Somehow, I feel that God does not predestine everything - which is where free will comes in. He knows everything, but does not necessarily cause it to occur. Everything is pre-known but not predestined.
This is how someone once explained it to me. Prayer is a like a way which God "forces" us to have a relationship with him. The analogy drawn is that of a grandfather who holds some coins in his hands. The grandchildren are on his lap, trying to get him to open his hands. In the end, the coins given are inconsequential. It is the time spent with the grandfather that he wants. The analogy is perhaps imperfect, but, thats that.
There is this other little thing. Although we say that
even if Jesus was married, he is still God, this does have one other implication - the reliability of our Bible. In other words, it is consequential if it is different from what the Bible describes.
God bless those who are at the church camp.
You were blessed by P{ZM}
