is evil cause he made us this way, he made us this way for free will, he did create it yes but it never touched it it happened when we ate the fruit!
On my experience, I had the following point of views on Judgement Day.
Religion:
Based on the Revelation, on the day that only He, the Great One above or God knows, he will sort out the people just as how a shepheard separates goats from the sheeps in the farm. All those who believe and had dedicated themselves to God will be rewarded with heavenly glory while those who continously sin without remorse will be sent to hell.
Science Reality:
The sun is about to lose it's energy that supports life. Since it's a star, a few more millenniums, it will explode anytime and become a black hole that will suck everything into it's dark vortex. I am positive that this will really happen sometime in the clouded future.
Science Fiction:
Dinosaurs, Robots and the supernatural will rise from hell or wherever they are supposed to be and will annihilate everything in Planet Earth making everything their's or some madman planning to take over the world.
Anyways, even if I do believe in the three things I stated, I won't think about the world ending right now. I have many things to enjoy and life is worth living especially when the world progresses.
Chouices he knew they had to make in that particular situation because of upbringin and other reasons that weren't their fault . And if someone knows whatever will happen and there is no other possibility for it, I wouldn't call it free will, the concept of a God is against free will anyway.
Now you are saying that people shouldnt take responsiblity for their actions because of environmental factors. Im pretty sure the law would disagree with you, I know that I do.
Just because God's knows what you will do before you do it doesnt mean that he makes you do it.
How is the concept of God against free will?
No no no, I said if God would exist then people shouldn't have responsibility. My Philosophical Ideas are of a whole different kind again I just say someone that doesn'T have free will should at least not be punished by the person who made them do it.
And of course god knowing what will happen and still create it that way means that god made you do it and is responsible.
And I am sorry I didn't mean the concept of God but the concept of the Christian God as omniscent and omnipotent is against free will .
