Foreknowledge and Free Will Debate

The Foreknowledge and Free Will debate explores whether God’s knowing the future (foreknowledge) limits human freedom (free will). If God already knows what we will choose, some argue our choices are predetermined, questioning free will. Others believe foreknowledge doesn’t cause our decisions; we still genuinely choose freely, even if God knows the outcome in advance. The debate examines whether foreknowledge and free will can coexist or if they are inherently incompatible, raising important questions about responsibility, morality, and the nature of divine omniscience and human autonomy.
