I have long been troubled by the paradox arising when one considers the question of how God can be omniscient and yet humans have free will and are to held accountable for their actions by God.
Closely related to this is the puzzle surrounding if God is all-powerful, all-loving, and omnipresent, and all-knowing, why does evil exist, and why are people account for their choices and actions.
I cannot rationally explain such true contradictions, but, I will answer that I believe these logical and theological contradictions come close to describing divine metaphysics as they are, and yet humans have and exercise free will, and will go to heaven or hell, based on their spiritual and ethical decisions and actions, and humans being held accountable for their choices and actions by the good deities, is a just situation.
I can neither prove nor disprove via argumentation, nor offer empirically derived evidence pro or con to make the case, but, I accept what I wrote above on faith. That is a true reaction, and is all I have to offer.
