Maybe it's water...or carbon.
They let you use the internet? :) Yes. If you don't put me in jail you can't put me in jail. And if you don't put me in jail it's because...
I'm basing it on the definition of God: "a being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe"...or even...
I'm not basing that on any scripture, just reason. If everything, including man's will, is in God's control, there is only God's will. Anything...
Well an omniscient being would have to exist at all times as well, so there's really no point in not praying either. If you do pray, you did...
I don't see how there can be free will if everything is in God's control, and if everything is in God's control how can there be any mistakes?
